Slow Week? Stay on The Road. Get Cash When Costs Hit.
Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart, or Amazon Flex driver? Apply for $200 to $5,000 based on your driving income and bank account, not a pay stub & without relying on credit scores. Get same-day funding after approval.
*Please note: Approval, amount, cost and timing are set by the lender and shown before you accept.
Because Gig Income Shouldn't Mean Funding Barriers!
Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash drivers face tight margins and weekly-changing income, so a surprise repair or insurance bill can be hard to cover. DriverBoost looks at your real deposits and gig platforms, not a pay stub you don't have, to help you apply for a cash advance.
Flexibility, Right When You Need It Most.
When an expense hits before your next payout, a short advance can keep you moving. Eligible customers can borrow up to $5,000 with no hidden fees or nasty interest rates.
Car repairs
Brakes, tires or a transmission. A car in the shop means no trips and no income.
Gas and maintenance
Fuel spikes and oil changes do not pause when the app is slow.
Insurance and permits
Rideshare or commercial coverage keeps you active on the platform.
Slow weeks
Bad weather, holidays or an algorithm change: bridge the gap until volume returns.
Phone and gear
A mount, dash cam, insulated bag or better phone can help orders and ratings.
Adding a platform
Starting Amazon Flex, Instacart or Shipt can need upfront costs.
The Problem ☹️
Most banks turn gig drivers down because they want pay stubs, regular income, and other corporate paperwork that 1099 drivers don't have, so many drivers never apply, assuming the answer will be no.

Common questions.
What is DriverBoost?
DriverBoost matches independent rideshare and delivery drivers with cash advances. We help you apply for a cash advance from third-party lenders. We are not a lender, and the lender decides approval, amounts, and terms.
Can Uber and Lyft drivers get a cash advance?
Yes. Independent Uber and Lyft drivers can apply for $200 to $5,000, subject to lender approval. Lenders usually look at your gig income and bank activity, not an employer pay stub.
Can DoorDash, Instacart, Amazon Flex, and Shipt drivers apply too?
Yes. Any independent contractor with regular gig income and a U.S. bank account can apply. We have a page for each platform, and we aren't affiliated with any of them.
How much can I borrow?
We offer $200 to $5,000. The amount you're offered depends on your income, bank account history, and the lender's criteria, and it may be lower than you ask for.
How fast will I get the money?
Some decisions are quick, but funding time depends on the lender and your bank. Your offer shows the expected timing before you accept.
Do I need good credit?
Not necessarily. Lenders in our network may focus on your income and bank activity instead of your credit score alone. Approval isn't guaranteed, and weaker credit can mean higher costs.
How much does a cash advance cost?
It varies by lender, amount, and repayment period. You'll see the total repayment amount and all fees before you accept, and you're never obliged to accept.
Is a cash advance the same as a payday loan or bank loan?
No. Terms differ by lender, so read each offer. Banks usually want pay stubs or tax returns, which many 1099 drivers don't have. Compare total cost, repayment schedule, and fees, not just the headline amount.
Who can apply?
You generally need to be 19 or older, a U.S. resident with a U.S. bank account, have regular gig or self-employed income, and be able to afford repayments. Lenders may set extra requirements.
What can I use the money for?
Most drivers use it for car repairs, fuel, insurance, phone or gear, or to cover a slow week. Only borrow what you can repay.
