Frequently Asked Questions
Can I list my car and drive my sons friend to his school formal?
In short…yes. There are different state laws, restrictions and insurance requirements for certain events you will be using your car for. If you plan to use your vehicle for regular paid transport work, you will need a Driver Authorisation, please contact your state transport authority to ensure you have the correct information before you drive anyone to an event.
Do I have to change my insurance cover of my car?
We encourage all owners to talk with their insurance company before providing your vehicle for an event or transport. From our discussions with one of the largest Australian specialty insurance companies, they suggest you make contact and inform them of your plans, in most cases your insurance premium will not change.
Do I need an ABN for payment?
Freelancers are self-employed and require an ABN to operate. In order to provide your goods and services to clients you will need an ABN. If you make more than $75,000 per single tax year, you must also register for General Sales Tax (GST) as you need to charge your Australian customers GST. Your form of payment is at the discretion of the operator.
