Stay on the Road, Keep Earning
Melbourne’s hire car and rideshare drivers are always on the move. When your vehicle stops, your income shouldn’t.
At RideCover Australia, in partnership with Carrick Rideshare Club, we provide tailored hire car services and Uber-focused insurance so you can stay on the road, keep earning and protect your livelihood—whether you drive full-time or part-time.
Drive Protected with Melbourne’s Top Hire Car Services
An accident, breakdown or repair shouldn’t put your earnings on hold. Our rideshare hire car solutions help you keep working when your vehicle is unavailable, so you don’t miss valuable trip time or income.
We offer fast, rideshare-ready replacement vehicles for Uber, Lyft and other platforms, so you can continue driving while your own car is being repaired, replaced or assessed.
Who Can Benefit from a Rideshare Hire Car?
Uber and Lyft drivers needing a temporary vehicle
Rideshare drivers dealing with unexpected repairs or accident downtime
New drivers who need a reliable car to start earning straight away
Don’t let car troubles stop your income. Whether you need a temporary Uber car or a Lyft-friendly rental, our hire car services are built around rideshare drivers’ needs.
