Quick answer: For most Uber drivers in Sydney, a Toyota Corolla Hybrid or Camry Hybrid gives the best balance of fuel savings, passenger comfort and weekly cost. If you want lower running costs and can charge easily, a Tesla Model 3 is worth a look. At Turn Right, rideshare rentals start from $270 per week including GST.
What makes a good rideshare car?
- Low fuel or charging costs: fuel is your biggest weekly expense after the car itself
- Comfortable back seat and boot: passengers rate comfort, and airport trips need luggage space
- Reliability: every day off the road is lost income
- Meets Uber’s vehicle requirements for the ride types you want to drive
