- Social Security card: you’ll need it for the sign-up.
- Insurance: proof of valid auto insurance for the vehicle you deliver with.
- Background check: the screening may include driving records and criminal background checks, handled according to the law.
The site says the service is available in all 50 states, and the exact rules for your area appear when you sign up.
How the app works
- Download Spark Driver from the App Store or Google Play.
- Sign up on the Spark Driver site or in the app.
- Choose the types of offers you want, such as delivery, shopping, or returns.
- Pick the times you want to drive, and accept the offers that work for you.
What to check on pay
The Spark Driver site shows trip earnings, additional earnings, and how you get paid. Pay is usually about $12 to $20 an hour for a typical delivery shift, before gas. Payouts often come weekly or every few days, and tips are added on top of the base pay. Treat these as rough figures for planning, not promises.
Do the math after gas
Track the miles you drive and the gas you buy for two weeks. Then divide your total pay by the hours you worked. That’s your real hourly rate. If it doesn’t cover your costs, try a different app or a different time of day.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own car?
You need a vehicle that’s insured for delivery, and your license must be valid. Check the Spark Driver requirements for what your vehicle needs.
Can I drive whenever I want?
Yes. You choose when to go online and which offers to accept, so you can drive part-time around other commitments.
My take
Spark Driver is worth a trial if you have a valid license, insurance, and free hours. Track your real hourly rate for two weeks, and keep it only if it covers your costs. Download the app from the App Store or Google Play and sign up through the official Spark Driver site.
