Formerly has more letters than priorly, so how are they going out of their way?
How to add that code and where to add?
On the last page when you’re about to checkout/pay, you should be able to enter a coupon code.
thanks! worked for my account. credit is up to $100 at time of booking. will still need to pay for km travelled
So it doesn't cover that? I didn't read T&C, but instantly assumed "$100 off the trip" covers all the cost.
$100 will get you a decent car for two days.
Kilometres, which includes the fuel, are usually 33-45c, so $33-45 for 100 kms, which is 2-3x more expensive if you borrowed from a friend or rented from Euro/Hertz/Budget and refuelled it.
actually i am mistaken, i checked my account and i have the left over credit available. so the $100 credit can be used towards fuel as well
That's good then.
$100 will get you a decent car for a day and 100-200 kms.
That car may not be next door - some people are asking crazy money - see the comment below.
I'll use this once for coupons, but the cars that are actually available near me are so bad. $60 a day + 45c/km for an old toyota yaris? Over $100 a day for a 10 year old hatch?
Hopefully post-Christmas the popularity dies off and people start putting their decent cars up to help cover inflation costs.
You'd be an idiot to put up a decent car, the wear isn't worth it
Same could be said of being an uber driver, yet people still do it because they're cash strapped and their car is their only asset they can make money off.
If it's properly insured and you make a couple of grand a year out of it I could see some people doing it. It'd pay for the servicing costs.
Not the same when you're driving the car vs someone else driving.
Remember when ride sharing was ride sharing and not a taxi. Remember when an air b&b was a someone's actual house not an investment property acting as hotel rooms. If there is money this will just become people buying cheap cars for the purpose of renting them.
I've got no doubt, Uber have even set it up with that in mind by giving a higher margin to those who rent it out more and encouraging it for people who don't drive a car much.
Buy an ex-govt Camry hybrid (or even a new car with an unlimited km warranty), use a parking pass/find free 24/7 parking and you're done. Try price it to make $5-10k a year, turn around and sell it after 3-4 years, pocket the profit. Basic the Avis model without the overheads they have (instead giving 25% to Uber).
I imagine Uber will start throwing out notifications of "hey, your share car is doing nothing, why not do some deliveries/rides to earn extra cash?" or "someone wants to rent your car, why not take a night off doing rides and earn money doing nothing?". Basically make it a commercial vehicle.
possibly you can book multiple trips using the credit if you want. once you make a booking you get $100 driving credit applied to your account which expires in 3 months
If carnextdoor didn't approve my application, do I have a better chance with ubershare?
Not sure, Mine was approved without any problem. Give it a go.
Thanks so much for this. Have a trip coming up where normal rental options were 500+ for the duration. This allowed me to get something for less than 200, plus the .45 per KM of course, but still a considerable saving!
This is the old carnextdoor co, and the worst company I've dealt with, I'm still chasing them to follow up on a non a fault claim they auto charged me for 6 months ago, when they have been provided the responsible parties insurance case no since day 1 and refuse to do anything, won't connect me to a supervisor…
Why would you go out of your way to say “priorly” instead of “formerly”?
The screenshot literally says “formerly car next door”. Triggered my inner grammar Nazi. Sorry.
