Thanks Tuga! That's a good suggestion about Car Next Door.

Car Next Door is great - in fact a mate of mine is sharing his car using that service. The issue for me though is, that there aren't enough cars. I live in the middle of Sydney (Surry Hills) and I have 3 GoGets within 1min of walking and 10 within 5mins, which is just super convienent, esp. since $49 a year isn't that much.

It's $49 a year, $12 a month or $30 a month. The more you pay the cheaper the hourly rate is and the more people can be added to your plan. I'm in Sydney.

Hi Ash - this is a great topic. Comparing these costs are certainly fun to do. I've been looking at something similar. There is a lot of money spent on a car even if it doesn't leave your garage. Currently I'm looking at owning a car vs just Ubering everywhere. A Yaris is a very wise car to consider. I imagine it'll ultimately come down to personal preference because I think for some they'll just prefer being able to just jump in their own car and go for a drive whenever they want haha. Great idea for a future video though. Thanks!

interestingly i am also considering owning a car outright versus goget. my car got smashed recently so i am here to decide what to do. I see myself as infrequett car user(working remotely) but i would say at least 2-3 times a week i drive around, to evening classes, sports, food hunting etc. if i use go get for each trip, that comes to maybe 60dollars/trip so $180/week. My company offers free goget membership, so my cost would be $180*45weeks(let's say i am away travelling for 8 weeks or so each year). And that comes down to $8100 a year. If i buy a car at $36000 for example, my insurance could be somewhere around $1200/yr, rego is $1080, servicing $350, plus petrol $40/fortnight. Considering car depreciation (i am getting japanese cars which hold value well) is $1000 per year(i definitely drive less than 5000kms per year), i would say buying a car still seems a much better deal?

Hi Sohaib, certainly I've got it planned to come out soon.

Thanks Raymond

Thanks Daryl! Glad it helped!

The cars normally have a fuel card with them so you can pay for fuel using that instead of your own money.

Haha thanks Simon! Yeah those pesky ads...but make sure you watch them all too haha!

I can totally understand! When I lived in Perth I had to have a car - it was super cheap. I was doing "uni hours" so public transport wasn't great at those times. When the city has decent public transport it does help a lot. Hopefully they'll expand out to Perth at some point.

No worries! Hope it was insightful.

@@SanjeeSen I always wondering about those mysterious little cars with orange ears. Your experience was very enlightening! Hahaha :D

Hi Cherrytree - no unfortunately you have to return it to the same place you picked it up from.

Haha thanks Wade. Appreciate it when people notice :)

Question 🙋: If i book ($89/day incl. 150km) do they still add "40c/km Limitation" on the daily rate? Or only if exceed 150km? Best thing with daily fixed rate is no "time constraints" meaning u don't have to rush!

Hi Christina, I haven't used them in quite a while, but when I did - they gave you a fuel card which you used for petrol. So they covered all the petrol costs. You just had to quote the kms during the transaction at the petrol station. All explained in advance by GoGet. Regarding plan recommendations - I'd have a look at their website for the latest details: www.goget.com.au/pricing/ On the plan pricing look under "Minimum total cost". Looks like you need to commit to at least 1 month. But I could be wrong. Please reach out to them directly to confirm. They've always been very helpful when I've spoken to them on the phone.

Thanks Aldrian!

Thanks Hasan!

Hi Ellen, yes you lock and unlock the car with just the card and you can leave the keys inside the car. I think they actually recommend that. So yes if you need to park the car while you’ve booked it, you can just leave the keys inside but then remember to lock the car with the GoGet card. Hope that helps.

Yes it does look like you can: www.goget.com.au/blog/driving-in-australia-overseas-license#:~:text=You%20can%20drive%20on%20a,translation%20or%20International%20Drivers%20Permit.

Hi there, if I remember correctly - they usually mail it out to you through the post.

I think there are some locations you can collect a card. It’s on the go get website.

It depends on the plan you are going to sign up. There are plans that allow the original account holder or original GoGET member to add 2 to 4 drivers on his/her account.

Probably one plan for a family or flatmates. Seems like good value if you bring more people to the company.

Hi Stav, no I've not used it for camping or any long trips in general. You could probably hire it out for a day which includes 150km (but I'm not sure if that's 150km per day or per booking). Best to contact them to confirm.

@@SanjeeSen thanks, will do

Haha thanks!

Thanks for noticing :)

You don't pay for the petrol, they provide you a card to refill it
