Can I use my partner's car for Amazon Flex or Evri?
Yes, you can use a car registered to your partner for Amazon Flex or Evri, but you must be correctly insured and approved by the platform.
Last checked 17/10/2026.
Yes, you can use a car registered in your partner's name for Amazon Flex or Evri. The app checks your driving licence and insurance documents rather than the V5C logbook. However, getting the correct insurance cover for a vehicle that is not registered in your name requires careful attention.
Insurance requirements
You need standard social, domestic and pleasure cover, regular commuting cover, and hire and reward insurance to deliver parcels. If your partner owns the car, you usually need to be listed as a named driver on their main annual policy, or you must check that your top up hire and reward policy allows you to drive cars owned by other people.
Platform checks
- Amazon Flex requires you to upload your valid UK driving licence and your hire and reward insurance certificate.
- Evri requires proof of insurance when you onboard as a courier.
- Neither platform strictly requires the V5C logbook to be in your personal name, but the insurance policy must match the driver.
