This is an estimate with your own numbers, not a promise of income. Earnings change with time of day, demand and the app's fees. Set money aside for income tax and GST.

How to use it

  1. Pick how you will work: passengers (Uber, DiDi), food delivery by car, or delivery by scooter.
  2. Change the example earnings per hour to what your driver app shows you after its fee. If you are new, ask other drivers or start with a low number.
  3. Adjust fuel. A small hatchback on city trips uses much less fuel than an SUV.
  4. Tick the 8+ week offer if you plan to rent for 8 weeks or more: your first 2 weeks are half price (from $80 a week).

What is included in the QuickVan rental

  • Unlimited kilometres, so long shifts do not cost extra.
  • Routine servicing on long-term hires, every 28 days.
  • Damage cover with a standard excess; optional Stress Free protection lowers the excess to $500.
  • A $500 bond, refunded within 10 business days after you return the car.

Costs people forget

  • Tax and GST: rideshare drivers need an ABN and GST registration. Keep part of every week aside.
  • Tolls and parking on airport and city trips.
  • Time without trips: waiting time is part of your hours online.

Common questions

How many hours do I need to drive to pay the weekly rental?

Divide the weekly rent by what you earn per hour. At $190 a week and $30 an hour that is about 6.3 hours. The calculator does it with your numbers, including fuel.

Is renting cheaper than buying a car for Uber?

For the first months it usually needs less cash: no purchase, no registration or repair bills, unlimited kilometres and servicing included on long-term hires. See our guide on renting versus buying.

Does the calculator include tax?

No. It shows what you keep before income tax and GST, so set money aside for both.
