How do I update my vehicle type on Deliveroo without losing my account?
Update your vehicle type on Deliveroo safely by submitting your new insurance and licence details through rider support before you start working.
Last checked 17/10/2026.
You can update your vehicle type on Deliveroo by contacting rider support through the app and providing the correct documents for your new mode of transport. Never just start delivering with a different vehicle without telling them, because automated checks or customer reports can flag your account for mismatching details and lead to a permanent block.
Steps to change your vehicle
- Gather your new documents, such as your driving licence, MOT, and correct hire and reward insurance certificate if you are moving to a car or scooter.
- Open the Rider Hub in your app and select help or contact support.
- Raise a request to change your vehicle profile, explaining what you are switching to and why.
- Upload clear photos of your new documents when the support team asks for them.
- Wait for confirmation through the app that your profile has been updated before you log on with the new vehicle.
