DoorDash DashPass review

DashPass makes sense for households that already order dinner through DoorDash and want groceries in the same place. DoorDash describes it as a membership with $0 delivery fees, reduced service fees and special discounts on eligible orders at participating restaurants, grocery stores and convenience stores in the U.S. and Canada. Members also get priority customer support, DashPass-only promotions, 5 to 10% off Lyft rides on up to 4 rides a month, and the same benefits on Caviar. DoorDash offers monthly and annual plans and discounted memberships for groups such as students, with a free trial for people who have not used DashPass before. The catch is the order minimum: savings only apply once your cart meets each store's minimum, which the app shows next to the purple DashPass icon. DoorDash's help center points to live pricing in the app rather than publishing a figure, and we could not load a US price from our location, so the price is marked pending.
