Car Share – Owners
Hire out your car to your neighbours. (Cars must be less than 15 years old and worth less than £40,000)
We have created a community car club so that only residents with an OX33 postcode can join in.
All you have to do is:
- Register your car with Hiyacar.co.uk who administer the scheme
- There is no fee to register
- Set the daily rate you want to charge e.g £30 per day (the hourly charge is one-tenth of daily charge)
- Say when your car is available to be borrowed
- Specify the minimum and maximum length of time it can be hired (usually between one hour and one week)
- Wait for bookings to be made
- Hand over the keys (all fuel used should be replaced by the hirer)
Hiyacar will:
- Vet all potential hirers
- Arrange all insurance for the duration of the hire
Car Share – Hirers
Now you can hire a car from just round the corner. (Hirers limited to those aged 25-75). We have created a community car club so that only residents with an OX33 postcode can join in.
Ideal for short-term use (from 1 hour up to 1 week)
All you have to do is:
- Register with Hiyacar.co.uk who administer the scheme
- Pay a £9.45 fee which is refundable if you hire a car within one month of registering (the fee covers a credit check).
- Go on the App and find a car when you want it.
The cost of hiring will include:
- The hourly/daily rental charge
- Insurance cost, arranged by Hiyacar for the length of your hire
- Booking Fee varies with time, but around £10 is typical
- There is no separate fuel charge – hirers must replace any fuel used.
Rental charge and insurance vary according to car hired, driver and length of hire (see examples below).
