Why borrow cars with Car Next Door?
Free membership
Join the community for free and pay only when you need a car. Borrow by the hour or by the day, with fuel and insurance included.
Cars on your street
With over 1,300 share cars across Australia, you can borrow a car close to home – sign up to see the exact locations of cars on our fleet map.
Save money
Your neighbour’s car can be up to 50% cheaper than a traditional rental, plus you only pay for the time you need it.
Comprehensive insurance included
You’re covered if you have an accident during your trip. You can even reduce your Damage Cover Liability for more peace of mind, just like a rental car.
24 hour support
All bookings come with 24-hour roadside assistance and member support. We’ve got instructions for every step of the way in our support centre.
Help the community and the environment
When you book with us, the majority of your money goes back to your community, you’re making use of unused cars, and we offset the CO2 of every km you drive.
