Wheels for the people

Our mission

To free people and the planet from the 'one person, one car' mentality

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.

2018

Hyundai comes along for the ride as we launch in the Gold Coast and mark $5 million paid to owners.

Key Handover makes sharing possible outside the big cities, Canberra and Perth get on board bringing our total number of cars to over 3,000, and we celebrate planting over 40,500 trees.

Together, we're on our way to a greener Australia.

Our sustainability efforts

Every Car Next Door share car takes up to 10 other cars off the road – but we believe we can do even more to reduce Australia's carbon footprint.

When you borrow a local car through Car Next Door, we offset the CO₂ emissions by planting biodiverse native Australian forests with Greenfleet.

We've also teamed up with Hyundai to make it easier than ever to share and borrow planet-friendly hybrid and fully electric cars with Car Next Door.

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.
