Deliveroo, Uber, Stuart — who pays what in 2026.
Food and parcel delivery is the closest thing to instant work in 2026. You sign up today, do a short onboarding, and earn the same week. Pay varies wildly by city, time of day, and how clever you are about stacking apps.
These are the platforms British couriers actually use. Each has a different mix of base pay, tips, and busy-hour bonuses — most riders flip between two or three.
