Found this while looking at IKEA furniture and not wanting to pay for shipping but realising it might be best to use IKEA's delivery or Bunnings Hire Van etc.

Using this link, you get a free LIFETIME membership for their Free GoStarter Plan if you're an IKEA member
(although i wonder if you can just sign up with this link anyways- but IKEA membership is free anyways and get discounts)

Normal sign ups have the first year waived and then a $49 per year subscription.
Save yourself $49 per year and give yourself the option to use their rentals.

Can't see anything in the T's and C's, or in my account that I've just signed up for suggesting an ongoing membership fee.

Joining offer waives first-year membership fee for GoStarter plan when joining via the links on this page worth $49. GoGet membership T&Cs apply. Offer available for new members only. Subject to a pre-authorisation. No ongoing membership fees for the lifetime of your membership, saving you $49 each year. Cancel at any time. Offer expires 1st October 2027.

NOTE: GoGet Carshare currently only operates in Sydney, Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong, Melbourne, Brisbane and Gold Coast.

Update 16 Sep 2026: GoGet Carshare has re-commenced operations in Canberra.

    free LIFETIME membership

    That's a bit pointless. Why don't you put the net hiring cost so people can make informed decisions.

    It's like HP giving out free printers or charging a nominal amount. It's the usage cost (ink, their chips and firmware) that results in so many HP printers put out for council clean up.

      Unlike a printer, this doesn't take up space on your desk and you don't have to use it, if you don't like it.

      I've signed up for this like 10 years ago and used it maybe 3-4 times. Not a bad deal.

        Ive had van double booked, to then be move to a vehicle that was not accessible due to the operating hours of the location, only finding out after walking all the way over there. No smartcards inside to use, so they direct you to another card to get one. Being hit up for $5000 for damages (to an already beat up piece of crap) saying "the previous driver said it wasnt there when he dropped it off", where i asked for proof and they said no. Told them i will see them in court. Then to top it off, a random charge on my card and was told i went through tolls, where i told them the closet toll to me is 200kms away, bit hard on a 25km round trip, took weeks to get that refund.

          Frustrating.

          Doesn't help all those situations but for others reading - leave yourself enough time to take pics all around the car before starting and after returning. Same process for rental vehicles.

            @caperite: Yeah but this proves nothing. How do you prove when the photos were taken? How do you prove you didn't take the photos and then key the side of the car?

            When renting a car I always make sure I get someone from the company to come and inspect the car in person and then hand to keys directly back to them. If that's not an option - I don't hire from them.

                I've done this in the past for exit reports at rentals.

                But it still doesn't help for car returns. Who's to say you didn't take the photos in the morning and then wreck the car in the afternoon?

                Unless you physically hand the keys back to someone who has verified the car, you're still at risk.

                  With a newspaper, you would need to forfeit collecting entirely. Ie. Report it first thing. If you do crash it later,.or see something later. It's on you..

                    How do you prove it wasn't you that smashed the window straight after taking the photo? You can't.

                      If you return the vehicle at a time stamped time frame. Photo evidence taken.

                      Then damage after is not your problem.

                      If they don't have any way to establish when you "drop the vehicle off".. see above re who's problem it is.

                      @PainToad: Your evidence doesn't have to be 100% reliable. If it goes to court, they have to proof that it was you who caused the damage, not the other way round. The other side will likely have no evidence at all. That means your somewhat reliable evidence will be very helpful.

            If I were a betting man, I would say they claim off whoever doesn't have proof and never fix the van. I think that's what Hertz got caught doing a few years back, but I could be wrong.

    I've had mixed experiences with goget. Most of the time it's fine, I've only hired vans and they're all beat up so you need to allow time to document everything though I've never had them try and claim damages. I have however turned up one time to find the vehicle had been broken into and couldn't get another. Another time they cancelled my booking less than 24 hours before hand, didn't even try and rebook something else for me and when I called and complained they wanted to charge me more for the next closest vehicle. Their pricing is all over the place so pay attention to not only the annual fee but the actual rental free as free plans typically have higher rental rates. It is convenient though when everything works as it should.

      I've used the same van twice recently to move furniture (elderly mum moving out of her home). They sent me a discount voucher so the first rental was like $48 for 24 hours. The second time I only needed it for 4 hours but that was expensive. Overall a good experience.

      Also the second time, the van was really dirty inside. Someone had been moving leaky bags of concrete or dirt and if it wasn't that it was fluff everywhere. So I reported it, GoGet followed up and sent me an apology and said they'd cleaned it and taken it up with the previous renter. (no discount code though lol)

      They're fitted with an immobiliser, you can't start them with the key alone. The thing that's likely what they get broken into for is the fuel card left in them.

      Used to be free for the first year only then they auto billed you for the renewal as most people would forget about it. They've made more plans free on going now but I'd bet they've upped the rental fees to make up for it.

        I got the email in 2015 which was the first time they introduced the annual fee and the free first year.

        We’re introducing a $49 annual fee on the GoStarter plan. As you’re an existing member, you’ll be getting $49 driving credit to offset your first annual fee.
        Your next invoice - which you will receive over the next week - will include the annual fee for this year. (It will be charged annually in April.)

            i was already a member since 2014 when the email was sent.

            that email was a notification that they no longer offer this for free for IKEA Family member.

    goget/storelocal seems to be offering the same deal with a promo code, 30% off your first booking. not sure whether the promo code needs to be applied during registration or when making the booking

      T&Cs state "Must complete and submit your GoGet application by 30th of June 2027". So looks like this one's expired.

    It's showing "Free GoStarter" as current plan, is this correct? Or should just be "GoStarter"?

    So do you have to pay for each time you rent the vehicle?
    I'm confused why there'd be a membership fee if you had to pay each time anyway

      Think of it as paying for uber one but for renting cars/vans. They charge that subscription fee + additional fees as you use their service. That’s my guess at least.

    Is it cheaper than renting car?

    I didn't complete the ID verification and the next day it sent me a $50 voucher…. I'm in SA so that's why I didn't go through with the sign up, forgot they had pulled out of SA.

    Promo code is MUXJ50

    I signed my account, and they didn't even ask my IKEA member

    I think a normal car rental is cheaper in general. But this might be a good backup option.

    A strange thing that they not mentioned manual or automatic
