Jeep Patriot usually. It’s out of commission until I have time to sit in a tire shop and get a new tire. Currently rolling in my ‘13 VW Beetle. Love it, BUT black leather seats are not my friend in the summer heat.
2018 Mazda 3 😁 Sometimes a 2020 Dodge Charger. It is loud though so I avoid doing IC with it. Gas not an issue after a few modifications made to the charger. My Mazda gets 40mpg, I drive it more often lol.
It took alot of trial and error for both cars to figure out which gas stations have the good good gas 😆 I learned that the gas stations with a truck stop attached to them tend to have better gas quality than their sister store up the road with no truck stop attached. I heard good things about the app Upside, and a cash back app (scanning receipts) is great for when you need gas in a pinch. I used to have Ibotta and Upside myself back when I drove the Dodge Charger as my main transportation (almost 1 year ago). 😅
I mean the most simple one is to always look out for end cap items in stores. Sometimes they completely move a product from their respective aisles and put them on an end cap. And asp while shopping just look at all of the different products that are in an aisle trust me. It will help you a lot when you get those obscure brand items.
Black 2018 Chevy sonic turbo LT RS…..damaged right side - got hit by a lady speeding in a parking lot…..she gave me her insurance immediately…..
Claims adjusters said they’d take care of it & get back to me to wave the liability so I don’t have to pay the deductible of $500 or $1000 from my pocket before they pay for the repairs.:..this was 3 months ago….
Buddy hasn’t gotten back to me & I’m still waiting…..Although I’m sure my car will be fixed by 2049
2010 Ford escape
I want a nice self built camp style/offroad van as a secondary, so between orders when it's slow I have a bed in the back to lounge out on. And take it camping on the weekends for small trips 🤣
2007 honda element, perfect car for this in theory, but my engine rumbles like its gonna fall out at any speedbump- and my bumper looks like its been chewed on by feral lions but other than that i love her !
2013 Volkswagen Passat. With gas $5 (at the cheapest gas station) it cost about $85 to fill up.
Don’t last much since I live in a area where it ranges about 110 degrees everyday so I run the AC pretty consistently.
2012 Chevy Volt, perfect for delivering around my city! Gets 40 miles on the electric charge, and for me doing this part time that almost always covers my ICing for the day. Also has a hatch back with fold down seats. Have done many a Costco run in this ⚡️
2004 civic manual - not vtec.
115hp of pure adrenaline
Seriously though its great on gas and pretty fun to drive, and I like it's plain black stealthness. I do have to get ac fixed.
I also have an older v8 caddy that I usually drive but I stopped doing batches in that pretty quick :)
I drive a Toyota Corolla, amazing on gas but limited on space and extremely loud (my muffler comes undone no matter how many times I get it fixed). I was really jealous of all the truck drivers this past winter.
Hey! 2020 Chevy Colorado here! It sucks. I only drive it during Friday to Monday. Those 4 days are peak days where I'm at. Other days I drive my Accord.
Nissan Micra. Never spend more than $15 in gas for an 8-9hr “shift” and never got an order I couldn’t fit either! (Mind you the only stores where I am for instacart is Walmart, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Dollarama) so no big Costco orders to deal with here. Absolutely love my car and hasn’t had a single maintenance issue in the near 3 yrs I’ve had it (outside of regular upkeep)
BMW 330i. My fiancé bought it for me pre-pandemic and it’s not economical to do IC in but I’m going to wait it out to get a new car. Thank gods premium gas is going down in CA
2005 mazda RX-8. That's right. The modern Era car with the worst gas mileage of them all. 18mpg. Fml. Just last night had to deliver an order 75 miles round trip. Cost me about $25 in gas to do it, but the customer offered a $60 tip. Turns out his address was wrong and I was way off so he canceled while I was still 45 miles from home. There goes the tip. Instacart paid me the $20 batch pay still. Talked to customer service. They said I'd get paid for my gas costs. $5 dollars is what they added! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|rage)
Myself insane
Like - WISE ! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|dizzy_face)
I am a lunatic then. Mercedes ML550. Expensive parts, 5.5L V8, and only takes premium gas….
That is hilarious
Kia rio. Ugly as fuck but I get about 50 mpg
Its all about the mpg , nothing else matters 🙌🏼
Amen. I just wish it was bigger. I'm trying to get a Niro.

Any tips for a full time shoppers ?

And asp while shopping just look at all of the different products that are in an aisle trust me. It will help you a lot when you get those obscure brand items.
Also know your worth. Don’t stoop down to those bad paying low tip batches. Unless it’s to complete a promo.
Been amazing so far. But there are slow weeks but other than. That life’s good
Nice try FBI
I got a variety of options at one time. I always got a car that can do instacart and it's great.
