The cost of living is going up, and getting around gets harder as you age. That means seniors spend more money than they should while struggling to get around, because transport wasn’t designed with seniors in mind.

But with an ageing population, we can’t keep giving seniors second class service.

At GoGet, we help seniors get more freedom and save money, by offering seniors car hire on a plan with $0 membership fees.

Cars for older drivers: More expensive than ever

What are the best cars for older drivers? Truthfully, the best cars for elderly drivers is a car you don’t own.

Our second most expensive things are our cars (after your home). With the skyrocketing costs of cars in Australi, even a small car costs well over $8000 per year according to RACV. The price goes up considerably if you own a bigger car - and we know that Aussies are increasingly buying bigger cars.

GoGet makes that cost optional. GoGet gives you access to cars on-street or in car parks all over the city, which you can use just like a normal car. You can book GoGets by the hour or day, so the service is often cheaper than owning a car, or a second car.

But GoGet is more than just one great car for older drivers – we give seniors a huge range of vehicles. Seniors can hire hatchbacks, SUVs, utes, vans and people movers! We also pay for fuel, maintenance, insurance, and rego, which makes life as an older driver much easier!

There are no joining or ongoing membership fees for seniors, and no fixed contracts! That means it’s risk free to join GoGet, and see how it suits your life.

GoGet covers these costs and hassles:

Seniors Car Hire: An expensive alternative

Before car share, seniors who didn’t own a car would need to rent a car when they needed to drive somewhere. Car rental for seniors is an option, but it means getting to a car hire office, waiting in a queue, filling out forms, and proving your driving experience.

But GoGet is different. GoGet isn’t seniors car hire – it’s seniors car share.

As a GoGet member on our GoSenior plan, you only need to prove your identity once, when you sign up, which you can do from the comfort of your lounge room! After that, you just book your nearest car online, then go straight to the car when you need to use it. No need to visit a car rental depot, no paperwork, no minimum booking periods and no need to fit in with car rental opening hours - our cars can be hired 24/7, 365 days per year. And for as little as an hour.

GoGet for older drivers: For a vacation or everyday

The real reason why GoGet is a better option than car hire for seniors is because GoGet car share isn’t just for holidays!

Because most GoGet members pay a regular monthly fee (not seniors though!) we’re able to offer low hourly rates, which car rental companies just can’t compete with! But we extend the GoGet convenience to vacations and weekends away by offering competitive daily rates as well.

All this means you can use a GoGet for a trip to the shops, as well as a trip to the mountains! No matter why you’re on the road, GoGet gives you easy and affordable access to the right vehicle. Considering how cheap our seniors car hire rates are, this makes life more affordable and easier than ever!

The best car for elderly drivers is a GoGet

Our seniors car share plan has zero upfront or membership fees and no lock-in contracts. That means there’s zero risk in joining GoGet, and seeing how the service works for you. We’re pretty sure it’ll work for you but if you find it doesn’t, you can leave at any time.

Whether you use GoGet to replace your first or second car, or as an extra option when you need to get somewhere quickly, GoGet can work for you. Zero membership fees for seniors gives you that flexibility!

Just find your nearest GoGet car, then join GoGet by clicking the button below. You can cancel at any time. But we think you’ll like the service so much you’ll stick with us, just like the thousands of senior citizens already using GoGet carshare in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane!
