Why more Melburnians are choosing MG over Toyota and Hyundai hire

MG vehicles offer comparable — or better — safety ratings to mainstream Japanese alternatives at significantly lower daily hire rates. The MG HS at $60/day competes directly with Toyota RAV4-class SUVs typically available for $80–$100/day at national chains.

All MG models in our fleet come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard — something not guaranteed on older Camry or Corolla-generation Toyotas at equivalent price points.

MG's 5-star ANCAP vehicles (MG HS and, for Dec 2025+ builds, the MG ZS) meet the same safety threshold as premium Japanese alternatives — at a fraction of the hire cost.

For ride-share drivers especially, the MG HS at $60/day represents one of the best value 5-star ANCAP daily hire rates in Melbourne.

Which MG for which platform?

Different models qualify for different ride-share platforms. Here's the quick guide.

ModelPriceANCAPUberX
MG HS$60/day5-star (2019) Yes
MG ZS$58/day5-star (Dec 2025+ builds) Yes
MG ZST$62/day4-star (2017)No
MG3$50/day4-star (Apr 2025+ builds)No

UberX requires a minimum 5-star ANCAP rating. MG ZS builds from 4 December 2025 achieve 5 stars — confirm build date when enquiring.

MG hire for Melbourne road trips

Beyond ride-share, our MG fleet is popular for weekend getaways and day trips across Victoria. Here's what works well:

Great Ocean Road

MG HS or MG ZS, 3 hours from Melbourne. Comfortable highway cruise, plenty of boot space.

Yarra Valley

Any MG model. 1 hour east, wine country, easy Sunday drive.

Mornington Peninsula

The MG HS handles the beach-house trip with 5 people and luggage.

Frequently asked questions

Which MG models are UberX eligible?
The MG HS (5-star ANCAP 2019) is UberX eligible. The MG ZS is UberX eligible for vehicles built from 4 December 2025 (5-star ANCAP 2024). The MG ZST and MG3 are 4-star ANCAP and are not eligible for UberX — but are approved for DiDi, Ola, GoCatch and 13cabs.
What is the difference between the MG ZS and MG ZST?
The MG ZS is a naturally aspirated compact SUV, while the MG ZST has a sportier look and a 1.3-litre turbo engine. Both seat 5 and are automatic. The ZS is $58/day and achieves 5-star ANCAP on Dec 2025+ builds. The ZST is $62/day with a 4-star ANCAP rating.
Is the MG3 approved for ride-share?
Yes. The MG3 is approved for DiDi, Ola, GoCatch and 13cabs. Vehicles built from April 2025 carry a 4-star ANCAP rating. The MG3 does not qualify for UberX (which requires 5 stars). It's also an excellent choice for food delivery platforms.
Do I need to confirm the build date for the MG ZS?
Yes, if you plan to drive for UberX. The MG ZS achieves 5-star ANCAP on builds from 4 December 2025. When you enquire, let us know you need UberX eligibility and we'll confirm the build date of the available vehicle.
Is insurance included?
Yes. All MG hire vehicles include comprehensive insurance in the daily rate. An excess applies in the event of an at-fault accident.
Which MG is best for a beginner starting on Uber?
The MG HS is our recommendation for new UberX drivers — it's 5-star ANCAP, has a comfortable cabin for passengers, and the $60/day rate is competitive. The MG ZS is only UberX eligible for builds from December 2025 — confirm build date before choosing it for UberX.
Can I hire an MG for a week in Melbourne?
Yes — weekly and longer-term rates are available and work out cheaper per day than daily rates. Contact us to discuss.
How does the MG HS compare to the MG ZS for hire?
The MG HS is slightly larger, UberX eligible without any build-date caveat, and has a panoramic roof. The MG ZS is $2/day cheaper but only UberX eligible for vehicles built from December 2025. For ride-share, the MG HS is the simpler, safer choice. For everyday hire, the ZS is great value.
