About GigWorkerHQ

GigWorkerHQ is a resource for delivery drivers, rideshare drivers, and independent contractors who need clear, actionable information about insurance, health coverage, and finances — without the jargon.

If you drive for DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, Amazon Flex, or any other gig platform, your situation is different from a traditional employee. You're responsible for your own coverage, your own taxes, and your own financial safety net. This site exists to help you navigate that.

Alex Marcel

Alex Marcel has driven for DoorDash, Grubhub, and other gig platforms. He started GigWorkerHQ because the information that actually helps gig workers — on insurance gaps, quarterly taxes, mileage deductions, and health coverage — was either buried in forums or written for people with HR departments. This site is the resource he wished existed when he started driving.
