Off the road means off the income. Here's how to minimise the time you lose.

For rideshare and food delivery drivers, every hour without a vehicle is lost earnings. The platform doesn't pause — your competitors are out there earning while you're without a car. Surge hours, weekend nights, airport runs: the income you miss while waiting for repairs can add up fast.

If the accident wasn't your fault, you shouldn't have to absorb that loss. You may be entitled to a like-for-like replacement vehicle with no upfront hire charge — arranged fast, delivered to your door, and managed by our Melbourne team who handle all insurer correspondence on your behalf.

Common not-at-fault situations for Melbourne rideshare drivers

If any of these sound familiar, you may be entitled to a replacement vehicle.

Rear-ended between fares

Waiting at lights or stopped for a pickup and hit from behind — one of the most common not-at-fault scenarios.

Passenger pickup collision

Another vehicle clips yours while you're collecting or dropping off a passenger at a pickup point.

Car park accident

Another driver backs into you or swings a door into your vehicle while you're parked.

Airport run collision

Accidents on CityLink, the Tullamarine Freeway or approach roads during airport pickups and drop-offs.

CBD intersection

High-density CBD traffic means higher accident rates. Failure-to-give-way collisions are common in the inner city.

Hit while parked

Your vehicle struck while parked between shifts, at a hub, or while you take a break.
