Key terms
- HandyDriver is a platform connecting customers with independent drivers to drive the customer's personal vehicle.
- HandyDriver does not own vehicles and is not a transport provider.
- Customers and drivers are responsible for meeting eligibility, insurance, and legal requirements.
Booking types and route rules
- Customers can create round trips, drop-off trips, and HandyDriver’s unique drop-off-your-car-without-you bookings.
- Round trips still require a destination so HandyDriver can estimate distance, recommend minimum booking hours, and validate long-distance route fit.
- Drop-off trips, including drop-off without you, must keep pick-up and destination in the same Australian state and include the configured driver conveyance fee.
- Recurring bookings are only available for same-state round trips.
- Cross-state round trips are only permitted for non-recurring bookings longer than 8 hours.
- Drop-off-without-you bookings require accurate receiver details and the receiver must share the one-time handover code before the trip can be completed.
Customer responsibilities
- Verify the driver's licence and identity before handing over your vehicle.
- Ensure your vehicle is legally registered, roadworthy, and comprehensively insured.
- Provide accurate pick-up, destination, booking hours, and receiver details where required.
- Review the estimated minimum-hours guidance and book a duration that reasonably covers the planned route.
- Complete payment before the applicable booking deadline.
- Do not create overlapping unpaid bookings for the same time window.
Driver responsibilities
- Maintain a valid full Australian driver's licence at all times.
- Keep availability, service areas, and calendar blocks accurate so only workable bookings are accepted.
- Review the trip type, route, and booked hours before travel and contact the customer if the booking duration does not reasonably match the journey.
- A 5% platform fee is deducted from each paid booking before payout credit.
- Never operate a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Payments and cancellation
- All prices are in AUD inclusive of GST.
- The platform charges $35 per hour.
- Live payments are processed securely through Stripe.
- Recurring bookings are charged per scheduled trip occurrence, not as one upfront series payment.
- Customer-side discounts, referral rewards, and promotions do not reduce the driver’s fixed trip value or driver invoice amount.
- If no driver accepts a request within the active request window, the booking is cancelled and the customer can book again later.
- Cancellation and refund outcomes depend on timing relative to trip start.
Governing law and contact
- These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.
