How to Add a New Dash Type or Switch Between Dash Types
Dash types are different types of transportation methods a Dasher can select to dash. DoorDash tries to find the most suitable order types depending on your dash type. In most markets, you’ll get the most orders if you dash with a car. In other markets that are more difficult to get around in a car, you might find certain areas are more favorable to dash with a bike instead.
