Two ways to drive with Flash Drive

However you want to work, there's a place for you — and you'll know which applies before you start.

🧭

Self-employed

Be your own boss. Choose your days, see round offers from contractors near you, and accept the ones that suit you. You claim your vehicle and fuel as expenses and pay your own tax. Most couriers drive this way.

💼

Employed on a wage

Prefer a steady wage? Some contractors take couriers on as employees. You get your own app — your contractor assigns your rounds, your hours are logged automatically, and payroll is handled for you.

Why drive with Flash Drive

The pay is clear, the hours are yours, and the admin is done for you.

📅

Choose your days

Set your availability week to week — work 2 days or 6, including Sundays. You're in control.

💷

Clear, regular pay

Self-employed couriers earn £90–£210 a day — paid every 2 weeks for the first 2 months, then monthly. Employed couriers are paid a regular monthly wage.

🛡️

Insurance covered

You don't need to arrange hire-and-reward insurance yourself — that's covered for you.

📱

Everything in one app

Track earnings, set availability, see invoices and request advances — all on your phone.

Common questions

Is this employed or self-employed work?

It can be either — it depends on the contractor. Most couriers are self-employed: you're your own boss, you choose your days, see round offers and accept the ones that suit you, claim your vehicle and fuel as expenses, and pay your own tax to HMRC. Some contractors also take couriers on as employees on a wage, with a dedicated app and your hours logged automatically. You'll know which applies before you start.

Do I need my own van?

You need access to a vehicle — a car works for many rounds, a van is a plus. It can be your own, leased or hired. You don't need to arrange hire-and-reward insurance yourself.

How and when do I get paid?

By bank transfer. If you're self-employed, you're paid every 2 weeks for your first 2 months, then on the 15th of every month — and you can request an advance withdrawal in the app if you need cash sooner. If you're employed on a wage, you're paid a regular monthly salary through your contractor's payroll.

How quickly can I start?

Most couriers are onboarded and on a round within 3–7 days of applying — faster if your documents are ready.

I've never done courier work — is that OK?

Absolutely. Most of our couriers had no delivery experience when they started. The app guides you and there's always someone on the phone if you're stuck.
