What is Uber car hire?
Uber car hire involves renting, leasing or subscribing to a car to provide rideshare services on the Uber platform. Uber drivers pay a fixed weekly or monthly fee to the Uber car hire provider which covers the cost of the car, maintenance and insurance.
When choosing an Uber car hire provider, Uber drivers must ensure they have access to reliable cars to ensure they are able to maximise their earning potential.
Karmo Rideshare Rentals provides a wide range of Uber car hire options in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth giving Rideshare drivers the flexibility to subscribe to a car of that best suits their needs.
Considering a Uber car hire?
Why choose a Karmo rideshare rental for your Uber car hire?
- Plans that are flexible
Karmo’s rideshare rentals allow you to cancel or adjust your plan with just 7 days notice unlike most other providers. This ensures you can take a break or enjoy a vacation without having to keep paying for your Uber car hire.
- Widest range of cars to choose from
Karmo has a wide range of cars you can swap into. You’re not stuck in one car and are free to choose a car which has the best incentives on Uber. This can help maximize your earnings.
- It’s actually all-inclusive
Most Uber car hire providers promise all-inclusive plans but Karmo rideshare rentals actually deliver on that promise. When you choose Karmo, everything is included from insurance, registration, maintenance, and roadside assistance.
- Drive the latest cars
Unlike most Uber car hire providers, Karmo’s fleet only has modern, high-quality cars. With every term you can upgrade to the latest models available and ensure the car you’re working in has the best features and comfort.
Beware of rent to own traps for Uber car hire
- High overall cost
While there’s often no interest charged, the weekly repayments and various fees (like late payment fees, account keeping fees, and early termination fees) can really add up. You’ll likely end up paying significantly more for the car than if you bought it outright or with a traditional loan.
- Limited choice and restrictions
Rent-to-own car providers usually have a limited selection of vehicles, it’s often cars that manufacturers and dealers are trying to get rid off. You might not find the exact car you want, and there may be restrictions on how many kilometers you can drive or modifications you can make.
- What are you really owing
You don’t actually own your Uber car until you make the very last payment. If you complete your rent to own term after often paying twice the value of the car, you are owning a car with very high kilometres, high maintenance costs and low resale value.

Managing toll payments for your Karmo subscription vehicle
Karmo’s terms and conditions require that tolls be paid directly to the toll operator. This helps keep variable weekly costs to a minimum and help our customers budget for their subscriptions with ease. To make it easier for you, we strongly recommend fitting a toll tag to your vehicle, otherwise an administration processing fee of $5 is applicable to any unpaid tolls that we receive on behalf of your vehicle. In such cases, you will be charged the unpaid toll charges and the administration processing fee on your next weekly payment.
Who is covered by Karmo provided insurance in my subscription car?
To ensure compliance with our insurance policy, it’s important to note that coverage is limited to the person listed on the contract, as well as any additional drivers who are explicitly mentioned on the subscription agreement.
This means that only the primary subscriber and any additional drivers specifically listed on the contract will be covered by our insurance policy during the subscription period. It is essential to adhere to this requirement for the protection and safety of all parties involved.
Please remember that driving without the appropriate coverage may result in liability and potential financial risks. The safety and security of our subscribers remains a priority and we provide comprehensive insurance coverage as per our policy guidelines.
