Pricing for borrowing a car

You pay for your trip in two parts: at checkout when you book and then after your trip ends.

Pre-trip costs

Hire costs that are charged at the time you book a car.

Time charges

Each car has an hourly and daily rate. You pay by the hour until you reach the daily rate – the daily rate is the most you'll pay for a car in a 24-hour period.

Example: A car costs $5 an hour and $25 a day. You’ll pay for each hour up to 5 hours (5 x $5 = $25) and then the rate will be capped at $25 for the remainder of the 24-hour period.

Some cars have higher rates on certain days or times of the year. You’ll also find some car owners offer discounts when cars are booked for 3 days or more, or 12 days or more.

Booking fee $4

Fee charged to customers and paid out to cover auto insurance, onboarding costs, and other trip-related expenses.

Basic Cover

Basic Cover is 20% of the time charges. It provides you with insurance and vehicle protection for your trip.

Premium Cover (optional add-on)

You can reduce your excess from $2,000 to $500 for an additional $2 an hour or $20 a day.

Post-trip costs
