Just wondering what are the options now days to hire like a van for few hours or a day.
Back in the day, car next door used to be great. They got bought by Uber and then shut down.
Current options like CarNextDoor?

Thanks
They are pretty much the CarNextDoor model
There's plenty of options if you look online, GoGet, Pop Car, Toyota Kinto, Turo etc.
Depending on duration you should check out hire car places as my local charges $69 for a van mid week and $78 on the weekends.
Do you know which suburb is that?
I'm in South Sydney
The companies I listed above are across Sydney. You will need to check Hertz, SIXT, Avis etc and compare their rates.
Ok
Thanks
Turns out the lowest prices was just the beginning…
its uber carshare now, so didnt fully get shutdown
That did got shut down. Uber car share doesn't exist anymore
so uber carshare now is just rental agencies no private cars on offer then
Uber Carshare is gone, dead, finito, kaput
AI.
Uber Carshare is no longer available in Yarra City, or anywhere in Australia, as Uber shut down the service on September 12, 2024, according to Carsales and News.com.au. Uber cited "increasing costs and operational challenges" as the reason for the closure.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Closure: Uber Carshare officially closed in Australia on September 12, 2024.
Why? The decision was made due to increasing costs and operational challenges.
Impact: This closure has led many users to seek alternative car-sharing services.
Alternatives: Some popular alternatives include GoGet and Drive Mate.
Uber Rent: While Uber Carshare is gone, Uber Rent is still available for car rentals, using partners like Thrifty and Hertz.increasing costs and operational challenges
