For freedom, flexibility and you’ll save thousands of dollars by not forking out on your own car. We pay for your registration, cleaning, maintenance, roadside assistance, even petrol. Just think of all the extra cash you’ll have to splash on fun stuff and important everyday needs like rent or running a business.
You can join as a personal member, a student or as a company or business. The application will only take a couple of minutes to put through, and you’ll receive a response in your email within a couple of days.
It only takes a few minutes to register to be a Flexicar member online. We’ll run a quick check of your driving record and you’ll be ready to drive usually within 48 hours or 2 busines days. (Please note that during periods when there is a high volume of applications, your application may take up to 3 business days to process.)
We will send you an email when you’re good to go.

To become a Flexicar member you must be a licensed driver aged 18 years or older. The only exclusions are:
– Learner drivers
– Under 25’s who have previously lost their licence
– Over 25’s who have lost their licence in the past three years.
Unfortunately as a Learner Driver you’re not able to become a Flexicar member or drive a Flexicar until you have your full licence (P-Plates).
If you are on P-Plates, you are responsible for bringing your own plates and display them in the Flexicar you are driving as required by law.
Yes. We may ask you for a copy of your passport or passport details, so make sure you keep an eye on your inbox for any emails from Flexicar and send the information as soon as you can.
Flexicar has no contracts or complicated policies and we do not lock our members in to minimum membership terms. We are flexible with options for introductory pay as you go plans and prepaid credit plans which will give you cheaper hourly rates for when you need to drive more. You can change these plans easily whenever you want, and you can cancel your membership when you would like to without any penalty.
When you apply for your membership, you will be asked to agree to Flexicar’s terms and conditions so please make sure you read them carefully.
Senior rate plans are available to those who hold a current Seniors Card and a copy must be provided to the Member Care Team for approval to join on this plan. Please contact info@flexicar.com.au for more information on how to join on this plan.

There is no joining fee to become a Flexicar member, you just need to pay your annual membership fee (returned in driving credit to your account) which includes comprehensive damage cover. You can even add additional drivers in your household membership with each driver needing to pay the annual membership fee and sharing your plan.
The great news is that if you are on a business account you do not need to pay the annual fee for your drivers. Once you’ve signed up, choose a plan suited to the amount of driving you want to do each month and only pay what you drive, per hour or per day. That’s all!
Damage cover is included in your $49 annual membership fee, or $35 if you’re a student. There is no additional payment required. This gives you fully comprehensive damage cover and free 24/7 roadside assistance. There is a Standard Damage Cover of $2000 for standard vehicles/ $3000 for Prestige and Commercial vehicles.
You can reduce your excess to $0 by opting to pay $2 an hour or $15 a day more on your bookings. If you’re on a Flexi Student plan, you can pay pay $2 an hour or $14 a day more on your bookings for your booking and reduce your excess to $0.
Damage cover excess for drivers aged under 25 is $3000. Excess can be reduced on standard vehicles to $1000 for $2/hour or $15/day, for drivers on Flexi Personal plans, or $2/hour or $14/day, for drivers on the Flexi Student plan.
Please note, Prestige, Vans and Utes are not included in the damage cover excess, and there is no option to reduce the excess to $0 on the vehicles.
Choose a Flexicar plan based on the amount of driving you expect to do on a monthly basis. We cover all your driving costs including registration, maintenance, cleaning, petrol and you get unlimited kms with every hourly booking.
If you’re not sure how often you’ll drive, our Flexi Sometimes plan is perfect for you – you only pay for a car when you use it, which means if you don’t drive at all in a month then you pay nothing at all.
With Flexicar, you pay for what you use, when you use it. You will receive an invoice straight after your booking for the total cost. The time amount of your booking will be calculated when you book and a pre-authorisation of the amount will be held on your dedicated payment method. Once you finish the booking, the amount will be debited. Easy driving, easy payments.
Yes. We don’t lock members into lengthy contracts. To change plans, you simply need to lodge a plan change request through your Account section. This will be instantaneous, and all future bookings will be updated to the new rate.
Any other insurance will not cover you for driving a Flexicar. You are covered under our comprehensive damage cover policy as a part of your annual membership fee.
Our cars are equipped with eTAGs. Toll charges will be charged to your account, plus a small $0.20 admin fee.
We want to be completely honest with you, while there are no hidden fees you may incur fees or fines if you do not adhere to the Flexicar membership terms and conditions. These fees will be charged to your payment method.
You will be responsible pay for any parking or speeding fines during your booking. All fines, plus an administration fee must be paid by the member.
For some time now bookings between 11pm and 7am were only charged for 1 hour (plus any excess kilometres) but unfortunately we have had to remove this offer. Removing this discounted period ensures that we can continue to keep our daytime rates low.
Our cars are located in their own parking spots called ‘pods’ throughout Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra.
We have different sized cars for different needs and they’re usually under 2 years old. Most of our cars have the usual features such as air conditioning, cruise control, Bluetooth and some even have a built in GPS!
All Flexicars are automatic.
Flexicar and Automobility have partnered to provide specially modified wheelchair access vehicles. We currently have two mobility vehicles in Melbourne.
Please note that drivers on P-Plates may need to apply to VicRoads for permission to drive the Audis as they have turbocharged engines.
Flexicar reserves the right to restrict members with less than 10 paid bookings without default payments from booking Prestige vehicles. Such bookings will be switched to the nearest available vehicle.
Download our app, jump on the Flexicar website or mobile website or call us and we’ll help you book (a $3 surcharge applies).
Choose the location you want to pick up your car from.
Book your car for a couple of hours, a whole day or even a long weekend (five-day maximum).
You can book at the last minute, or up to a year in advance.
If you need a car for longer than 5 days call our friends at Hertz on 13 30 39, tell them you’re a Flexicar member and you’ll receive a 10% discount on a booking of longer than 5 days anywhere in Australia… and 10% discount on any Hertz bookings overseas!
You can pick up your Flexicar any time after you receive the PIN code SMS which will arrive 15 minutes before your booking start time. If you do pick up your Flexicar before the dedicated start time of your booking, you simply pay the pro-rata cost of the additional minutes which will be added to your booking cost, dependent on your plan and vehicle choice. This is regardless of whether you return the vehicle earlier than the end time of your booking.
If you want to pick up your booked Flexicar more than 15 minutes earlier than the booking start time, you’ll need to give the friendly Member Care Team a call to do so. They will make sure that another member has not booked the Flexicar before you, and if so will provide options for other Flexicars in the area. Your final booking cost will be amended to cover the additional time.
If your chosen car isn’t available in the location that you want, there will be another one around the corner. We have over 400 Flexicars available around Australia and we select locations carefully to be able to provide Flexicars to you when you need them.
If you feel like you have a location that would benefit from a Flexicar pod nearby or you have any requests for models, send us an email at info@flexicar.com.au and let us know.
If you realise during your booking that you are going to be late returning the car, you can log on to our website or apps to extend your booking so long as there is no-one with another booking straight after you.
We do understand that things do happen and sometimes they’re beyond your control, so if you let us know you’ll be late at least 30 minutes before the end of your booking and there is no booking after yours, we can extend your booking without penalty. If you return the car late and there is another member waiting, and you haven’t told us that you will return the car late, then, unfortunately, there will be an additional fee.
You may also need to pay the reasonable costs incurred by the inconvenienced member (which may be the cost of a taxi). If you have any doubt about being able to make it, then book the car for extra time.
You can extend or shorten a booking before the beginning of your booking period without penalty if no other member has booked the car for that period. To avoid incurring any fees and inconveniencing another driver, you must cancel or change your booking at least four hours before your booking starts.
When you have driving credits on your account, all you’ll need to do is log in and make a booking like normal. The system will automatically use the credits that you have on your account. If the cost of your booking exceeds the amount of driving credits you have on your account, the remaining amount will be charged to your dedicated payment method.
Flexicars are parked in designated parking bays called ‘pods’. When you make a booking, you will book a car in a particular location and the details of the location will be sent to you on the booking confirmation email.
We’ve got super sleek Pin Pad technology installed on our Flexicars. When you make a booking, you will receive a SMS 15 minutes prior to the start time with a unique 6 digit PIN code in it. The PIN code will also be available in your Flexicar App. This is the access code that you will use to unlock and then lock your Flexicar at the start and end of your booking. Once you arrive at your Flexicar, simply enter the 6-digit PIN code into the Pin Pad which is under the windshield on the drivers’ side of the Flexicar. A green pulse means the PIN has been accepted and your Flexicar will unlock. Red means you may have entered the PIN incorrectly and may need to try again.
Use your car as you would your own through your booking by using the keys to lock and unlock. When you return your Flexicar and to finish your booking, just enter the PIN code into the Pin Pad to lock the doors. Easy!
At the start of your booking, you will need to unlock your car via your 6-digit PIN code that you will receive 15 minutes before the booking starts on the Pin Pad device. You’ll find the keys in the car. They will generally be in the drivers’ door pocket; check the console and glove box if they are not as the previous member may have left them somewhere else. Use the keys to lock and unlock the Flexicar during the booking. At the end of your booking, you leave the keys inside the driver’s side seat pocket, and lock the Flexicar with your 6-digit PIN code to lock the car and end your booking.
You can park your Flexicar in the car’s own allocated parking space. Unfortunately you cannot park in other Flexicar ‘pods’ though, as this would inconvenience other members driving other Flexicars. Personal vehicles are not permitted in the Flexicar bay at any time.
No. You’ll need to return your Flexicar to the same reserved parking bay that is on your booking.
Breakdowns are rare, as our cars are new and well maintained. But if it happens, please report it to Flexicar by calling us on 1300 36 37 80. Either the Flexicar team and/or roadside assistance will come out to the car.
We ask that members take all their rubbish with them at the end of their booking so that the car is clean for the next driver. If the car isn’t left reasonably clean, then you may be liable for cleaning fees.
You can drive a Flexicar as far as you like, every hourly booking includes unlimited kms and daily bookings include at least 100kms depending on your rate plan. After the first 100kms you will just be charged a per km fee for additional driving depending on what plan you’re on.
Yes, it’s important to not inconvenience other members by returning the car without fuel after your booking so please make sure to always check the fuel gauge at the beginning and before the end of your booking.
Petrol cards are located in your Flexicar, please see the Re:Member Manual kept in the driver-side door pocket for more information on using the petrol cards to fill up the car.
If you do return a car at the end of your booking with less than 1⁄4 in the fuel tank, you will incur a fine.
Unfortunately we cannot provide child seats, roof or bike racks. But you are welcome to use your own.
There is strictly no smoking in Flexicars. Drivers who do smoke in our cars will incur a fine.
We love pets at Flexicar, so we have special pet-friendly Flexicars, pets must still be carried in a pet carrier. There are some strict conditions for this and fines do apply if the car isn’t left in an acceptable condition. Don’t forget, some people are very allergic to animals, so please be considerate of other members.
No. If you let someone drive who isn’t an authorised Flexicar member then he or she won’t be protected by our damage cover and you will be charged a penalty.
If others in your household or business wish to join, they can be added to the same account, they will just need to join online and pay any applicable annual damage cover fees.
Flexicar is required by law to advise the relevant issuing authority of the identity of the driver if a driving infringement is incurred by our of our cars. We will pass on to you any infringements such as parking tickets, speeding fines, red-light, bus-lane violations and other official penalties plus a $25 admin fee.
If swiping is your thing, we have swipe cards – Flexicards – available to you for a small fee. Instead of using the PIN code, you swipe in and out on the top of the Pin Pad device to unlock and lock your Flexicar. You can have both: you’ll still be sent the PIN code before your booking, but can use either to access your Flexicar.
If you would like to request a Flexicard, just give our friendly Member Care Team a call on 1300 36 37 80. A Flexicard costs $9.99.
If you have an accident then you should:
1. Make sure the car is secure and inform the police and emergency services immediately on 000 if anyone is injured or if there’s a disagreement about the circumstances of the accident. It’s recommended that you don’t admit fault at this time.
2. If there are other vehicles involved, make a note of the car registration number and the names, addresses and licence numbers of the driver/s.
3. Make a note of the names and addresses of any witnesses.
4. Call Flexicar immediately on 1 300 36 37 80.
