https://help.ubercarshare.com/hc/en-gb/articles/205066669-Sharing-plans-for-renting-out-your-car#our-commissi
on)
We take a commission on the time income generated by an Owner’s Vehicle whilst using the Service, that is, the
hourly and daily rates that an Owner sets for the use of their Vehicle by you as a Borrower. The commission
varies depending on the sharing plan chosen by an Owner. We don’t charge a commission on the distance rate
that an Owner sets for their Vehicle as this income is intended to cover an Owner’s fuel and other running costs.
Commission paid to us by Owners support the Services we offer them and in turn, you as a Borrower. You
acknowledge that you are entering into the Member Agreement with us having been informed about the financial
arrangement between Uber Carshare and third party Owners.

(howsoever arising, whether under contract, tort, statute or otherwise) in any way connected
with such disputes or claims.

9.3 If you Borrow a Vehicle, you must take and provide to us photographs of the Vehicle when
you take possession of the Vehicle and when you cease to have possession of the Vehicle,

Damage and Loss or untidiness to the Vehicle, even if that Damage and Loss or untidiness
may have occurred before or after you took possession of the Vehicle. You acknowledge
and agree that this system of recording the condition of shared Vehicles and attributing
responsibility for damage is a reasonable and necessary condition of your participation in
the Service. You agree that it is your responsibility to prove that the Vehicle was not
damaged whilst in your possession, and not the Owner’s or our responsibility to prove that it
was damaged whilst in your possession. You agree to take and upload a complete and clear
set of photos showing all exterior and interior surfaces of the Vehicle for each Booking in
accordance with the requirements of this clause and of the Damage Policy.

Booking Period) and report to us any damage to the Vehicle, in accordance with the
Damage Policy.
9.5 Subject to clause 10:

respect of each single Event (being an event that occurs at the same address and

(i) subject to clause 9.6, the reasonable costs of rectifying the Damage and
Loss (which includes the loss and damage to the Vehicle and any
assessment, towing, storage and recovery charges);
(ii) a loss-of-use payment to the Owner for each day that their car is
unavailable, calculated on the basis set out in the Damage Policy; and
(iii) other applicable fees as set out in the Fee Schedule that arise from and
are directly related to the Event
for each single Event.
(b) If Damage and Loss is identified or reported to us in connection with your
possession of the Vehicle, we may charge your Card for our account for the
amount that we estimate, in good faith and acting reasonably, will be sufficient to
cover your Damage and Loss Liability, which, prior to the Damage and Loss being
20240201_1 7
assessed and quantified by a qualified repairs person, will be an estimate of the
Damage and Loss.
9.6 If you are a Borrower who has Trip Cover for the Booking Period:
(a) you must make a claim to Mobility Mutual for protection under the Trip Cover PDS
and protection wording if you are liable for Damage and Loss under this
Agreement.
(b) If you fail to make a claim under Trip Cover within 3 business days of Damage and
Loss being reported to us, then you authorise us to act as your agent and to make
a claim in your name, and we will notify you in writing of this action.

we will charge your Card on behalf of Mobility Mutual to pay your Excess, and
Mobility Mutual will pay the remaining amount of your Damage and Loss Liability
up to the Protection Limit in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in
the TripCover PDS.
(i) If the Damage and Loss Liability is:
(A) less than your Excess, we will charge your Card the estimated
cost of the Damage and Loss Liability, and promptly notify you
of the same; or
(B) equal to or exceeds your Excess, we will charge your Card the
Excess only, and promptly notify you of the same.
(d) You must comply with the important conditions in the TripCover PDS and you
report Damage and Loss to the Vehicle from hail, flood, fire, storm, cyclone or
other natural disaster to us as soon as reasonably possible and no more than 7
days after it occurs.
(e) If the claim for protection under Trip Cover is denied by Mobility Mutual, or if it
appears to us that one or more of the exclusions to Trip Cover applies, we will
charge your Card, for the Owner’s account, for the full amount of your Damage
and Loss Liability estimated amount. You will be promptly notified of the details of
the Damage and Loss and the amount to be charged. With the exception of any
reasonable fees relating to our handling of the matter as advised by us or set out
in the Fee Schedule -Inconvenience and Admin Fees, we collect these amounts
as the Owner’s agent.
(f) If you are required to pay the full amount for your Damage and Loss Liability and
you dispute the Damage and Loss Liability or the amount charged, you must still
pay the amount determined under clause 9.6(e) and contact us. We will address or
assist you to resolve the dispute in accordance with the Complaints and Dispute
Resolution Policy. We may do so on behalf of an Owner if a disputed amount is
owed to or has been paid to the Owner, or you may be asked to attempt to resolve
the dispute directly with the Owner. If the dispute is resolved in your favour, we will
return the disputed amount to you within a reasonable period of time.
(g) If you are required to pay the full amount for your Damage and Loss Liability and
the actual costs of, or associated with, the Damage and Loss are less than the
amount that you have been charged pursuant to the initial Damage and Loss
estimate, or if we subsequently recover the costs from Mobility Mutual or from any
third parties who may have been at fault, then we will reimburse the difference to
your Card within a reasonable time after all costs have been fully quantified and
forward to you an invoice for the final amount. Alternatively, or if the actual costs
exceed the amount that you have been charged, then we will charge your Card,
20240201_1 8
either for our account or for the Owner’s account, with the outstanding amount and
promptly notify you of the same.
9.7 If Damage and Loss to the Vehicle from hail, flood, fire, storm, cyclone or other natural
disaster occurs during a period when you have possession of the Vehicle, you must report
the Loss or Damage via the Website as soon as reasonably possible and no more than 7
days after it occurs.
9.8 You must inform us immediately if any of your Driving History details change during the
course of your Membership, including (but not limited to) any vehicular accidents that you
are involved in (note that these are not limited to “Accidents” as defined).
9.9 You (whether as Owner or Borrower) agree to indemnify us and our Affiliates for any claim
made against us or any of our Affiliates for loss of or damage to any personal property that
is connected with your use or possession of a Vehicle, or the use or possession of your
Vehicle, including personal property left in the Vehicle.

OWNER AGREEMENT

Member Agreement, if you are an Owner and you apply to List a Vehicle for Sharing through
the Service. The definitions contained in the Member Agreement apply to this Owner
Agreement.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OWNER AGREEMENT
Uber Carshare’s liability under the Owner Agreement
We provide an Owner Guarantee to you as an Owner so that, subject to certain important terms and conditions, if
a Borrower is responsible for damage to your Vehicle and doesn’t pay, we will pay for the repair or replacement of
your Vehicle see Owner Guarantee, available at
https://www.ubercarshare.com/terms-of-use/owner-guarantee-terms-and-conditions.
Your liability under the Owner Agreement
As an Owner, you are responsible for ensuring the Vehicle Eligibility criteria in clause 27.1 are met and paying all
Infringement Notices for the parking or driving of a Vehicle whilst you have possession of it (see clause 37). On
the other hand, generally speaking, Borrowers are responsible to you and us for all damage and loss to a Vehicle
whilst in their possession and for related costs and fees see Damage Policy and Fee Schedule (see clause 35).
The Member Agreement also requires that you inspect the Vehicle regularly (including at the end of each Booking
Period) and report to us any damage to the Vehicle, in accordance with the Damage Policy.
Clause 35.6 also sets out the things for which Borrowers are not responsible for and that our Owner Guarantee
does not cover, like Wear and Tear, mechanical failure and pre-existing damage.
Importantly, if your Vehicle is unregistered or unroadworthy whilst it is made available through our Service, you
are liable to indemnify us and Borrowers for all loss or damage, fines and penalties etc that arise from the use of
your Vehicle, except to the extent we have contributed to this.
Also, other than is required under the ACL, and to the maximum extent possible under law, you as an Owner are
not entitled to compensation or payment for any loss of income where a Vehicle is damaged or has suffered loss
(see clause 35.5) or where your Vehicle is suspended from the Service (see clause 42.2).
Additional fees
In addition to the Fees and Charges payable in connection with your Membership or your use of the Service, as
an Owner you may also be required to pay certain charges for other matters such as Booking cancellations, lost
Lockbox System or Tolling Device parts, as outlined in the Fee Schedule Inconvenience and Admin Fees
section of the Website https://help.ubercarshare.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360001149986. We can set off any
amounts that you owe us under the Owner Agreement against amounts we owe you (see clause 31.1(f)).
In what circumstances can we suspend your vehicle from the Service or cancel your Membership?
Uber Carshare can suspend your Vehicle from the Service as outlined in clause 42.1. We can also cancel your
Membership in accordance with clause 24.1 where, for example, you commit a material breach of the Agreement
or commit an illegal, dishonest or wrongful act (in which case, subject to applicable laws, you will not be entitled
to a refund of your Membership Fee or other payments). Where we otherwise cancel your Membership, you will
be entitled to a pro-rata refund of your Membership Fee and other payments.
Can we provide information that can identify you as Owner to third parties?
Yes. We can make some information from your Member profile available to other Members so they can contact
you about a Vehicle or Booking inquiry (see clauses 28.4(a)).

10. DAMAGE AND LOSS TO YOUR VEHICLE
10.1 Each Borrower must have Trip Cover for each Booking they make to cover Damage and
Loss when they use your Vehicle. If a Borrower is responsible for Damage and Loss under

parts or parts that were not made by the original equipment manufacturer); or

the market value of your Vehicle at the date of the Accident or theft, as reasonably
determined by an independent valuer appointed by us, Carshare Support or by Mobility
Mutual when assessing your claim. If Mobility Mutual approves a claim, Carshare Support
will pay for the repairs to the Vehicle, on behalf of Mobility Mutual, in accordance with the
terms of the TripCover PDS.
10.2 If you do not agree (acting reasonably) with the valuation made by the independent valuer
then you may provide evidence to support your alternative valuation. The final determination
of the market value of your Vehicle will be made by Carshare Support or by Mobility Mutual
acting reasonably.
10.3 If a Borrower fails to lodge a claim with Mobility Mutual when the Borrower is liable for
Damage and Loss to your Vehicle, we will, acting reasonably, exercise our rights under the
Member Agreement to lodge that claim on their behalf. If a claim for Damage and Loss to
Your Vehicle is not approved by Mobility Mutual, the Borrower remains liable to you in
accordance with the Member Agreement.
10.4 Where you experience loss of use of your Vehicle as a direct result of Damage and Loss
caused to the Vehicle by a Borrower, the Borrower may be required to make a payment to
you to compensate you for that loss of use, calculated as set out in the Damage Policy in

payment in relation to any actual or anticipated loss of income generated from your Vehicle.

damage, rust or corrosion or reduction in value with respect to a Vehicle;
20240201_1 30
(b) mechanical, electrical or computer breakdowns, failures or breakages with respect
to a Vehicle;
(c) Damage and Loss as a result of lawful seizure or impounding of a Vehicle
(however the Borrower will be responsible for these costs if the seizure or
impounding results from their action or inaction);
(d) Repairs to a Vehicle carried out without our consent;
(e) the cost of repair of pre-existing damage, faulty work or incomplete repairs with
respect to a Vehicle that were in existence prior to the Damage and Loss or
Accident in question;
(f) Damage and Loss to any non-standard modifications or accessories that were not
supplied by the manufacturer; or
(g) Damage and Loss if you make your Vehicle available for Bookings, or drive it
yourself, when it is in an unsafe or un-roadworthy condition or otherwise fails to
comply with the Eligibility Requirements in clause 27 in our reasonable opinion.
10.7 We will ensure that whilst your Vehicle is in the possession of a Borrower, as described in
the Damage Policy, the Borrower has current membership of Mobility Mutual and
discretionary risk protection under Trip Cover for the Booking. If the Borrower is for any
reason unable to access Trip Cover, or if their claim for protection under Trip Cover is
declined by Mobility Mutual, then you may make a claim under the Owner Guarantee.
10.8 You acknowledge that there are limits and exclusions to the Borrower’s level of cover under
Trip Cover and to the amount that may be paid by us to you as Owner under the Owner
Guarantee, as set out in the Member Agreement and the Owner Guarantee.
11. CLAIMS FOR DAMAGE AND LOSS
11.1 You are deemed to be in possession of the Vehicle for all times other than when a Borrower
is in possession of the Vehicle. The periods when a Borrower is deemed to be in possession
of the Vehicle are specified in the Damage Policy under the heading “Who is responsible for
damage?”
11.2 You will be fully responsible for Damage and Loss that occurs whilst the Vehicle is in your
possession (as opposed to being in the possession of a Borrower). We are not (and our
Affiliates are not) liable to you or any third party in relation to any such Damage and Loss,
and you agree to indemnify us and our Affiliates for any claims against, or damage or loss
suffered by, us or any of our Affiliates as a result of or in connection with any such Damage
and Loss, except to the extent that these claims, damage or loss have been caused or
contributed to by our negligence or wrongful act or omission.
11.3 If your Vehicle meets the eligibility criteria for Between-Booking Cover, you may choose to
purchase Between-Booking Cover from Mobility Mutual to cover your Vehicle for Damage
and Loss which occurs between Bookings and is protected under the terms and conditions
of the Between-Booking Cover PDS.
11.4 If there is Damage and Loss that results from the use or possession of your Vehicle by a
Borrower, then we or our Affiliates will:
(a) determine the quantification of the Damage and Loss in accordance with clause

(b) arrange for the completion of our Collision or Damage Report Form;
20240201_1 31

not approve the claim, the amounts owing to you by the Borrower in
relation to the Damage and Loss from the Borrower on your behalf; and

(ii) the applicable repair costs and other amounts collected from the
Borrower or Mobility Mutual (including any claim settlement) on your
behalf, either to you or directly to the repairer on your behalf or to the
person you direct us to pay.
11.5 We may, in accordance with the Owner Guarantee or otherwise in our absolute discretion
pay you in advance of collecting such amount from the Borrower or Mobility Mutual, in which
case such amount (once collected) will be owed to us by way of reimbursement for the
payments made, instead of to you.
12. LIABILITY FOR PARKING AND DRIVING INFRINGEMENTS
12.1 If an Infringement Notice is issued in relation to an infringement occurring during any time
other than:
(a) while Borrower has possession of the Vehicle, or
(b) when your Vehicle incurs a parking fine in the place where it was left by a
Borrower,
then you are responsible for payment of the Infringement Notice. Neither the
