Carsharing and KOBA Insurance:

KOBA is the one of the only Australian insurers that actively support the car sharing industry. In 2022, KOBA created a partnership with Uber Carshare (formally Car Next Door) to build a product specifically for Uber Carshare customers.

Designed for Car Sharing:

Uniquely designed with Uber Carshare, KOBA offers car share owners pay-per-KM insurance when they’re using their car. Owners get comprehensive coverage which covers their car while it’s parked between bookings, and a unique per-KM rate for insurance while driving.

Synced with Instant Keys Technology:

KOBA works with Uber Carshare’s Instant Keys GPS device^.

By automatically switching between KOBA and Uber Carshare, our integrated tech distinguishes when your car is used for personal use and measures the KM you drive so you, as the owner, pay for the insurance you use.

As a KOBA customer, you pay a few cents per KM you drive, and an upfront cost to cover your car while parked for incidents like theft, fire, hail, etc.

You can download the KOBA app to track trips, costs and policy docs.
