You bid the price, so you control what a job is worth to you. Fetchr takes 15% of the accepted fee and the remaining 85% is yours.
| Pattern | Typical day |
|---|---|
| Active rider, 12 to 18 deliveries | $40 to $60 |
| Peak hours only, lunch and evening | $80 and up for the strongest riders |
| Part time, a few hours | Scales with the jobs you take |
What moves the number
- Riding at peak. Lunch and the evening run are where the volume is.
- Bidding sensibly. Undercutting everyone wins jobs that do not pay for the fuel.
- Your rating. Customers see it on every bid card and it decides who gets picked.
- Position. Sitting where the bookings are beats riding around looking for them.
