Overview

Apply to Picup. Picup delivers Pick n Pay asap! orders, and its drivers have a Pick n Pay asap! procedure for failed collections and returns. That is the one confirmed route to asap! work.

Pick n Pay itself publishes nothing for drivers: no application, no requirements, no minimum age, no vehicle rule and no city list. So there is no Pick n Pay checklist on this page, and there is nothing to apply to at Pick n Pay.

Start here

Picup takes registrations in its own Android app. You need a vehicle, a driving licence, third party insurance and a DEKRA vehicle assessment you pay for. Picup publishes its rates, so you can work out what a trip pays before you start.

Picup does not say it handles every asap! store, so applying gets you Picup work rather than guaranteed asap! work.

The other Pick n Pay route

Pick n Pay also sells groceries through Mr D. For those orders, apply on Mr D's own driver page. TFS On-Demand says its network delivers for Mr D and other brands too. Neither says that applying gets you Pick n Pay work.

On pay

Pick n Pay says nothing about pay. One asap! driver told BusinessTech that drivers bring their own vehicle and pay their own fuel and data. That is one person, not a rate.

Picup's published rates are on its own page.

One warning

Nobody can sign you up as a Pick n Pay asap! driver over WhatsApp, because Pick n Pay does not sign up drivers. Do not pay anyone who says otherwise.

Foreign documents

We do not give immigration or legal advice. This page describes what each company lists at onboarding. A company accepting your document is not the same as being allowed to work in South Africa, and neither one proves the other. Check with the company, and with the Department of Home Affairs about your own status.

Questions people ask

How do I apply to drive for Pick n Pay asap!?
Apply to Picup. Picup delivers asap! orders and takes registrations in its own app. Pick n Pay itself lists no driver application on any page we read, so there is nothing to apply to there.
Is Pick n Pay asap! the same as Mr D?
No, they are two routes. asap! is Pick n Pay's own service and Picup delivers for it. Pick n Pay also sells groceries through Mr D, which is a separate app with its own driver application.
What does Pick n Pay asap! pay?
Pick n Pay says nothing about driver pay. Picup, which delivers asap! orders, publishes a full rate card, and that is on the Picup page. A BusinessTech interview with one driver described their own costs, which is not what you would earn.
