How it works

Applying to drive with Zoomy

You choose the kinds of work you want, apply in Zoomy Driver, and complete the requirements the app shows for the work you chose. Zoomy reviews each kind of work separately.

This page explains what applying involves. Reading it doesn’t start an application, and it doesn’t mean you’re approved or that work is waiting.

Here’s what applying involves

Five parts, at your own pace, in the Zoomy Driver app. You choose the kinds of work you want first, and the app shows what each one currently asks for.

The journey, end to end

Applying is not one long form. A simple way to understand the application journey is in five parts. You can stop and come back to your application later. Zoomy Driver shows the next action available to you when you return.

  1. Choose where and how you want to work

    Your area, and the kinds of work you’re interested in. You can choose more than one, and you can change your mind later.

  2. Apply in Zoomy Driver

    Applying happens in the app, not on this website. Getting the app is the step before an application, not the application itself.

  3. Complete the requirements shown for the work you chose

    Zoomy Driver shows the current requirements for your area and for each kind of work you chose. They can differ between them.

  4. Track what’s done, what needs you, and what’s being reviewed

    Your application stays in one place, with one clear next action. What you’ve finished stays visible.

  5. See where each kind of work stands

    Zoomy reviews the kinds of work you applied for separately, so they can reach different points at different times.

And then, briefly

After approval, there can be separate readiness steps. Being approved for a kind of work isn’t the same as being ready to work.

Then you can explore opportunities. Zoomy Driver can show opportunities you may be eligible to request.

There is no twelve-step form to get through in one sitting. Zoomy Driver shows you one clear next action at a time, and keeps the rest organised until you come back.

Your application stays organized

Everything to do with your application sits in one place in Zoomy Driver, sorted by whether it needs you. Three groups, and one next action.

  1. To do

    The things that need you before a kind of work can be reviewed.

  2. Optional ways to unlock more work

    Things you don’t have to do, which may open up more kinds of work if you do.

  3. Completed

    What you’ve already finished. It stays visible instead of disappearing.

And one clear next action

Whatever else is on the list, Zoomy Driver puts the single most useful thing you could do next at the top.

Requirements can vary by area and kind of work, and they can change. Zoomy Driver shows the current ones when you apply.

When something is being reviewed

Some of what you finish then has to be looked at. When that happens it leaves your to-do list, so the list only ever holds things that need you.

It isn’t unfinished work

Something being reviewed shows as being reviewed, not as something you still have to do. There’s nothing to complete while it’s there.

You can keep going

While something is being reviewed, you can keep working on other steps that are currently available to you.

If a check requires a payment

Zoomy Driver shows the current amount and what it covers before you pay anything. Paying means the check can start. It doesn’t mean it has passed.

We don’t publish how long a review takes. Zoomy Driver shows where each kind of work you applied for currently stands.

Some kinds of work may be approved before others

There is no single “approved” switch. Zoomy reviews each kind of work you applied for on its own, so they can sit at different points at the same time.

Example · three kinds of work, one application
  • Delivery workEverything this one asked for is done and reviewed.Approved
  • Moving workWith Zoomy. Nothing for you to do on this one right now.Being reviewed
  • Junk removal workThis one asks for something the others didn’t.Needs something from you

If a requirement is missing or has expired, it affects the kinds of work that depend on it, not everything you applied for.

Changing the types of work you’re interested in does not reset unrelated completed requirements. If something later expires, changes or needs renewal, Zoomy Driver shows it.

After a kind of work is approved

Approval for a type of work closes the application-review part for that work, but separate readiness steps can still remain.

There can be readiness steps

Being approved for a kind of work isn’t the same as being ready to work. Zoomy Driver shows anything else that’s needed. Payout setup comes after approval, and isn’t part of applying.

Then you can look at opportunities

Zoomy Driver can show opportunities you may be eligible to request. You request the role you want, and the app shows whether it becomes assigned work.

Questions people ask

Do I have to finish my application in one go?

No. You can stop and come back to your application later. Zoomy Driver shows the next action available to you when you return.

What happens once I’ve done everything on my list?

Zoomy reviews the kinds of work you applied for separately, and Zoomy Driver shows where each one stands. Some may be approved before others.

How long does a review take?

We don’t publish a review time. Zoomy Driver shows the current status of each kind of work you applied for.

If I change the kinds of work I’m interested in, do I start over?

Changing the types of work you’re interested in does not reset unrelated completed requirements. If something later expires, changes or needs renewal, Zoomy Driver shows it.

Do completed items disappear?

No. They stay visible in your application so you can see what you’ve done, not just what’s left.

What will I actually be asked for?

It depends on your area and the kinds of work you choose. The categories are identity; screening or checks, when required; vehicle, equipment and documents, when required; and skills or training, when required. Zoomy Driver shows the current requirements when you apply.

Does applying mean there’s work waiting for me?

No. Zoomy doesn’t guarantee work, hours or earnings. Zoomy Driver shows the current application options for your area, and opportunities you may be eligible to request.

Start when you’re ready

Choose the kinds of work you’re interested in, and complete what Zoomy Driver shows for them. You don’t have to do it all at once.
