What Glovo is

Travelers use it to order restaurant meals or pharmacy and supermarket items to their accommodation. Its 'anything' courier model also lets you request pickups of items from shops not formally listed.

Good to know
- Coverage is regional, concentrated in Southern and Eastern Europe and parts of Africa; it isn't worldwide.
- An account and delivery address are required, and payment is typically by card or wallet in-app.
- Service fees and minimum orders vary by city and item type.
- A data connection and a reachable phone number are needed so the courier can coordinate delivery.
Travel tips
- Add a clear address note with your building, floor, and a nearby landmark, since couriers may not know unfamiliar tourist accommodations.
- Try the courier/errand feature to grab something from a specific local shop that isn't a standard delivery partner.
- Keep your phone on and reachable; riders often call when they're close, especially in apartment blocks.
- Check delivery fees before ordering small items, as short-distance minimums and surcharges can make tiny orders pricey.
When to reach for it
