iFood, a Brazilian technology company, and Mottu, the country’s largest motorcycle rental platform, announce a partnership to expand benefits for delivery drivers in Brazil. The initiative reduces barriers and enables more people to access motorcycles for delivery work, including those with financial issues. The collaboration offers exclusive advantages for those who deliver through iFood and already rent their vehicle with Mottu or wish to start a rental, focusing on increased earnings, reduced costs, and more daily support.
Starting in September, delivery drivers across the country will have access to extra earnings, easier access to economical vehicles with IPVA included, support in case of theft, and more convenience. Among the main benefits are:
- Increased earnings– Professionals who rent motorcycles through Mottu and work with iFood can boost their income with exclusive benefits. For each completed challenge, which involves completing a specific number of deliveries within certain periods, the driver can earn up to R$350 extra per month. Additionally, those who maintain a high occupancy rate can receive up to 10% back in Mottu Cash, a credit converted from the rental payment that can be used for expenses. In practice, this means more revenue per delivery and higher daily earning potential.
- Discounts– New drivers with both companies will have easier access to economical motorcycles, with up to 20% discount on the deposit and special conditions to start or renew the rental contract.
- Convenience– Some Mottu workshops are in the testing phase to serve as support points for delivery drivers. They already offer maintenance services for Mottu motorcycles and rest areas.
- Savings– Mottu’s plans ensure cost predictability and can generate significant fuel savings (60 km/l, almost double the average of conventional motorcycles). The model, with daily rates starting at R$19, is already competitive compared to other daily costs, offering more predictability to the driver and ensuring higher net earnings.
To access the benefits, drivers must be over 18 years old, registered on both apps, and have a valid National Driver’s License (CNH) category A. The process can be completed entirely online. Additionally, the companies are considering implementing a simplified registration process for those who want to join both platforms.
“Our priority is to support those who are on the streets every day. That’s why this partnership seeks to offer practical solutions that help delivery drivers gain more autonomy and better earnings easily,” says Johnny Borges, Director of Social Impact at iFood.
Rubens Zanelatto, CEO of Mottu, adds: “At Mottu, anyone who wants to get a motorcycle finds an accessible and bureaucracy-free path. With the partnership with iFood, in addition to easier access to the most economical motorcycles on the market, delivery drivers gain special conditions and extra earnings, making this the best option for those who want to work in delivery.”
The program is exclusive to active iFood delivery drivers and Mottu renters, reinforcing the platforms’ position as the best options for those who want to work in delivery in Brazil. Today, iFood has around 450,000 active drivers in over 1,500 cities and continues to expand its investments in solutions that offer unique advantages for those who work with the company.
The partnership strengthens iFood’s logistical reach and solidifies Mottu as a strategic partner in providing more economical vehicles and technical support to delivery drivers. The vehicles available at Mottu stores offer IPVA exemption, licensing, theft support, third-party damage coverage, and 24-hour assistance.
The partnership with Mottu further strengthens iFood’s benefits package, which has been consistently expanded to support platform drivers in various ways. The initiative complements iFood Super—a program that rewards the most engaged professionals with financial benefits. These actions reinforce iFood’s commitment to continuously valuing delivery drivers, promoting mobility, savings, technical support, and more opportunities for those on the streets every day.
Partnerships
iFood has advanced its partnership agenda with companies that share the same culture of innovation and technology and offer solutions for different parts of the ecosystem, focusing on generating value for delivery drivers, merchants, and consumers.
Already in the pilot phase, the initiative is expected to involve over 5,000 motorcyclists, with close monitoring of earnings and savings generated. Currently, Mottu has over 130,000 rental motorcycles eligible to participate in the partnership with iFood, along with a network of 146 physical locations across more than 120 Brazilian cities.
“Our goal is to establish partnerships that increasingly strengthen our value proposition, with consistent solutions for partner establishments, consumers, and delivery drivers. We understand that the benefit is never just for the directly affected audience—it reflects across the entire ecosystem. And that’s iFood’s vision when bringing closer companies that are transforming their fields, like Mottu,” says Thiago Viana, iFood’s Senior Director of Innovation.
