The Holiday Pay Cheque is Here
December is the busiest time for people buying gifts and having parties, and that means huge demand for delivery drivers.
This is the best time of the year to make extra money for Christmas and save money for the slow period that comes in January.
The Two-Part Earning Surge
You can make money from two major jobs during the festive season:
1. The Parcel Peak (Last-Minute Gifts)
-
When: The two weeks right before Christmas.
-
The Job: People pay extra to send last-minute gifts. Couriers who can move small parcels quickly will earn well.
2. The Fast Food Peak (Parties and Hangovers)
-
When: Christmas Eve, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve (parties), and New Year's Day (everyone needs a hangover cure).
-
The Job: People are too busy or too tired to cook. This means a massive demand for fast food delivery drivers.
The Insurance Trap
If you are paid to deliver food or parcels, you must have Hire & Reward cover. Your standard personal car insurance will NOT cover you for delivery work.
The Risk: If you crash while carrying a delivery, your insurance company will refuse to pay for the damage. You will have to pay for the repairs yourself.
