Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I am eligible to get a subscription vehicle?


Simplr car subscription is far more accessible than alternatives like car finance or lease arrangements. Even if you have poor credit history, it’s likely you can still be approved for a Simplr car subscription membership.

We consider every application individually, but there are also some basic criteria that all subscribers need to meet:

  • Hold a valid Australian (P2 or above) or equivalent international driver’s license that has not been cancelled or suspended in the past 3 years;
  • Be at least 21 years old and not over 75 years old;
  • Have at least 12 months driving experience;
  • Not use any subscription vehicle for the purpose of operating a ridesharing service;
  • Not have had any criminal, drink or drug driving convictions in the last 5 years;
  • Not have made two or more motor insurance claims in the last 3 years.
