Earning Money in Romania with Uber, Bolt, and Food Delivery – The Real Process

There are many people who want to earn money in Romania by working on passenger transport platforms such as Uber or Bolt, or by delivering food through applications like Glovo and Bolt Food. Especially for foreigners living in Romania, these jobs can offer a practical and sustainable income model when the correct steps are followed.

How Does Passenger Transport with Uber / Bolt Start?

If you are a foreigner in Romania and you have a Category B driving license and a valid work permit, it is possible to work with Uber or Bolt. However, there is an important detail that many people are not aware of: you cannot work directly with Uber or Bolt using a driving license issued in Turkey or another country. First, your driving license must be converted to a Romanian driving license.

The license conversion process may seem complicated in terms of documentation, application steps, and costs. For this reason, we strongly recommend contacting us at this stage. We provide detailed information about the process, fees, and required documents, and guide you through the application correctly.

After the license conversion is completed, the second important step is the exam process. This exam is prepared according to Romanian traffic laws and is designed to measure the knowledge level of individuals suitable for passenger transport. The exam is conducted in Romanian. We also provide support with exam registration, preparation, and all necessary guidance.

Once you successfully pass the exam, you can proceed with Uber or Bolt registration. At this stage, you have two options:
You can use your own vehicle (provided that it meets Uber/Bolt’s technical and model requirements), or you can rent a vehicle from local rental companies. We also offer consulting on which option is more suitable for you.

After the vehicle and driver information is registered in the system, your Uber/Bolt account is activated. From this point on, you can choose to be active or inactive whenever you wish. In other words, you can do this job full-time or use it as an additional source of income.

Does Food Delivery with Glovo / Bolt Food Really Pay Off?

Currently, there is a serious shortage of couriers in the food delivery sector in Bucharest. For this reason, major platforms prefer working with couriers through fleet systems rather than individual contracts. For those considering this job, it is important to say this clearly: working with a bicycle or motorcycle is both more enjoyable and far more practical compared to working with a car.

In Bucharest traffic, picking up packages by car, finding parking, and making deliveries often becomes very difficult. Therefore, for those who want to earn regularly without excessive fatigue, a motorcycle is by far the best option. For car-based delivery, a different business model is expected to be introduced soon. In this model, instead of delivering food to customers, goods will be transported directly to restaurants and businesses. This will be a very good logistics opportunity, especially for vehicle owners. We will share the details very soon.

The registration process for food delivery is quite simple. The basic rules are the same whether you want to work with a bicycle, motorcycle, or car. Generally, an ID card and CNP are sufficient for registration. If you want to do this as an additional source of income, you must state that you wish to work part-time, and part-time insurance will be arranged accordingly. For those who want to work full-time with a contract, a different procedure applies, so it is important to clearly state this during the application.

Once the required identity information is entered into the platform, approval is usually granted within 2–3 business days. As soon as approval is received, you can start working. To work, you need a vehicle that you own or rent, and a delivery bag is mandatory. The delivery bag is provided by us.

During deliveries, every package must be placed inside the delivery bag. The platform defines specific time limits for each delivery. Failure to comply with these time limits may result in penalties imposed by the system. These penalties can sometimes be financial fines, or in some cases temporary or permanent account suspension. Of course, in the event of accidents, delays, or other unfortunate situations, it is possible to report the issue through the platform’s customer support and seek a resolution.

Final Words

Earning money in Romania through Uber, Bolt, Glovo, or Bolt Food is a very reasonable business model when supported by correct information and proper guidance. However, incorrect steps can lead to both time and financial losses. Therefore, planning the entire process correctly from the beginning is essential.
