How does Dasher pay work?
We know that Dashers have a lot of choices when it comes to gig work. This is why DoorDash has created a pay model designed to make earnings fair and transparent for any work done through the DoorDash platform.
Base Pay
Dasher Gear
After your first dash, we'll send you a Dasher activation kit that contains items like a food warming bag and a Red Card.
Since no two people have the same taste in gear, there’s an online store so you can get the gear and equipment you want.

Frequently asked questions
Every day, people across Canada order food and other goods through DoorDash. When a customer places an order, we offer the delivery to nearby Dashers, who earn money picking up and dropping it off.
DoorDash is available in over 80 cities across Canada — including Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, and Quebec City, with new communities added regularly.
Signing up in Canada takes just a few minutes, and most Dashers start earning within days of being approved.
To earn money as a Dasher in Canada, all you need is a smartphone and a mode of transportation: a car, bike, scooter, or motorcycle. We'll take care of the rest.
Nope. You can use any car to deliver and earn in Canada. You just need a valid driver's license and insurance.
Just tap “Already started signing up?” at the top of this page and log in with the email and phone number you used to sign up for your Canadian Dasher account. If anything's missing, we'll let you know — otherwise, you'll see your current status.
You're the boss. As an independent contractor in Canada, you decide when, where, and how much you dash — a flexible way to earn, with no seasonal, temporary, or part-time schedule required.
Nope! No prior experience is required. If you've worked in rideshare, food delivery, grocery delivery, or courier services, delivering with DoorDash is a great way to keep earning. Dashers come from all backgrounds and industries, including catering, truck, and taxi driving.
We welcome drivers and bikers from other gig economy or commercial services such as UberEats, Postmates, Lyft, Caviar, Eat24, Google Express, GrubHub, AmazonFresh, Instacart, Amazon, Uber, Waitr, and Bite Squad. Dashers come from all backgrounds and industries, and include catering drivers, truck drivers, and taxi drivers.
With delivery, there are two big differences: you don't carry passengers, and you can use any mode of transportation — a car (two doors is fine), bike, or motorcycle. It's a bit more hands-on than rideshare, since you get in and out of your vehicle to pick up and drop off orders.
Once you receive a delivery or task opportunity, you'll see where it is and what you'll make, and can choose to accept or reject it. Once you accept, there are generally three steps, all of which are clearly outlined in the Driver app:
Drive to the restaurant
Pick up the food
Drive to the customer to drop off the food
* Terms and conditions: The Gas Price Relief Incentive is available to eligible Dashers completing deliveries using a motor vehicle (excluding motor scooters and ebikes) between 03/23/26 and 06/21/26, with qualification periods running Monday 12:01am - Sunday 11:59pm local time. No opt-in is required. Dashers may earn $1.50 for every 50 kilometres driven, up to a maximum of $36 per week for driving 1,200 kilometres. Kilometres driven are calculated based on deliveries that are accepted and completed, as recorded in the Dasher app, and only those deliveries count toward totals. Eligible payments are typically issued by the following Wednesday and appear in the Earnings tab (for example, kilometres completed 5/23/26–5/29/26 are expected to be paid by 6/3). Any "per litre savings" estimates are illustrative only, and actual savings may vary based on vehicle efficiency, fuel prices, and driving patterns. Dashers must have an active account in good standing. DoorDash may withhold or adjust payments for fraud or abuse, and may modify or terminate the promotion at any time. Taxes are the Dasher's responsibility.
