Wheels for the people
Our mission
Car Next Door makes it simple to turn any car into a share car, empowering people to save money, reduce waste and create cleaner, greener, better neighbourhoods.
It’s common sense for the common good.
Our journey so far
2013
We get on the road in Sydney with 20 cars and 60 borrowers.
2014
Melbourne joins the journey, and we celebrate 10,000 trips taken on the platform.
2017
Brisbane gets on board as we hit 100,000 trips.
2018
Over 60,000 members are turning the ignition on environmental change, with over $5 million paid out to owners and 12,500 trees planted.
Together, we're on our way to a greener Australia.
When you borrow a local car through Car Next Door, we offset the CO2 emissions by planting biodiverse native Australian forests with Greenfleet.
Our dream team
We’re a team of people who want to use their time and talents to change the world. We collaborate, innovate and celebrate our achievements together.
We’re both dreamers and do-ers. If you have the skills and passion to help us in our mission, we want to hear from you.
Our company values
We listen to our community, and take action. We are a reflection of the community that we are building.
The road to change is challenging, and each one of us takes responsibility for doing their share. We do what we say we’ll do.
We don't pretend to be what someone else expects. We’re a bit quirky, and we’re happy to show that we’re human.
To make Car Next Door work, we’ve had to get past roadblocks that seemed impassable. With creativity and determination, we get there.
We take our work seriously, but not ourselves.
The way cars are owned and used is a crazy waste of resources, space and money. We want to be part of the solution - doing what we can, where we are, with what we have.
