For drivers

Earn from your empty boot

Driving to Stockholm this weekend anyway? Take a pre-requested box and earn €50–200. No contracts, no obligations — only the routes you’d drive regardless.

Nordic service · Stripe-secured payment · Weekly payout to your IBAN

Why drive

A side hustle without the side-hustle downsides

Only routes you’d drive anyway

You don’t take detours — you carry along your existing trips. Zero wasted kilometres.

€50–200 per delivery

Typical earnings depend on route length and item size. Short city: €30–80. Long Stockholm–Gothenburg: €150–250.

No obligations

You only accept requests that fit. No shifts, no minimum hours, no waiting in a queue.

Weekly payout on Fridays

Last week’s earnings on your account every Friday. Stripe handles it, you receive directly to your IBAN.

Before you start

Have these ready

Most drivers open their account in under 5 minutes. Grab these before you start.

ID document

Driving licence, passport or national ID card. You’ll need to photograph it — front and back. Blurry photo → retake. Try good lighting.

Bank account (IBAN)

Nordic IBAN, e.g. SE45 5000 0000 0583 9825 7466. You need ownership of the account — joint accounts work if you’re the primary owner.

Home address

Same as your official record. Stripe is required by law to verify your identity to this address.

Nordic mobile number

Mobile (not landline) — Stripe sends a 6-digit confirmation code via SMS.

National ID number

Required for tax reporting. Stored on Stripe’s servers, not visible to Rubber Wheels.

What happens during Stripe verification

5 steps — under 5 minutes total

Stripe is a global payment infrastructure (PCI DSS Level 1 certified, used by Apple, Amazon and many banks). Rubber Wheels Oy never handles your card or bank details — Stripe does.

A day as a driver

How one delivery actually unfolds

Example: you’re driving from Stockholm to Gothenburg on Friday afternoon. You told the app your route in advance.

Thursday 9:30 PM — Request notification

Push notification: ”New request on your route: Stockholm → Gothenburg, 1 m³ box, 12 kg, Friday 2–5 PM.” You tap to open.

Thursday 9:31 PM — Bid a price

You see request details: pickup, drop-off, what’s being shipped, when. You bid a price, e.g. €75. The sender sees your bid.

Thursday 10:15 PM — You won the request

Notification: ”Anna accepted your bid.” Stripe holds €75 from the sender’s card in escrow — money is safe but not yet yours.

Friday 1:50 PM — Heading to pickup

App suggests optimal time and navigates to the door. Anna sees your location in real time.

Friday 2:08 PM — Pickup + photo proof

Anna hands over the box. You photograph it in your boot — proof of condition at pickup.

Friday 2:30–4:45 PM — Drive to Gothenburg

You’d drive this anyway. Sender follows on the map — no ”where are you?” texts needed.

Friday 4:50 PM — Drop-off + photo

Door open in Gothenburg. Second photo — item delivered intact. Recipient confirms in app.

Following Friday — Payout

€75 − 15% service fee = €63.75 transfers via Stripe to your IBAN. One transaction, all of last week’s earnings on Friday.

Earnings model

Taxes are your responsibility — delivery fees are taxable income. We recommend checking your local tax office’s earnings limits. Stripe sends you an annual earnings summary.

Frequently asked

Driver questions answered

Do I need a business registration or VAT number?
Not at first. Delivery fees are taxable income even without a business registration. If your earnings exceed your local threshold (~€12,000/year in Finland), consider a light business form — you can deduct more expenses.
What kind of car can I drive?
Sedan, station wagon, van, or a trailer behind a passenger car. You declare what you can carry (volume, weight, dimensions) — the system matches suitable requests to you.
What if an item is damaged in transit?
Rubber Wheels does not currently offer separate transport insurance. You’re responsible with professional care. We recommend checking your auto insurance and considering separate transport insurance for high volumes. Photo proof at pickup and drop-off protects both parties.
Can I refuse a request?
Always. You only accept requests that fit your route and timing. Refusing doesn’t lower your trust level — only cancelling after acceptance does.
How is my Stripe account different from my bank account?
Stripe is an interim account where earnings accumulate between delivery and payout (~7 days). Every Friday Stripe transfers the full week’s earnings to your IBAN. You don’t have to log into Stripe.com — everything’s visible in the Rubber Wheels app.
How soon do I get my first delivery after Stripe verification?
Right away. Activation takes hours to days depending on traffic in your area. Tip: declare your routes in advance (e.g. ”I drive to Gothenburg on Fridays”) — matching requests find you faster.
What if Stripe requests additional information later?
Stripe may, every 6–12 months, request a fresh ID photo or additional documents (legal requirement). You’ll get a notification by email and on the app’s home screen. Your payouts continue normally for 30 days — after that Stripe holds payouts until verification is complete.
Can I deliver to other Nordic countries?
Yes. Rubber Wheels operates across all Nordics. Cross-border requests are shown separately — they often involve VAT considerations, and our support guides you through it.
