The short answer
LOMIDRIVER matches checked Drivers with Deliveroo account holders who need a substitute rider. You don't have to join Deliveroo's waiting list: apply, get checked and get matched.
For Drivers
- Browse live Deliveroo accounts on the LOMIDRIVER board for free and apply for the area you want to work in.
- Upload your ID and right-to-work documents. Every Driver is checked manually before any match.
- Once matched, pay the £60 connection fee within 24 hours. Contact details are only exchanged after payment.
- Start working as a substitute on an account that is already active, with no platform waiting list.
For account holders
- List your Deliveroo account for free and say which area and vehicle type you need a substitute for.
- We send you a Driver whose documents have already been checked.
- Pay the £20 account holder fee when matched. You stay responsible for meeting the platform's substitution rules.
- Only one active match per account holder at a time, so each arrangement gets proper attention.
Key questions
Does Deliveroo allow substitutes?
Deliveroo's rider agreement lets riders use a substitute, but the account holder stays responsible for the substitute. The substitute must have the right to work in the UK and meet Deliveroo's current requirements. Always check Deliveroo's latest rider terms.
How do I avoid Deliveroo account scams?
Most scams happen in informal Facebook and WhatsApp groups: upfront "deposits", fake screenshots and accounts that do not exist. On LOMIDRIVER both sides are checked before a match, nobody pays anything until a match is confirmed, and contact details are only shared after the connection fee is paid. Never send money to a stranger before you have spoken to the account holder.
What is a safer alternative to Facebook groups for Deliveroo substitute work?
A structured matching service. LOMIDRIVER checks documents, publishes live account numbers, keeps a record of every match and removes account holders who repeatedly fail their obligations. Facebook groups offer none of these protections.
What happens if the Deliveroo account holder does not pay me?
Weekly pay terms are agreed between the Driver and the account holder. Our terms set minimum standards. If an account holder fails to pay, report it through the contact chatbot straight away. Account holders who fail their obligations three times are permanently removed from the platform.
How do I know a Deliveroo account holder is genuine?
Account holders must list a real, active account and provide their details before it is published. Listings that are matched or rejected are taken off the public board, so what you see is current.
