About Delivery By Car
DeliveryByCar exists because of a simple gap. A driver with a car, looking for delivery work, could find app lists anywhere and scattered job ads that expired in a week — but could not find one place that answers the plain question: who hires drivers with their own car, in my city, all of them, with their websites?
So we built that place.
This site is a directory, not a job board. Job boards list openings, and openings disappear. Companies remain. Here, each company and platform is listed with what kind of work it offers, whether the driving is in your car or theirs, and a link to its own website, where you apply directly. Nothing here takes a cut of your pay, holds your application, or stands between you and the company.
The directory covers the whole shape of own-car delivery work:
- Medical courier work — routes carrying specimens, prescriptions, and supplies for labs, hospitals, pharmacies, and the courier companies that serve them. This is the deepest part of the directory, because it is where the steadiest own-car work lives.
- Courier companies — national firms and the local company in your metro that you have never heard of, because local courier firms sell to businesses, not to drivers. Many of the best routes in a city are theirs.
- Delivery apps and platforms — the parcel, food, grocery, and same-day apps that take cars, listed plainly alongside everything else, because a directory that left them out would fail a driver's first search.
- Auto parts delivery — listed truthfully: the big chains mostly provide the vehicle, and the own-car parts routes sit with distributors and courier companies. Each listing says which it is.
Alongside the directory sit the guides: plain-language answers to the questions drivers actually type into search engines — how to become a medical courier, which certificates are real, how much couriers actually keep, the 1099 tax facts, and the insurance trap that catches more new drivers than everything else combined. The guides are free, like the directory. They say what is known, they show the numbers they use, and they say plainly when something varies by state or by company — because a driver making decisions about their car, their insurance, and their income deserves straight answers, not a sales pitch wearing one.
DeliveryByCar is 100% free for drivers. No accounts, no fees, no paywall on the listings or the guides.
If you run a company that hires own-car drivers and you're not listed — or your listing is wrong — the fix is a message, not a payment. Listings are not sold. A company is here because it hires drivers with their own cars, and it stays here on the same terms.
