Car Hire Directory NZ & Australia — Keep Your Profits, Keep It Simple
If you’ve got a car, van, classic ride, or party bus for hire, chances are you’ve searched for where to list it online. Big car booking platforms might promise the world but they often take a big chunk of it in commissions.
But wait! Not all listing options are created equal. Enter: the humble directory (that’s us 👋), where you keep your profits and your sanity.
Let’s break down the difference no jargon, no fluff, just facts (and maybe a touch of Kiwi and Aussie sass).
Booking Platforms: Slick, But at a Price
Booking platforms act as middlemen. They handle payments, bookings, sometimes even insurance… and they make sure they take their cut.
❌ What that really means for you:
- 20%–30% commission (sometimes more!) taken from every single booking.
- You don’t get the customer’s details until the payment’s cleared through the platform.
- They hold your money — often earning interest on it until the job’s done. You wait. They earn.
- Licenses and insurance hoops that delay your listings going live.
- Monthly fees + commission a double whammy.
Sure, it’s convenient, but that convenience comes with a steep price tag especially if you’re a small operator or just starting out in Auckland, Sydney, or Melbourne.
Directories: Keep It Simple, Keep Your Profits
Now let’s talk about directories (like ours 😎). We keep it easy you list your vehicle, customers find you, and you take it from there.
Why directories just make sense:
- No commission You keep 100% of your booking income. Every time.
- Direct contact Customers reach out to you directly. No middlemen.
- You’re in control Your prices, your terms, your schedule.
- No unnecessary gatekeeping You handle your own licenses and insurance.
- Affordable visibility Get listed for less than your weekly pint or flat white.
Our directory connects vehicle owners with people searching for film cars in Auckland, vintage rentals in Wellington, supercar hire in Sydney, classic car hire in Melbourne, and beyond.
So What’s the Catch?
Honestly? There isn’t one. We’re not middlemen , we’re matchmakers. We connect people looking for cool cars, vans, and unique rides with the people who have them (that’s you).
No profit-sharing. No hoops. No waiting. Just direct bookings, direct payments, and full control of your business.
Final Thoughts: Don’t Pay to Give Your Money Away
If you’re happy giving away 20% of your earnings every time someone books you- cool, you do you.
But if you’d rather:
- Keep more of what you earn
- Talk directly to your customers
- Get paid on your terms
- Pay less than your weekly pub round to advertise
- And actually grow your car hire business across NZ and Australia…
Then a directory like ours might just be your new best friend.
