The benefits of renting your rideshare vehicle

Ridesharing has revolutionised the way we get around, and in a relatively short amount of time. If you want to take advantage of the rideshare boom, Keyz is a great way to get started. We’ve made it simple, easy and fast to come on board.

Keyz is featured on Uber Marketplace Melbourne (the ride-share drivers’ hub) and it’s a real game-changer, because you don’t even need to own a vehicle to get started as a rideshare driver. Our hire cars are ‘Uber Approved’, with exclusive offers for potential and current rideshare drivers.

What does ‘Uber Approved’ mean?

Uber promises passengers ‘reliable rides in minutes,’ so every rideshare vehicle needs to be of the highest possible standard in comfort and safety. Once you’ve found the right rental solution to suit your needs with Keyz, you can rest assured that the vehicle has already passed Uber’s rigorous safety inspections, so it’s ready to hit the road as soon as you are.

Uber Australia has announced that from 1 October 2019, when you sign up with a new vehicle it needs to have a 5-star Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) safety rating.

All the rideshare vehicles at Keyz have the 5-star ANCAP rating for your peace of mind.

Here’s how it works: Just compare vehicles and plans and select the rental package that suits your needs; whether it’s a standard rental, or buying a vehicle.

How do know which option is right for you?

Well, our Standard Rentals, listed on Uber Marketplace Melbourne, are ideal if you want to get on the road quickly. Or you may already have your own vehicle but want to keep the kilometres down, and protect it from the wear and tear of everyday ridesharing.

If you’d prefer to hire, rather than own a vehicle, you’ll also save on car registration fees, repairs and maintenance. We take care of all that for you, making your rideshare driving experience that little bit simpler, and hassle-free.

If you’re ready to own your rideshare vehicle, Keyz has a range of new and used vehicles to choose from, with repayments from $110 a week. Our vehicles for purchase are also ‘Uber Approved’ and feature on Uber Marketplace Melbourne.

Keyz also offers exclusive Uber Finance options to approved applicants.

So, what are the benefits of hiring a rideshare vehicle with Keyz?

For starters, every rideshare rental vehicle includes car maintenance and servicing (and we’ll give you a loan car while your vehicle is off the road so you never have to stop ridesharing), vehicle insurance (also a requirement with Uber), registration and of course, the 5 Star ANCAP safety rating and BONUS 24/7 roadside assistance.

Keyz’s minimal rental is just two weeks, with a 14 day hand back notice, so you’re not locked in or tied down, and there are no surprises later on.

And the online booking process couldn’t be easier. Just choose your vehicle, fill out a brief form and we’ll contact you quickly and help you get on the road as soon as possible.

It really couldn’t be easier to get behind the wheel of your ride-share vehicle, with local pick-up, and excellent availability on most models.

And we have a great range of vehicles to suit your style and your budget.

From the KIA Picanto Hatch, for zipping rideshare passengers around the CBD, to the Mercedes V-Class, for the more discerning rideshare passenger.

So, whether your passenger is taking a shopping trip to the Queen Victoria Markets, taking the kids to Luna Park, or taking some time out to enjoy wine tasting in the Mornington Peninsula, you can just enjoy the drive.

Where previously car ownership was essential to becoming a rideshare driver, Keyz has removed that barrier for drivers who want to take advantage of the fast growing rideshare market, making it much easier and more accessible. And because of the exclusive rideshare rental offers, it’s also more affordable to get behind the wheel of your own rental vehicle as a rideshare driver.

And if you have any questions as you’re considering your car rental options, just give us a call during business hours and a member of our team would love to talk you through all the options and how we can help you can start driving your hire car within one hour!

As one of the few car rental companies featured on Uber Marketplace Melbourne, Keyz are experts in rideshare rental vehicles.

If you’ve made the decision to get into ridesharing, there’s no need to wait around. Keyz has everything you need to get on the road today.
