How It Works

From Your Keys to Ours

Four stops, start to finish. Tell us you need a car when you book and we’ll line one up.

  1. Ask When You Book

    Mention you need a courtesy car when you book your repair. Subject to availability, so earlier is better.

  2. Drop Your Car In

    Bring your car to 132 Ellis Street. We’ll check you in and run through the quick paperwork.

  3. Grab the Keys

    Bring your driver licence. We hand over the keys, note the fuel and condition, and you’re away.

  4. Swap Back

    When your car’s ready we call you. Return the courtesy car with similar fuel and collect yours.
