What this page covers

This page summarises key information for weekly vehicle hire from Easy Ride Australia. It is intended to help you understand the main points before requesting a quote.

Your vehicle-specific written quote and rental agreement set the complete terms for your hire. Read them before paying. If a detail on this page differs from the agreement provided for your hire, ask us to clarify it in writing before you proceed. Nothing on this page excludes rights that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law.

Vehicles, locations and minimum term

Weekly hire is available in Sydney and Brisbane, subject to vehicle and date availability. Sydney pick-up areas are Lakemba and Eastgardens. Brisbane pick-up areas are The Gap and Underwood. We confirm the exact available pick-up location and instructions for your vehicle before payment.

The minimum hire term is two months. Hire is billed weekly. The specific vehicle, start date, term and availability are confirmed in your written quote.

• Tesla Model 3: $400 for 2024 and older; $450 for 2025 and newer.
• Tesla Model Y: $450 for 2024 and older; $500 for 2025 and newer.

First transfer, weekly payments and bond

Before vehicle collection, the first bank transfer combines the refundable AUD $1,500 security bond and the first week of hire. For vehicles with a published weekly rate, this is AUD $1,900–$2,000. The exact amount and bank details are stated in your written quote. No payment is taken by this website.

After the first week, weekly hire payments are due every seven days on the same weekday as your pick-up. Your quote or agreement confirms the amount and payment instructions. After the first payment clears and your ID check is approved, allow 2–3 days for vehicle preparation and remote-access setup. We confirm your collection timing through WhatsApp.

After you return the vehicle, we inspect it and initiate the bond release within three to four days. Deductions may apply under your written rental agreement. Your bank may take additional time to process the release.

Driver eligibility and permitted use

Drivers may apply from age 18. Easy Ride does not require a minimum period of licence-holding. Driver identity, licence validity and other checks still apply before a vehicle is released.

Use for Uber rideshare (VTC) and Uber Eats delivery is accepted by Easy Ride. You remain responsible for meeting any platform, permit and legal requirements that apply to your driving or delivery work.

Insurance and excess

The stated insurance excess is AUD $25,000. Insurance coverage, exclusions, driver eligibility, claim steps and any amount payable in an incident are governed by the applicable policy and your written rental agreement. Please read those documents carefully before paying; ask us for clarification if any point is unclear.

Kilometres, tolls, fines and vehicle condition

Kilometres are included in the hire. The vehicle must be returned clean and in the condition in which it was supplied, allowing for ordinary use. Your written agreement provides the inspection and return instructions.

You are responsible for tolls incurred during your hire and traffic fines attributable to your use of the vehicle. An AUD $25 administration fee applies for each traffic fine transferred to the responsible driver, in addition to the fine itself.

Remote pick-up and vehicle access

There is no counter or physical key handover. After your first payment clears and your identity check is approved, allow 2–3 days for vehicle preparation and remote-access setup. Easy Ride confirms the exact pick-up time and location through WhatsApp. Tesla vehicles use the Tesla app; other models use the relevant dedicated vehicle app. You will need a compatible phone and app access to unlock and start the vehicle.

Changes, cancellation, damage and other contract details

Your written rental agreement sets out the rules for changing or cancelling a hire, returning early, late payment, breakdowns, accidents, damage, charging, condition inspections and any related charges. Those details depend on the agreement for the vehicle you select. We will provide the applicable agreement for review before you pay; contact us if you need a term explained.

Ownership plans are separate

Weekly hire does not transfer vehicle ownership. If you are interested in an ownership plan, its upfront contribution, monthly payments, total payable and transfer conditions are set out separately in a vehicle-specific written plan. See the ownership plan page for indicative examples.
