Inviting friends to join

Every time a new member uses your code, they’ll receive $50 credit. New borrowers receive $50 driving credit towards their first trip, which has a 3-month expiry. New owners who list their car within 30 days of signing up will receive $50 bonus income in their first month.

If someone who uses your code takes a trip, or lists their car within 30 days of signing up, you’ll receive $50 driving credit, or $50 bonus income if you have a car listed on the platform. You’ll continue to receive this for each new member, up to a maximum of 5 referral credits per month, and a maximum of 300 lifetime referrals.

Fair Use Policy for invite codes

The invite codes are intended to reward members for helping to spread the word about Uber Carshare by word of mouth and other activity in their local community. They shouldn’t be used in a way that conflicts with Uber Carshare’s own marketing.

Don’t:

• publish your invite code or invite link on your car’s listing or description on the Uber Carshare site.
• publish or place your invite code on any website that includes the words “Uber Carshare Promo (or ‘referral’ or ‘invite’ or similar) Code”
• publish your invite code on coupon or discount websites
• carry out any activity that competes with Uber Carshare’s own marketing efforts (like advertising using “Uber Carshare” as a keyword or advertisements posing as Uber Carshare)
• spam people with invitations. This includes mass emailing, texting or messaging people you don’t know using automated systems or bots through any channel

Uber Carshare reserves the right to cancel invite codes if, in our reasonable opinion, a member is not following this fair use policy.

I’m a car owner – why should I invite others to list a car?

More cars means more bookings for you!

We've found that when we set up cars in a new suburb, the more cars there are in a cluster, the more bookings each of those cars receives.

The number of borrowers in an area grows exponentially in relation to the number of cars. If a car is solo in an area, it only takes one booking to eliminate the supply for other borrowers. So a cluster of cars makes the supply more reliable, and hence attracts more return borrowers.

We are putting on more cars every week. This will result in more marketing activity, which results in more borrower applications and more bookings on your car.

You can help to grow the car-sharing community (and your car's activity) by telling your car-owning friends and neighbours about Uber Carshare.
