- Uber Carshare is an Australian company that facilitates peer-to-peer car rental, a system by which individuals may rent privately owned vehicles on an hourly or daily basis to other registered users of the service. It currently operates in locations across Australia including Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Hobart, Canberra, Adelaide and Perth and announced (in 2016) plans to expand to other Australian cities and airports. The founders appeared on season 2 of the Australian Shark Tank TV show in 2016 and secured an investment from 'shark' Steve Baxter. The startup also secured a A$2.5 million investment from Caltex Australia (later Ampol) the same year. Hyundai invested in the company in 2019, and listed a number of its electric Ioniq vehicles for sharing through the platform. On 20 January 2022, the company was acquired by Uber for an undisclosed sum. This was Uber's first Australian acquisition. In November 2022, Car Next Door rebranded and started operating as Uber Carshare. Car Next Door had been operating independently since Uber's takeover, with co-founder Will Davies as chief executive, but the brand [Car Next Door] disappeared in early November, bringing to a close a journey that lasted 10 years since its beginnings in Sydney.
