Requirements to check
- Vehicle: the vehicle types Lalamove accepts in your city, such as a car, van, or motorbike.
- License and registration: a valid license and vehicle registration for the vehicle you use.
- Insurance: the insurance your city requires.
- Background check: Lalamove may screen your records as part of the sign-up.
Read the official requirements for your city before you start. They change, and some vehicle types aren’t offered everywhere.
Costs to plan for
Your costs include fuel, maintenance, tires, and insurance. For a van or car, these can take roughly a quarter to a third of each job’s pay. Track them for two weeks and compare the total with what you earn.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a van to deliver with Lalamove?
Not always. Vehicle options depend on your city. Check the official driver page for the types offered where you live.
Can I choose the jobs I take?
