DoorDash rolls out emergency relief program as surging pump prices hit gig workers

By Nicole Jao

NEW YORK, March 23 (Reuters) - Food delivery company DoorDash DASH.O said on Monday it is launching an emergency relief program to help U.S. gig workers offset rising fuel costs.

The move comes as U.S. gig workers grapple with surging gasoline prices, driven by higher crude oil prices due to supply disruptions stemming from the Middle East war. National average retail gasoline prices have climbed more than 30% over the past month to nearly $4 a gallon.

Under the program, delivery drivers who log at least 125 miles a week on DoorDash orders will receive a weekly fuel relief payment. Payments start at $5 and rise to a maximum of $15, depending on miles driven.

The program, which will run through April 26, 2026, could allow eligible drivers to save up to $1.90 per gallon each week, the company said.
