San Francisco-based DoorDash has launched an emergency relief program aimed at offsetting rising gasoline costs for its delivery drivers, known as Dashers.

The program, which runs through April 26, 2026, includes cash-back incentives and weekly payments.

Dashers who use a DoorDash Crimson Visa debit card for fuel purchases will receive 10% cash back on qualifying transactions at U.S. gas stations, regardless of whether they are actively delivering. In addition, Dashers who drive 125 miles or more per week on deliveries will receive weekly fuel relief payments ranging from $5 to $15.

Drivers eligible for both benefits could save an estimated $1.40 to $1.90 per gallon, depending on mileage. Gas rewards are capped at $700 per month.

"Rising gas prices have a real impact on Dashers, especially those who are delivering the most," said Cody Aughney, vice president of Dasher and logistics at DoorDash, in a press release. "This program is about giving Dashers real savings at the pump."
