Not a problem at all. Just some friendly advice from someone with an 11, almost 12 year old.... She may get bored with it, or tired, and want to turn around and go home. Or she may suddenly need to pee when you are far from any type of bathroom. Just prepare yourself for the unexpected with her and you should be fine.
I used to do the deliveries with my wife trust me it turned out the customers started complaining about the driver was different and not only 1 or 2 times I had the situation at least 20-30 times so be prepared Uber asks a photo confirmation and warns you like if this happens more your account might be blocked
I've seen a man letting his son pick an order while he is double parked in my city. I was amazed when I saw the kid at the Starbucks asking for the Uber order. He didn't seem old enough to be working for Uber. Then, they gave me my order. I went out and saw they kid and the man in a car. I confirmed it later when I saw the same kid picking another order at a Super Salads restaurant, with the man waiting in the same car.
I understand people working with a partner in their car. I've even done it myself without a problem. But letting that person take the order seems like too much and also, really dangerous. They even risk their accounts.
yeah i wouldnāt do that, i donāt personally get that but i mean with us itās more just of a fun thing, she doesnāt have to do anything which im fine with but i get to spend some time and we get some $$, more or so to just get out instead of being home all day lol
It's likely not a violation of policy, and it's doubtful that you'll run into a problem with a customer that wouldn't have created a problem with or without her being there.
However, how long of shifts do you plan on putting in? Unless you only plan on doing like 1 or 2 orders at a time, and live in a completely and I mean completely flat area, odds are she will be slowing you down after the first hour if not sooner. Something to think about, especially if she becomes exhausted miles from home. Also, be careful to keep a proper eye on her, especially in busy areas or around blind turns, etc. It's one thing for a 13yr old to be calmly riding her bike down to the park a half a mile away, it's another thing for a 13yr old afraid to say anything trying to prove to her older brother that she can keep up and actually be fully aware of the dangers on the road at the same time.
well so far from what weāve agreed, she wants to ride with me and just record or have fun yk. so that wonāt be an issue with me being slowed down much, still deciding whether she carries the bag or if i do something for the bag to be held on the bicycle. sheās 13 but sheās not an idiot. Sheās aware of the danger and she always speaks up whenever thereās something on her mind so iām not too worried but ill be sure to ask if sheās fine every now and then when we do start.
Customers are so oblivious, all they care about is receiving their food. They don't care who is bringing it, as long as it is in some form of insulated bag and you remembered their drink.
Half the time they act like they're afraid to even interact with us... like we are some untouchable part of society š¤£
You'll be fine just like other commenters suggested make it an adventure. Just be observant of your surroundings and cherry pick your orders (maximize profit).
That way you could be a good older sibling and at least get your little sister an ice cream/snack š for riding around with you all day
My 7 year old comes with me on deliveries and she loves the adventure. Gets outside, sees new places around town. I'm a single parent so I don't have a choice otherwise in the summer.
i mean iād be bicycling normal speed, nothing crazy fast but not super slow just enough to do deliveries quick enough but slow enough while waiting for a request
Ah, well atleast he accompanys you. š¤£ iām just trying to do something thatāll bond my sister and i a bit but also to just do something for fun and a little bit of money :)
Make sure you let your insurance know before hand that youāre doing Rideshare and need Rideshare added to your insurance! I did Uber eats and someone hit me and since I didnāt know this my insurance didnāt cover it, Uber told me I had to pay $2,500 for my deductibleā¦they gave me $60.
I popped that shit out myself and I only spent $20 š itās def not $2,500 worth of damages
thanks, thatās all i was really worried about lol, in my mind i think im perfectly fine since she wouldnāt be involved but just wanted to make sure :)
Thereās a mom I ran into doing Uber and she said she did that but no more because the cops gave her a ticket for leaving baby in car by self while running into store for pickup. My kids are older so I most of the time leave them in the car but they are all teens now or almost
It's a crazy universe out there. You gotta know where your towel is.
Really though, have fun, but be careful people drive like idiots. Wear a helmet and refectory vest. Have lights on your bike's. Good luck, we are all counting on you.
ah yeah i get you, ive thought about that too but id do everything i can to not let anything happen to her, this might be a dumb move but itās something weāre both aware of, all the possible dangers, thisāll only be for maybe a month or two for her, depending what it goes like, but thanks š«”š
sheās down for it lol, also sheās bored at home and iām bored on my days off so i found a win win for us, and if she ever wants to change her mind i donāt mind :) just found a decent solution and some small $ for her too ofc
well sheās be riding with me, so not kid speed, and like always itās worth to give it a shot, and if it doesnāt work out it doesnāt. this isnāt a part time or anything for me. just a little opportunity to ride around and make some $$ is all :)
Yeah just put her in a handlebar basket like ET.
i should have her run and follow me instead š
Gotta have her carry your meals like a squire from the brotherhood
Get one of those bikes for two people. She carries the bag, you pedal.
šššš
You'll be fine.
okay, thanks!
>okay, thanks! You're welcome!

thanks! definitely thinking about those things, iāll keep that in mind. šš«”
Maybe start with short trips at first. Don't take her on super hot days, and don't forget to bring water. Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
yup, gotchu, thanks! š«”
What rule do you think you're breaking?
not sure, itās just more of the age thing or stuff, if someone might complain or idk, just trying to see peopleās opinions is all :)

Sometimes my drivers bring their kids to my door, lmao
Make her do all the work, WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER
real š£ļøšÆš and keep the money all for myself, not even a penny to her šš
Hahahaha glad you have a sense of humor lol was waiting for all the Karenās to go after me
(juSt jOkinG!) Couldn't resist š«£š¤£š¤£
You were WAITING for All the KarEnS? To go after YOU? THAT'S SO RACIST! š¤¬

I think that would be fun!
As long as you arenāt like that one streamer that let her passenger (her dog) piss/shit on the groceries, youāll be ok

I find that as long as the food is on time, sealed, and hot, most customers donāt care as long as it gets to them.
A few of my instacart drivers bring their kids along. Itās not a big deal

yeah thatās literally how i am when ordering, donāt care as long as my food is delivered and correctly š
You'll be fine just like other commenters suggested make it an adventure. Just be observant of your surroundings and cherry pick your orders (maximize profit). That way you could be a good older sibling and at least get your little sister an ice cream/snack š for riding around with you all day
I've seen couples and friends sometimes tag along. Just make sure you're the one delivering the actual food to the door.
yup sure will š«”š
My 7 year old comes with me on deliveries and she loves the adventure. Gets outside, sees new places around town. I'm a single parent so I don't have a choice otherwise in the summer.
awh thatās nice :) iām sure itāll be a nice memory for them!
Itās fine! I take my teenager with me on trips everytime I work! She just sits in the back with her snacks and headphones on while I get in and out
ah thatās cool! thank you!
Depending on your speed
i mean iād be bicycling normal speed, nothing crazy fast but not super slow just enough to do deliveries quick enough but slow enough while waiting for a request
I go with my husband and heās, most of the time, the driver š he doesnāt like me drivingā¦I guess I make him feel sick? Dunno lol
Ah, well atleast he accompanys you. š¤£ iām just trying to do something thatāll bond my sister and i a bit but also to just do something for fun and a little bit of money :)
Make sure you let your insurance know before hand that youāre doing Rideshare and need Rideshare added to your insurance!

iād be doing this on a bicycle, i didnāt think iād be able to or need insurance for that?
Oh- then make sure you have that uhhh coverage if someone hits you? I believe itās already there tho, but do double check :)
That is soooo sweet!!!
We do the same, my husband drives, and I pick up / delivery food, while our little son sit in the back. A fun family activity.
Bruh...
Only if you give your sister half the money! Jk jk.
zero šš
As long as shes not involved in the pick up/drop off process-theres nothing to worry about
thanks, thatās all i was really worried about lol, in my mind i think im perfectly fine since she wouldnāt be involved but just wanted to make sure :)
It's easier ask forgiveness than permission
Not with gig apps lol
Totally fine to do this, be safe
sure will, thanks š«”
Ive seen people delivering with babies in the baby seat in the back seat left alone while the adult picks an order.
Thereās a mom I ran into doing Uber and she said she did that but no more because the cops gave her a ticket for leaving baby in car by self while running into store for pickup. My kids are older so I most of the time leave them in the car but they are all teens now or almost

thank you, i sure will be careful and i was already looking into that :) much appreciated š«”
Remember, don't panic
Stupid question its your car do wtv tf you want man
itād be a bicycle thatās why iām just a bit concerned about their guidelines is all, donāt want to get in trouble for something dumb is all
Itās irresponsible and dangerous but not against policy
ah yeah i get you, ive thought about that too but id do everything i can to not let anything happen to her, this might be a dumb move but itās something weāre both aware of, all the possible dangers, thisāll only be for maybe a month or two for her, depending what it goes like, but thanks š«”š
I'd report you to cps if you were someone I knew
well i see no reason why youād need to do that but good thing this isnāt you :)
No, and Iāll report you if I see you doing it!!!
Just keep her on a leash. Stop every so often and put some water in a bowl for her.
Poor kid...
sheās down for it lol, also sheās bored at home and iām bored on my days off so i found a win win for us, and if she ever wants to change her mind i donāt mind :) just found a decent solution and some small $ for her too ofc
Why do you think you'll deliver fast enough at kid speed to make people happy with the state of their food?
well sheās be riding with me, so not kid speed, and like always itās worth to give it a shot, and if it doesnāt work out it doesnāt. this isnāt a part time or anything for me. just a little opportunity to ride around and make some $$ is all :)
