Weekend driver/courier (part-time) | Ottawa, ON

Job Summary: Uber Driver / Delivery Person – Ottawa, ON

Uber is seeking independent and self-motivated individuals in Ottawa to join its global platform as Drivers or Delivery Persons. This role offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing you to earn on your own terms—whether you are looking for weekend work, early morning shifts, or a full-time alternative to traditional employment. As an Independent Contractor, you have the power to sync your work with your lifestyle, helping riders reach key destinations like Via Rail or delivering from popular local merchants such as Starbucks and Subway.

Requirements vary by how you choose to move. To conduct ridesharing, you must be at least 21 years old, meet local driving experience minimums, and pass a background screening. For deliveries by car, the minimum age is 19, while those delivering by bike or foot can start as early as 18 (depending on provincial regulations). All candidates must provide valid documentation, including a driver’s licence, proof of work eligibility in Canada, and vehicle insurance/registration if applicable.

Uber provides a seamless “on-call” earning experience through its technology-driven platform. You can utilize your own vehicle—provided it meets safety inspection standards—or explore rental options through authorized third-party providers. With the ability to start earning in just three steps (sign up, get cleared, and activate), this is a premier opportunity for those seeking a dynamic role in the mobility and logistics sector.
