Why choose the MG3?

It's not just the price — the MG3 genuinely delivers where it counts.

Melbourne's most affordable

At $50/day the MG3 is the cheapest car in our fleet — and one of the cheapest fully insured, well-maintained hire cars in Melbourne. No compromises on quality.

Apple CarPlay & Android Auto

Every MG3 in our fleet comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. Use Google Maps, Spotify, Waze or your favourite apps hands-free from day one.

Genuinely fuel efficient

The MG3's 1.5L petrol engine sips fuel — rated around 6.5L/100km combined. On a busy week of ride-share or delivery runs, that efficiency adds up to real savings.

New vehicles, always maintained

We run new MG3s. You're not getting an aging hatchback — you're getting a modern, well-equipped city car that passengers and delivery customers will appreciate.

Comprehensive insurance included

Every hire includes comprehensive insurance. An excess applies for at-fault incidents, but you don't need to arrange your own cover separately.

Always available

The MG3 is our highest-volume vehicle. We almost always have one ready same-day or next-day — no waiting weeks like you might with other hire companies.

Who is the MG3 for?

Everyday driving

Need a car for the week while yours is in for a service? Visiting Melbourne and want your own wheels? The MG3's compact size makes it easy to park in the city and inner suburbs.

DiDi, Ola & GoCatch ride-share

The MG3 (built from April 2025) carries a 4-star ANCAP rating and is fully approved for DiDi, Ola, GoCatch and 13cabs. UberX requires 5-star ANCAP — for Uber choose our MG HS or Toyota Camry.
