How much a delivery driver earns in Jeddah: per delivery or a monthly salary
What makes up a delivery driver's income in Jeddah: pay per delivery against a monthly salary, the commission by vehicle, your own costs, and when the money reaches you.
The honest answer to "how much does a delivery driver earn" is that it depends on three things: how you are paid, how many hours you work, and what you drive. This guide shows how each of them works, with the figures and the commission BeePlus states, so you can work out your own income instead of guessing.

Two ways to be paid
A monthly salary. You work for a delivery company. The amount is the same every month and the shifts are fixed. A busy day and a quiet day pay the same.
Pay per delivery. You work through an app with your own vehicle. Each completed delivery adds to your income. You choose the hours, and a day you do not work is a day without income.
Neither is better for everyone. A salary suits someone who needs the same amount every month. Pay per delivery suits someone who wants to choose the hours, or to earn on top of a job or studies.
With BeePlus the pay is per delivery. There is no monthly salary.
The figures BeePlus gives
From SAR 20 per delivery.
SAR 100–200 a day is what drivers usually make.
These are typical figures, not a promise. The amount differs from driver to driver: it depends on how much you work and on the kind of vehicle you drive.
A simple way to read them: if every delivery paid only SAR 20, a day of SAR 100–200 would take five to ten deliveries. The day's total depends on how many orders you take and what kind they are.
What changes your income
The hours you work. Orders come while you are online. Two hours in the evening and a full day will not give the same result. How to fit a few hours around a job is in Part-time delivery driver in Jeddah.
Your vehicle. A customer chooses a car, a pickup or a truck by what they are sending. Moving furniture in a truck pays differently from carrying a parcel in a car, and the commission is different too. What furniture orders ask of a driver is in Own a pickup or a truck in Jeddah?
The orders you take. Before you accept an order, the app shows its details and what you will earn from it. You can accept or decline.
The commission
The commission is the part of the delivery fee that BeePlus keeps. It is stated in advance:
The first three months: 0%.
After that, by vehicle: motorbike 10%, car 15%, pickup 20%, truck 25%.
Put the other way round:
in the first three months you keep the whole delivery fee with any vehicle;
after that you keep 90% with a motorbike, 85% with a car, 80% with a pickup and 75% with a truck.
Right now, while customers pay drivers in cash, BeePlus takes no commission at all.
Loading time is charged to the customer separately, so the time you spend carrying is paid.
Your own costs
You work with your own vehicle, so work out what it costs you before you compare with a salary:
Fuel. The more you drive, the more you spend.
Upkeep. Tires, oil, repairs.
Mobile internet. Every order comes through the app.
What is left after these is your real income.
When the money reaches you
For now the customer pays you in cash when the job is done. BeePlus is connecting payment inside the app: once it works, what you earn will arrive in the app after each delivery, and you will be able to withdraw it to your card.
The app keeps the record for you: your income by day and by order, and your results for the week. Your history is open at any hour.
How to estimate your own month
Decide how much you will work: which days and how many hours.
Work the first two weeks and look at the history in the app. It shows what you really made on each day.
Divide by the hours you were online. That is your income per hour, with your vehicle, in your part of the city.
Multiply by the hours you plan for the month.
Take away fuel and upkeep.
From the fourth month, take away the commission for your vehicle.
The first three months without commission are a good time to learn which hours work best for you.
