that is mileage. i think the hirer also has to pay for fuel
Better grow exponentially and take a foot hold on the country before Turo comes along.

Copied from the email they sent me when I signed up
Turo is already here tho.
Oh thanks didn’t know that

What could possibly go wrong?
Is this the old "Car next door"?
if uber carshare couldnt get this to work i wonder how these guys think they can
Car next door did pretty good I think
$25 Discount on Your First Booking (Peer to Peer Car Sharing / Rental) @ Drive Mate
What Is a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Service? A peer-to-peer (P2P) service is a decentralized platform whereby two individuals interact directly with each other, without intermediation by a third party
So it's not Peer to Peer as you're required to interact with a third party (Drive Mate), or am I overlooking something?
That's how the car sharing industry calls it, Uber used that term too. Drive Mate also uses that term on their app download and FAQ page.
It's also used on the ATO website,
https://www.ato.gov.au/businesses-and-organisations/income-d…
"When you share (rent or hire out) your car through a peer-to-peer car sharing platform, such as Uber Carshare, Turo or DriveMyCar Rentals, you need to declare all your income in your tax return"
and all your expenses including depreciation, maintenance and consumables.
$100m down the drain uber. M
$100 mil is NOTHING to them…. its what they would spend on janitorial services
Well they killed an perfectly alternative hire means the bastards
Did uber buy carnextdoor to kill it or was the model doomed from the start?
I used carnextdoor a couple of times. Was actually pretty affordable and convenient from a very occasional user perspective.
Good question they in direct competition , interesting they spent the time fully integrating it into their app to just sunset it
Car nextdoor was so dependable !!
Uber killed car nextdoor because as a company they want to move to zero emissions platform in the next 2 decades
It's our goal to be a zero-emissions and low-packaging-waste platform by 2040.*
Intriguing.
So I found a statement by Uber where they declared, in 2020, to be zero emissions
https://www.uber.com/us/en/about/sustainability/
Then later in 2022, they announce their acquisition of Car Next Door 2 years later. A platform filled with a range of cars, most of them ICE.
Weird move if you want to be zero emissions!
But convenient to close up a competitor to your ride share business.
who pays for fuel?
