Hello, I'm Barry.
Hello
I'm an experienced car sharing host with heaps of great reviews. My cars are in good condition, and offer a great variety to choose for your next adventure.. beaches, camping, visiting relos, commuting or moving stuff!
Vans, ute, 7 seater, SUV, luxury, smaller cars.
My cars are parked in Dee Why, North Manly on Sydney's Northern Beaches. Also Mosman.
Bring your car and swap it with my hire cars, or simply travel here by the bright yellow banana bus.. B1 from the city.
The car was great for what I needed and the booking process was very easy.

Good car. No windshield wiper fluid. Wipers noisy. Lots of ants living in the car (walking most around the outside so there may be a nest in the motor but they also get inside at times). Overall good car thought.

Third time with this car, great for our trips.
Sarah•January 2026•
Great little runabout, Honda Jazz’s are very reliable and fuel efficient cars🙂
The drivers side window motor was a bit slow when winding up past the halfway mark, so probably better off leaving it up, just incase it stops working.
I have already let the owner know.
Apart from that the owner was very pleasant to deal with and the car was FANTASTIC!
Highly recommended🥳
Thank you so much🙏🙂

Car was great. It was in the location as stated on the app. Just the app didn't let me conduct the pick up process (again) so I had to manage via phone call and email but the service people were nice and helpful.
Vedran•May 2025•
great car for transporting furniture. rear view camera super helpful.
Brandon•May 2025•
Car ran well as expected, however, the AC blowing warm air and it was hot on Saturday.
The petrol was very low but not owners fault. And the inside was sandy/dusty but again that is fine for a service like this.
Everything else was smooth.
Alexander•April 2025•
Nice car. Easy to drive

sofia•February 2025•
Horrible experience.
I rented a Holden Captiva through DriveMate, and when I first picked up the car, everything was working - I was able to start it and drive a little bit to Coles Dee Why. However, after parking, the car wouldn’t start again, showing the message "electronic key not detected."
I immediately contacted DriveMate support, and they confirmed that it was an issue on their end that needed to be fixed. However, even after 5 days, they never resolved the issue and completely ignored my calls and messages. The car owner also did not answer a single call or message.
Additionally, when I picked up the car, it had no fuel and was quite dirty inside.
To make things worse, DriveMate refuses to issue me a refund. This experience has been extremely frustrating, and I would not recommend this service.
Ksenia•February 2025•
The car was running good, but air conditioning wasn’t working at all.
And the car wasn’t clean at the time of the pick up.
Douglas•February 2025•
Vehicle wasn’t clean, food crumbs and sticky surfaces. Nearly no fuel in there.
Although this car isn’t in good condition. I would have expected some basic cleaning, as it is expected from the owner..!
Otherwise practical car for short/city trips.
CHARLES•February 2025•

Barry was a great guest. The car had low fuel and he made sure to let me know and returned the fuel at a better level and was reimbursed for it.
