Is Car Sharing for me?
Charter Drive is designed for:
- People or families needing a second car every now and then
- Those that drive less than 15,000 kms a year
- Those that early-bird park
- Businesses looking to eliminate their taxi charges and/or parking costs without reducing staff mobility
- Businesses looking to rationalise their vehicle fleets
- Businesses looking for greater, no-hassles, staff mobility
If this sounds like you or your organisation, then check out the locations of our car share pods to see if we have cars near your home or office.
If you can get to our cars relatively easily and can answer “yes” to three or more of the following questions, then you’re a prime candidate for Car Sharing!

Do You Want to...
- Drive a car
- Save Money
- Avoid Stress
- Help the environment
Do I Want to Drive a Clean, Modern Car?
Charter Drive gives you quick, convenient, hourly access to clean and reliable cars, at pick-up locations city wide.
Our fleet is made up of 3-door hatchbacks (like the super efficient Fiat 500 and smart ForTwo), 5-door hatchbacks (Merc A-Class, Fiat Punto) and in the near future wagons and people-movers.
Do I Want to Save Lots of Money?
Charter Drive is pay-as-you-go. This is the opposite of owning a car, where you pay whether you go or not. Given that most cars sit idle for 22 hours of the day, switching to the pay-as-you-go model can generate substantial savings each and every year.
Do I Want to Avoid Car Stress?
To save you time and hassle, Charter Drive takes away the bother of:
- Negotiating and paying insurance
- Financing paperwork, commitments and bills
- Major repairs
- Parking permits
- Vehicle maintenance
- Rego and CTP renewals
- Pink Slip inspections
- Securing parking or permits
- Looking endlessly for parking on your return
Do I Want to Help the Environment?
Car emissions contribute to air pollution, climate change, asthma and other illnesses. By sharing a car instead of buying one, you can make a real difference:
- Each Car Sharing car has been proven to eliminate up to 7 cars from our roads
- Many Car Sharing members reduce emissions by as much as 50% after joining
- Each Car Sharing car helps to relieve parking congestion
- Charter Drive cars are selected according to how low their emissions and fuel consumption are.
It’s no wonder that the City of Sydney and City of Melbourne support car sharing.
