  Petr•April 2026•

• Great car, no issues. Just wanted to point out that when I picked up the car the fuel range on the middle range said there was 80km and I’m returning the vehicle with 90km. Thank you, great service you’re providing.

  Austin•March 2026•

• Definitely recommend Great service great host

  Vijai•March 2026•

• Thank you Barry very nice guy

  Banned user•March 2026•

• Car was great just returning the vehicle was abit of a hassle finding spots. Car had very little petrol when collected which required you to fill in gas.

  Kumar•March 2026•

• Easy pick up via Barry. Ute was ideal for our needs and in good condition. Drove nicely!

  Asher•March 2026•

• Using this ute and dealing with the host was a very pleasant experience. The only reason I provided a rating of 4 stars was that I spent over 35 minutes driving around the streets of Dee Why trying to find a place to park the ute on return. Ideally, having a dedicated parking space or return point would make it a lot easier for hirers at the end of the hire period. This is the only thing that made an otherwise enjoyable experience problematic.

  Robert•March 2026•

• Excellent car

  Damian•March 2026•

• Unfortunately the car broke down on me 😔

  Banned user•March 2026•

• Great first time experience, will definitely use again!

  Gerrit•March 2026•

• Barry was very responsive. We needed a car while ours was in the workshop for an unexpected fix and his Q3 served us well . Will be renting from him again when we need a second car for weekend sports

• Was nice car and very affordable

  Banned user•February 2026•

• Barry’s van was affordable and a smooth easy drive. Perfect for moving bulky furniture. I had some trouble with the App crashing which had nothing to do with him, never less he was responsive , super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

  Monique•February 2026•

• Another great hire thanks Barry 😊

  Trina•February 2026•

• Easy van to drive.

  Jason•February 2026•

• The car was smooth to drive and good for the price

  Helida•February 2026•

• The car was smooth to drive, and exactly as described

  Helida•February 2026•

• A great car to drive, very comfortable and clean. It was parked exactly where it said on the app and there’s parking around if anyone drives there and needs to leave their own car. Excellent when it came to getting a reply to my messages Barry is lovely.

  Maria•February 2026•

• Great host

  Vijai•February 2026•

• Definitely recommend!

  Vijai•February 2026•

• Good car that we used for 2 weeks as we were waiting for our car. Very useful. Good communication.

  Léo-Paul•February 2026•

• Oh boy I hate this app since it really doesn’t like to save bad reviews so I’m writing this again! I did not interact with the host Barry. That said this car is a death trap and will greet you with 5 different warnings popping up when it’s started… let’s review them, TLDR closer to the bottom. The hill start assist system doesn’t work, this means that the car will roll downhill as soon as you let go of the brake, making it much like a manual car…. Vehicle dynamics control system needs to be checked, this means you will slip and slide around while driving. Emission control system needs to be checked, this is just irresponsible for the environment. ABS needs to be checked, so good luck stopping quickly when it’s even mildly slippery outside. Transmission system needs to be checked. This one is surprisingly the MOST dangerous part. What happens is that sometimes the car won’t go because it won’t slip into gear after you stop, for instance at a light. To summarize, the car sometimes won’t go, probably won’t be controllable while driving, and you might not be able to stop. Also you might hit people while on a hill. The interior was well taken care of, but this thing is dangerous. Barry please fix the car or stop renting it out before someone is killed by this death trap of a car.

  Ross•January 2026•

• 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.

  Juan•January 2026•

  Helena•January 2026•

• Amazing. I used it for moving and it is perfect

  German•January 2026•

• 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🙏🙂

  Brandon•May 2025•

  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.
