The best thing is that now, instead of my car costing me money, I get money each month from my car.

Is your car eligible for the $2000 income guarantee?

To be eligible for our income guarantee, your car must be:

less than 6 years old (based on year of manufacture);
with fewer than 150,000km on the odometer; and
located in one of our high-demand suburbs of Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane.

If your car doesn't meet the eligibility requirements for our guarantee, you can still join and get your car earning its keep!

Check if your postcode is eligible

To be eligible for the guarantee, you need to give your car the best chance of earning for you. This means that during the 12-month Guarantee Period, you will:

Make sure that your car is available for the full day on at least half of the weekend days and half of the weekdays each month;
Have competitive pricing at or below the recommended rates for your car type;
Set the minimum driver age at 21;
Have your car ready to go (in the homezone, with the lockbox and key accessible) for every booking (though if a previous Borrower's late it won't affect your guarantee);
Keep a great ratings record (no more than five percent "thumbs down");
Make sure your car remains registered, roadworthy and well-maintained and meets the other car eligibility criteria; and
Keep all of the Car Next Door stickers on your car.

Of course, you also need to comply with the Owner Agreement and not do anything that's likely to stop your car getting bookings (like asking Borrowers to cancel a booking or making it difficult for Borrowers to book or use your car).

Terms and conditions

The income guarantee is available to new car listings started after 1 January 2016.

We guarantee that your Gross Income (your share of your car's income) will be at least $2000 by the end of the first 12 months that your car is shared (subject to the eligibility criteria set out above). Your Gross Income is shown on your monthly invoice statement.

If, at the end of 12 months, your car has met the eligibility criteria and your Gross Income is less than $2000, then we will pay you the difference.

Earn at least $2000 in 12 months, guaranteed
