Car share is a modern mobility model that allows people to access privately owned vehicles for short periods through a secure digital platform. It connects local car owners with community members who need temporary use of a vehicle, making it easier to share existing resources rather than adding more cars to the road.

​

Bay Islands Car Share builds on this model as a community-driven platform that connects local vehicle owners with approved drivers looking for convenient, short-term access to a car. Owners list their vehicles on the platform, set their own availability, and receive bookings directly from other community members through our secure digital system.

​

Our platform takes care of the technology, security, and convenience — from digital key access to cashless payments and insurance coverage arranged under an APRA-approved policy. The booking itself is an arrangement directly between the vehicle owner and the driver, while Bay Islands Car Share provides the trusted digital framework and support that make the exchange possible.

​

Bay Islands Car Share earns revenue through membership fees for use of the platform. We do not rent vehicles ourselves — instead, we enable peer-to-peer lending between members of the community in a safe, insured, and compliant way.

​

By reducing idle time for underused vehicles, Bay Islands Car Share helps create a more efficient use of existing transport resources. Every shared vehicle means fewer cars need to be parked long-term, reducing congestion and demand for parking spaces around Redland Bay Marina. In this way, our platform not only connects people — it contributes to a more sustainable and balanced local transport network.
