Why join Yodel

• Competitive rates for each parcel you deliver or collect: Typically, our Delivery Drivers can earn anything between £18 - £20p/h (paid per parcel).
• Daily & Weekly Payment Options: Yodel offer flexible payment options to all Self Employed delivery drivers, giving you the option to access earnings from the very next day via an app provided by our early access partner, Onsi, or the weekly payment cycle scheme which starts after 4 weeks of completed deliveries.
• We have plenty of parcels to deliver: There are plenty of parcels to deliver meaning the earning opportunity is in your hands. Parcels weigh up to 15kg and vary in size. You can realistically deliver and collect between 16-25 parcels an hour depending on area and experience, for 6 days a week.
