Dash Along the Way helps you make the most of your time on the road by allowing you to deliver orders on your way to a nearby zone. So, the next time you're headed to another zone, you can simply Dash Along the Way to deliver orders and earn money along your route.
How it works
When traveling to another zone
If you want to dash in a zone you aren’t currently located in, select it on the map and tap “Dash Along the Way” before you start dashing to hold your spot.
We’ll look for orders along the way or as soon as you arrive.
If you are given an order along the way and accept the delivery, once you’ve completed the delivery you’ll continue on your route to dash in the zone selected.
When heading back to your starting point
If you are taken outside the zone of your starting point after completing a delivery, start heading back to your starting point. The app will automatically look for orders along your route back.
