A little clarity before you send.
Agents, developers and businesses
Do I need an account to get a price?
No. POST /v1/quotes and the get_quote MCP tool are free and unauthenticated. You only need an API key to book, and signup returns one instantly, plus a sandbox key to rehearse with simulated drivers.
How fast is a delivery?
Request a quote to see estimated pickup and delivery times for your route. Timing depends on distance, the service option and nearby driver availability.
What happens if no driver accepts?
Dispatch runs six waves over about four minutes, widening from 3 km to 15 km. If nobody accepts, the delivery becomes no_driver_found and the full hold is released to your wallet automatically.
Can my agent pay without a card?
Yes. Fund the wallet with USDC on Base through x402: the deposit endpoint replies 402 with payment requirements, your agent signs and retries, and the wallet is credited on settlement. Card deposits use Stripe Checkout for when a human is present.
How do I know the item actually arrived?
Each stop declares proof_required. Drivers cannot complete a stop without it, and GET /proof returns geo-stamped photos, the recipient's name, a signature or OTP result, and timestamps. Disputes hold the funds until a human reviews.
Can I cancel?
Free at any time before a driver is assigned. After assignment and before pickup, a cancellation fee is charged. After pickup, book a return instead of cancelling.
Which cities?
Visit the coverage page or use check_coverage to check an address. Planned service areas and live driver availability are shown separately.
What can't you carry?
Alcohol, tobacco and vapes, cannabis, weapons, explosives, controlled medicines without a licensed sender, hazardous goods, loose lithium batteries, live animals, human remains, large cash and anything illegal. These are refused at creation with 422 prohibited_item.
Is there a subscription?
No. You pay per delivery from a prepaid wallet. Volume plans with lower rates and monthly invoicing start at 500 deliveries a month.
Who are the drivers?
Independent drivers verified by RentADriver complete licence, identity and vehicle checks before taking jobs. Check local coverage and on-shift availability for the route you need.
Drivers
Can I keep driving for other platforms?
Yes. RentADriver Go runs alongside whatever else you drive for: take our jobs when you're on shift with us, and your usual platforms the rest of the time.
How much does a job pay?
Every job shows its pay before you accept, and it lands in the app the moment the job is confirmed. Founding drivers pay 0% commission.
When do I get paid?
Earnings show in the app the moment the customer confirms, or automatically 24 hours after delivery. Available balance is paid out weekly to your linked account.
What if the customer isn't there?
Every job carries contingency rules set by the customer: wait, call, leave with a neighbour, or return. Follow them in the app and you're paid either way; failed jobs are reviewed by a human within 24 hours.
Do I need to be verified?
Yes: licence, ID, a selfie and your vehicle. Review takes up to 48 hours and founding drivers go first.
Can I choose which jobs I get?
Set minimum pay, maximum distance to pickup, item sizes, job types and hours. Turn on auto-accept and matching jobs are accepted for you the moment they arrive.
