Glovo, Just Eat and Uber Eats all serve parts of Spain, but the useful choice begins with an exact delivery address. Coverage, restaurant hours, payment methods and the final fee stack can change from one neighbourhood to the next.
Try Glovo first for restaurants, groceries and other shops, Just Eat for a second restaurant comparison or possible guest checkout, and Uber Eats if it already suits your trip. Set the real entrance before comparing the same meal, because the lowest menu price isn't necessarily the lowest delivered total.
| Your situation | Start here |
|---|---|
| You want restaurants, groceries and shops in one search | Set the exact address in Glovo and compare the complete basket before paying. Its iOS listing confirms an English interface.435 |
| You want another restaurant list or do not want a permanent account | Check Just Eat. Its current terms may offer checkout through a temporary guest account, and the iOS app has an English setting.869 |
| You already use Uber Eats and your Spanish address resolves | Compare its live restaurants and final total with the other two apps. English controls are available on iOS.1011 |
| An allergy or intolerance makes ingredient certainty essential | Read the allergen information and contact the restaurant before completing the order if anything is unclear.16 |

| At a glance | Glovo | Just Eat | Uber Eats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signing up | Glovo's Spanish consumer terms require users to be at least 18 and register with contact details. A foreign mobile verification route is not promised. | Current Spanish terms may offer checkout as a guest, using a temporary guest account on that device. A permanent Just Eat account is not always required. | Sign-in and registration are offered on the Spanish service. We did not verify every foreign-number reauthentication path. |
| Paying | The checkout displays the methods available for that order. Published options can include card, cash and mobile payment, but cash and foreign-card acceptance are not universal. | Published checkout choices are cards, PayPal and merchant-enabled cash. Each order uses one payment method. | Use only a method accepted by the live checkout. An overseas card that works with Uber elsewhere is not guaranteed for every Spanish order. |
| English | Glovo's iOS interface can display English, though text entered by merchants may stay in Spanish. | The current Just Eat iOS build has 11 language settings, including English. | Travelers can switch the Uber Eats controls to English on iOS. |
| Where it works | The official Spain map lists mainland markets, island destinations in the Balearics and Canaries, plus Ceuta and Melilla. The exact address decides availability. | The live restaurant directory names major mainland cities as well as Palma and Las Palmas. Restaurant and courier availability still depends on the delivery address. | Uber Eats publishes a long Spain location directory, but the exact street address and current restaurant hours determine what can be ordered. |
How it works here Uber Eats operates in Spain, but coverage varies. Glovo and Just Eat are the most useful comparisons in supported cities.
Glovo's live map names Balearic markets such as Palma and Mahón, Canary Island markets including Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Puerto del Rosario, plus Ceuta and Melilla. Just Eat's current city directory includes Palma, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Melilla, while Uber Eats maintains its own long Spain location list. The pin still decides. These directories do not promise delivery to every resort, village or rural property.4810
Some old Spain lists still recommend Deliveroo. That advice is stale. The company says its last day of Spanish operations was 29 November 2021. Current restaurant results at the exact address are more reliable than an old roundup or a familiar logo.12
Fees change the answer. Glovo's terms allow a fixed or basket-based service fee shown at payment, plus the product and delivery costs. Delivery pricing can rise temporarily in bad weather, saturation or high demand. Enter the delivery address first, build the same basket in two apps and compare the amount on the final screen.3
Just Eat adds the merchant's published delivery charge and a fixed management cost whose amount must be visible before payment. Estimated delivery time can also depend on whether the restaurant or Just Eat handles the courier. A promotion is useful only after the final fee, minimum order and realistic arrival time still work for you.6
Glovo requires both the correct written address and the correct point on its map. For an apartment, add the portal or entrance, bloque if relevant, escalera, floor and door, plus the name on the intercom. Put the pin where a rider can actually stop rather than at the middle of a large building or pedestrian complex.3
At a hotel, ask whether outside deliveries go to reception, a side entrance or the pavement. Keep notifications on and meet the rider promptly if lifts or gates are controlled. Don't share a code that opens more of the property than the courier needs, and keep any payment or order correction inside the platform record.
Glovo uses a registered account and reveals the eligible methods for each basket. Just Eat may offer a temporary guest account. Its cash route is limited to participating restaurants, locks the payment choice after ordering and accepts no split payment. Have the exact amount or tell the restaurant what change is needed.367
Spain's food-safety agency says allergen information for unpackaged food sold at a distance must be available before purchase and again at delivery. The regulated list covers 14 groups, from gluten cereals, crustaceans and eggs through milk, nuts, sesame, sulphites, lupin and molluscs.12
Disclosure is only the starting point. It does not prove a kitchen can prevent cross-contact. Just Eat's own terms tell customers with an allergy or intolerance to contact the establishment directly before ordering. If the restaurant cannot give a clear answer, choose a safer meal rather than relying on a free-text note or automated translation.6
If the address has no useful app coverage, call the restaurant through its independently published number, ask the accommodation for a local delivery option or order for collection. Confirm the price, payment method, pickup branch and readiness time before leaving. For an active platform order, use its order record and support route rather than paying again through an unexpected chat link.36
Glovo is the practical first search for food, groceries and shops. Just Eat provides another restaurant comparison and may offer guest checkout, while an existing Uber Eats setup is worth checking wherever the exact Spanish address returns restaurants.
No. Deliveroo ended its Spanish operation on 29 November 2021. If an old guide or search result recommends it, use a live Glovo, Just Eat or Uber Eats address search instead.
Sometimes. Open the payment selector after choosing the restaurant; if cash is absent, that order is online-only. When it appears, set aside the displayed euro total and reject any message asking you to switch methods outside the platform.
