What is a Favor Runner?

Runners are like personal delivery assistants that use the Favor platform to order, pick up, and deliver almost anything their customers want! As independent contractors, Favor Runners can choose when, where, and how often they work. With over 50,000 Runners across Texas, we have an active community of Texans who are proud to help other Texans!

What do you pay?

Favor Runners earn 35% of the delivery fee and 100% of all tips. We also offer hourly guarantees of $9-10 per hour as incentives for Runners who choose to schedule themselves ahead of time, but most Runners earn far more, with busy areas and peak times averaging closer to $12-18 per hour. You can learn more about guarantees and tips and tricks to earn more in orientation.

*Hourly earnings may vary based on delivery volume, customer demand, time of day, location, and other variables. Stated hourly earnings are based on average earnings per active Runner hour in the stated market and should not be considered a guarantee or expectation of actual earnings while delivering on the Favor platform. Earnings in specific neighborhoods may differ from the stated hourly earnings for the stated market. Actual earnings include factors such as customer tips and individual promos, which are unique to each Runner; therefore, you may make more or less than the average for any given market.

Can I make my own schedule?

Yes! One of the best parts about being a Favor Runner is the flexibility. As an independent contractor, you are in control of when, where, and how often you want to work. There are no minimum or maximum number of hours you must work.

Do I need money to get started?

No! You don’t need any money to be a Favor Runner; you will be issued a Runner Card to cover the cost of all items you deliver. Optional Runner Gear is available for purchase, but not required.

Does Favor offer car insurance?

Yes! Runners are automatically covered with third-party liability and contingent collision coverage while running an active Favor. There’s no signup required and it is 100% free for Runners. Learn more about Runner Auto Insurance here: https://favordelivery.com/runnerautoinsurance

Do you provide vehicles or gas?

As an independent contractor, you are responsible for your costs — including your vehicle and gas. However, we do make certain optional Runner Perks available, such as three months of Everlance Premium expense tracking software for free or discount rates at Jiffy Lube.  Once you are activated as a Runner you will be notified about available Runner Perks via email.
