How it works

Four steps, no queue

  1. 01

    Pick your car

    Every car in the fleet is listed with its real daily rate, included kilometres and bond. What you see is the whole price.

  2. 02

    Book it in

    Enter your details and hold the car. We confirm by text and email, usually within the hour during business hours.

  3. 03

    Pay the bond

    A refundable bond secures the booking. Card or bank transfer — no cash, no deposit at the counter.

  4. 04

    Collect and go

    Meet us at the pickup point or find the car waiting with the keys in a lockbox. Licence check is done on your phone.

Why greatcar

Small fleet.
Fewer surprises.

The big brands optimise for counter volume. We run a fleet small enough that someone here has personally driven the car you are about to collect.

Serviced on schedule, not on complaint
Every car is logged against its service interval and rego expiry. If it is due, it comes off the line — you never get handed the one that has been putting up with a warning light.
The quote is the invoice
Included kilometres, bond and any extras are shown before you book. No airport surcharge invented at handover, no admin fee for existing.
Tolls handled
Add a Linkt pass and drive CityLink and EastLink without thinking about it. We reconcile the actual toll cost — we do not mark it up.
greatcar for business

One account, one invoice, no receipts to chase.

Trades, consultancies and site teams across the southeast run their vehicles on a single account. Every hire is tagged to a job or cost centre, and you get one tax invoice at month end.

  • 30-day account terms after the first month
  • Per-hire job codes that flow onto the invoice
  • Nominated drivers with no additional-driver fee
  • Priority replacement if a vehicle goes down

What renters tell us

4.9 average across 340+ hires

Landed at Tullamarine at 11pm and the car was in the short-stay with the keys in a lockbox, exactly where they said. Cleanest hire car I have had in years.
PRPriya R.Consultant, Hawthorn
We keep two utes on a monthly hire for site work. One invoice, job codes on every line, and they swapped a vehicle same-day when one needed a service.
JKJosh K.Bayside Plumbing
The price on the website was the price on the card. That should not be remarkable but it absolutely is.
DWDaniel W.Brunswick
Took the RAV4 down the Great Ocean Road for five days. Booked on a Thursday night, had it Friday morning, no fuss at all.
MLCMei Ling C.Glen Waverley
Been renting a Corolla Hybrid off them for rideshare since March. Rego, insurance and servicing all handled, and the weekly rate actually works out.

The Carnival fit five adults, three kids and all our luggage to Phillip Island. Three ISOFIX points already installed when we picked it up.

Your car is a search away.

Self-drive, long-term or rideshare-ready. Pick a car, pick a day, and we will have it waiting.
