title: "Introducing Boost+"
description: "Boost+ is an updated promotion for delivery drivers that adds pay to eligible trips during periods and locations of high demand. The promotion applies automatically when a trip’s pickup is in a designated blue zone during listed hours, and the extra amount appears in the fare shown on the trip request. Its calculation uses estimated active time—from accepting the trip through delivery—rather than time spent online waiting; for example, a 30-minute trip at $10 per active hour receives $5 in Boost+ pay. Drivers can find upcoming opportunities in the Discover tab and on the map, view total Boost+ earnings in the trip receipt, and combine the promotion with Quests and other promotions. Availability varies by city, and time beyond the estimated active time does not qualify for Boost+ pay."

**Type:** Announcement

## Summary

Boost+ is an updated promotion for delivery drivers that adds pay to eligible trips during periods and locations of high demand. The promotion applies automatically when a trip’s pickup is in a designated blue zone during listed hours, and the extra amount appears in the fare shown on the trip request. Its calculation uses estimated active time—from accepting the trip through delivery—rather than time spent online waiting; for example, a 30-minute trip at $10 per active hour receives $5 in Boost+ pay. Drivers can find upcoming opportunities in the Discover tab and on the map, view total Boost+ earnings in the trip receipt, and combine the promotion with Quests and other promotions. Availability varies by city, and time beyond the estimated active time does not qualify for Boost+ pay.

## Context

Boost+ is intended to help drivers earn extra during high-demand periods, such as big events, rainy evenings, or busy lunch rushes. Availability depends on when and where demand is high in a city.

## Approach / What changed

Boost+ uses automatic enrollment for trips with pickups in designated zones during listed hours. Extra pay is calculated from estimated active time, shown in the trip request fare, and recorded in the trip receipt.

## Takeaways

- Drivers are automatically included when a trip pickup occurs in a Boost+ zone during the listed hours; no sign-up or opt-in is required.
- Boost+ uses estimated active time from trip acceptance through delivery, excluding time spent online waiting and time beyond the estimate.
- Boost+ applies to eligible pickups inside the zone, stacks with Quests and other promotions, and varies by city.
