Mileage is the total number of kilometres you’re allowed to drive during your rental. Drive mate uses a hybrid mileage model, depending on the type of trip you book:
Daily trips → Upfront full trip price
Hourly trips → Distance is charged at the trip end
Daily Trips
How payment works
You pay the full trip price upfront when booking.
Every daily booking includes 250 km per day.
What can be charged after your trip
Extra distance (if you exceed 250 km/day)
Late return fees (if applicable)
Excess mileage
Any distance over 250 km per day is charged at $0.55 per kilometre.
Note - If you go over the included distance, extra charges will apply based on Drive mate’s Fees and Fines Policy.
Hourly Trips
How payment works
You pay for the trip duration upfront.
Distance driven is calculated after the trip ends.
After your trip
Distance travelled is charged based on actual usage.
Late return fees may apply if the vehicle is returned late.
