DoorDash Dasher

What it is

Delivery with a car, scooter or bicycle (bikes in select cities). Dashers are independent contractors who pick their own hours. Minimum age is 18 (19 or 21 in some states). A Social Security number is used for a background check.

Why I recommend it

Quick to start and good for covering a short gap. As a contractor you pay your own taxes and vehicle costs. Instant cash-out needs DoorDash's debit card. DoorDash recently agreed to a $131.5 million NYC wage settlement; see the library's article on it.
