All our vehicles have e-tag readers so you don't need to buy one or bring your own. We get a bill from the toll authority once a month and automatically charge the tolls to whichever account had the vehicle booked when it was on a toll road. You will see the tolls on your account at the end of the month with detailed descriptions of where & when the toll was incurred.
You can jump online and book a GreenShareCar up to 3 months in advance or at the very last minute.
Yes. We have GreenShareCars located all over Melbourne. If your preferred car is unavailable, all of our cars are within walking distance of each other. The process of picking up a regular rental car can take over 30 minutes, plus the time it takes you to get to and from the agency. With GreenShareCar you can be driving within a couple minutes.

You can always extend your booking if the vehicle has not already been booked by another member. You can do so from the onboard computer, our mobile website, or just give us a call during business hours. If you are unable to extend your booking, we request that you notify us at least 20 minutes prior to the end of your reservation, as a courtesy to the next driver.
No. We do not supply baby seats but each GreenShareCar has the restraint anchor points installed, so members are able to supply their own baby seats/capsules to use in the car.
Just like if you are driving your own vehicle, if you incur any fines for driving infringements it is your responsibility as the driver to pay for the fine. If you receive a fine you must let us know, it is then up to you as the driver to pay the fine. If GreenShareCar receives a fine in the mail and you were the driver of the vehicle at the time of the offence, we will call you to inform you of the fine and will direct debit the appropriate charges out of your account. An administration charge applies for all fines that are paid by GreenShareCar.
Yes. GreenShareCar has a minimum booking period of 1 hour.
You are able to book a GreenShareCar for as long as you like, as long as it does not coincide with another members existing booking. Please note that bookings over a 5 day period need to be approved by GreenShareCar, call us to find out more.
No. Only registered members are permitted to drive GreenShareCars. Every driver must submit an application and be approved before getting behind the wheel of a GreenShareCar.

Most traditional car rental companies won't rent to you if you're aged under 25 and, if they do, they will charge you extremely high fees. GreenShareCar only requires that you have at least 12 months driving experience and are at least 18 years of age. We charge the same hire rates but higher insurance excess applies depending on your age (see "How does insurance cover work?" above).

We do. If you rent through a traditional car rental company, you are responsible for paying for petrol - this is a big advantage of carsharing. GreenShareCar includes up to 150km per day booking, excess distance is charged per KM but that still includes petrol. Every GreenShareCar has a fuel card provided so we pay for the petrol directly.
Give us a call at 1300 575 878, we're always happy to help!
Yes. Membership fees are charged based on the membership plan that you are on. The fee will be charged based on the anniversary of your membership.
