Hire and Drive Reimbursement Program

Up to $1 million has been allocated to the Hire and Drive Reimbursement Program (HDRP) to support hire and drive operators impacted by COVID-19 to re-establish their vehicle fleets. The program also encourages the sign-up of new vehicles to accredited car sharing platforms, Car Next Door and Evee. The program has been developed in recognition that increasing visitation to the state requires a greater supply of rental vehicles to be available for hire (without a driver supplied).

Grants of up to $1 000 per vehicle will be available to eligible applicants who add a new Motor Accident Insurance Board (MAIB) Premium Class 8 registration to their fleet, or to accredited car sharing platforms.

Applications close at 31 January 2022, or until available funds have been exhausted.
