Car share has maintained its popularity, steering users away from car ownership and offering an alternative method to get around. One car share company notes 3.5 million active guests globally, implying that the car share market remains strong[1].
KINTO's fleet of hybrid, modern vehicles sets it apart in the modern car share market, offering users a smart, flexible way to travel. With KINTO, you can rent a Toyota hybrid vehicle and enjoy the freedom to move without messy paperwork or keys.
We're breaking down the perks of KINTO, exploring its reliable fleet and showing you which KINTO you should hire for each occasion.
Why is car share popular?
You might think car share users are mostly international travellers, but one car share company noted that only 20-30% of their Australian user base was international travellers [1]. The remainder are everyday Australians who use car share services for their daily commute, work, errands, or trips.
Australian cities are becoming increasingly dense, with a growing number of people living in high-density areas. Not to mention, car ownership can be expensive, especially given the rising cost of living. With urban congestion increasing, owning a vehicle means competing for limited car parking space and incurring higher running costs, insurance, and maintenance expenses. And if you are a multi-car family, that can be double the costs.
Car share services like KINTO can offer a cost-effective solution, removing running costs while still offering the freedom to drive. Simply download the car hire app, create an account, and await approval. Then, you're ready to hit the road. All from your smartphone.

Efficiency of Travel Effects
Hybrid vehicles can optimise fuel efficiency by switching to electric mode when driving at low speeds. They also utilise regenerative braking to recharge the battery while driving. This means you won't have to stop as frequently to refuel, making your drive easier.

KINTO’s modern hybrid fleet comes equipped with modern comfort features that make your drive a whole lot more pleasant. These include:
- Whisper-quiet operation at low speeds
- Smooth acceleration from instant electric torque
- Modern systems with connectivity features and a fantastic sound system
- Enhanced ride quality with advanced safety features so you can drive confidently
Environmental Effects
Hybrid vehicles are more fuel efficient than traditional vehicle . Their reduced reliance on petrol and lower exhaust emissions indicate they produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional petrol or diesel cars [2].
And with 43% of Australians planning more holidays and 14% planning on spending more on car hire, hybrid vehicles align with cost-conscious travellers. Hiring a car share for your next trip? Book a KINTO through the easy-to-use car rental app.
