Earn extra with your vehicle

Prices keep climbing and one paycheck rarely covers everything anymore.

A second job means a new schedule, a new boss, and giving up your free time. Most people don’t have room for that.

Grocery delivery apps skip all of it. You choose your own hours, keep every tip, and reports show drivers pulling in $15 to $25 an hour. All it takes is a car, a phone, and a free download.

Why grocery delivery is the side hustle everyone’s talking about

Grocery delivery didn’t slow down after it took off — it just kept growing. Every week, millions of households get their order dropped at the door instead of pushing a cart themselves.

Each of those orders needs someone to shop it or drive it. That someone could be you.

There’s no shift schedule and no manager checking in. Open the app, take orders you like, log off whenever.

Evenings and weekends are the busiest windows — and where most drivers rack up their best hourly numbers.

Instacart: get paid to grocery shop

Instacart runs in thousands of cities and partners with tens of thousands of stores nationwide.

You get a list, shop it, pay with the card the app provides, and drop it off. Pay lands per batch, tips are 100% yours, and cash-out can happen just hours after a delivery.

Walmart Spark: the simplest one to join

Spark is Walmart’s in-house delivery program — pick up orders in-store, drop them at the customer’s door.

Typical pay runs near $23/hour, and there’s no vehicle age limit or inspection required. A license, insurance, and a working car usually get you approved.

Shipt: bigger baskets, guaranteed minimum

Shipt handles Target orders and other retail partners, usually bigger weekly hauls — which tend to mean bigger tips.

The platform guarantees a minimum hourly rate on top of 100% tips, pays weekly, and offers same-day instant pay.

What it takes to qualify

Requirements barely change from app to app, and most adults already check every box.

You’ll need to be 18+ (21 for a couple of apps), hold a valid license and insurance, drive a working car, and carry a smartphone.

A background check runs in the background — usually clear within a week, no interview required.

What you can actually expect to earn

Most drivers land between $15–$25/hour once tips are counted, with busy zones pushing past $30.

Plenty of drivers run two apps side-by-side, filling gaps when one goes quiet.

There are more apps than most people realize

These five are just the well-known names — there are several more paying for grocery deliveries right now, including one that doesn’t require any shopping at all.
