Grubhub driver requirements in 2026
Last reviewed: September 8, 2026
Grubhub delivery partners pick up restaurant orders and drop them off on a flexible schedule. Age is generally 18 — 21 in Las Vegas — and published license-tenure rules do not all say the same thing.
Published basics
- 18+ in most markets; 21+ in Las Vegas
- License tenure on the applicant FAQ: 18-year-olds need at least 1 year on a valid license; applicants 19 or older need 2 years
- Car, motorcycle, bicycle, or scooter where the market allows
- Valid driver’s license and auto insurance for drivers
- Valid driver’s license or state ID for bikers
- Smartphone with a data plan and the Grubhub for Drivers app
License tenure: two official wordings
Grubhub’s applicant FAQ splits license history by age:
- 18 — at least 1 year on a valid driver’s license
- 19+ — 2 years on a valid driver’s license
Grubhub’s sample Delivery Partner Agreement (also posted on driver support) uses one rule for everyone: at least 18 years of age and a valid driver’s license for at least 2 years.
Signup path
Start on Grubhub’s official driver site, choose a market, and finish the application in the Driver app. Background checks are required before you can deliver.
Waitlists
If your delivery market is full, join the official waitlist or consider a nearby open market shown in the signup flow. Skip unofficial sellers who claim they can place you instantly.
