Thinking about signing up with GoShare, but not sure whether your vehicle is the right fit for our platform? Read the following guide to learn more about vehicle qualifications to accept projects on the GoShare platform.
Vehicle Type
GoShare has projects for a wide variety of vehicles, from passenger cars to trucks and cargo vans. See our vehicle types below to learn more about the projects you will be eligible for:
Sedan
Any vehicle that doesn’t fit into one of the other categories below is considered a sedan vehicle on our platform. Sedans are eligible to deliver small parcels, packages, and documents. Drivers of sedans may also act as a helper on a project that requires multiple delivery pros. As a helper, they will assist with loading and unloading. They will not carry cargo. Projects intended for trucks and cargo vans are generally too large for sedans.
SUVs
The SUV vehicle type includes larger vehicles that are not a full sized truck or cargo van. This includes vehicles such as SUVS, minivans, and compact cargo vans. These vehicles are eligible to deliver larger parcels and packages. Drivers of the SUV vehicle type may also act as a helper on a project that requires multiple delivery pros. As a helper, they will assist with loading and unloading. They will not carry cargo. Unfortunately, we don’t currently have an option for SUVs + trailers.
Pickup Trucks
Pickup trucks should have a bed length of at least 5 feet. Trucks with shortened bed lengths, or modifications that shorten their bed lengths or widths, may not qualify for the “pickup truck” classification on the GoShare platform. This includes, but is not limited to, the Honda Ridgeline Gen1 models (before 2017) and Chevrolet Avalanche (all models). You may be asked to provide measurements of your vehicle bed if you have modifications, such as a permanent toolbox, that change the length of the vehicle. Any standard trucks that don’t meet the 5 ft. requirement are still eligible to join the platform as sedans or SUVs (see above).
Cargo Vans
Full-size cargo vans are dedicated moving and delivery vehicles with no passenger seats behind the driver cab. Minivans, SUVs, passenger vans, and compact cargo vans do not have enough cargo space to accept GoShare cargo van projects. Compact cargo vans that do not qualify for the “Cargo Van” classification may include but are not limited to:
- Ford Transit Connect
- Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo
- Ram ProMaster City
- Mercedes-Benz Metris
- Chevy City Express
If you drive one of the vehicles mentioned above, you may still sign up to work for GoShare. You will be able to accept SUV projects and assist as a loading/unloading helper on 2 person projects.
Box Trucks
GoShare accepts a range of box trucks on the platform, commonly between 12 and 26 feet. Tractor-trailers are not currently accepted on the platform. If you have a box truck that is less than 12 ft, you may sign up under the Cargo Van vehicle type.
Vehicle Restrictions
Read below to learn if there are any restrictions that might prevent you from joining the GoShare platform.
After-Market Accessories
Most after-market accessories will not disqualify your vehicle from the GoShare platform. However, if modifications to your vehicle impact cargo space or shorten bed-length, you may be asked to reclassify your account to that of a sedan or SUV.
If you have a hard cap installed on your pickup truck, you may still sign up for the GoShare platform. Please read project descriptions carefully and do not accept any projects that would not fit in your truck bed.
Vehicle Age
Vehicles must have a model year of 2002 or newer. This is an insurance requirement and we are not able to make exceptions, even for excellently maintained vehicles.
Rentals
GoShare allows rental cargo vans and box trucks on its platform if the rental agreement is for a period of at least 30 days. If your rental period is for 30 days or more, then you can sign up with that vehicle.
Salvage Titles
Unfortunately, GoShare is not able to accept any vehicle with a rebuilt or salvage title.
Vehicle Verification
Whether you are signing up as a driver or a helper, your vehicle must still be verified in order to get your account activated on the GoShare platform. You will be asked to provide clear images of the front, back, and sides of the vehicle. You must also provide proof of insurance and registration.
Registration and Insurance
The vehicle should be registered and insured within the state you wish to accept projects in. This documentation will be verified during your sign up process. If the vehicle is registered under another name, you may still use it with permission from the owner. Our driver onboarding team may request a letter from the owner verifying that you have their permission to use the vehicle on GoShare’s platform.
