Short answer:
How much you’ll pay in membership fees depends on which Sharing Plan you choose. There’s a free plan, a $19 plan, and a $119 plan (as well as a legacy plan for cars listed before 8 July 2019). Each plan makes it possible to earn money from your car, with different inclusions.

Changing your plan
You can change your sharing plan at any time, and the change will take effect from the beginning of the next billing cycle. If you think another plan is better for you, or have questions about the differences and which might be best, book a call with our Owner Experience team.
Legacy $60/month sharing plan (no longer available)
Cars listed before 8 July 2019 may be on our legacy $60/month sharing plan. This plan has the same inclusions as the Instant Keys Plus+ sharing plan, with the only difference being the Owner's share of time income. Owners on the Legacy plan receive 50% of the first $240 in hourly and daily earnings each month, and 75% of hourly and daily earnings after that. There's a minimum availability requirement for cars on this sharing plan: cars must be available for 50% of weekdays and 50% of weekend days each month.

The book a call link doesn’t work!
Hi Damien, I've just tested the link and it's working for me. There are no time slots available in February though so if you'd like to discuss changing plans sooner than next month (or you're still having trouble with the book a call link) it's best to lodge a help request at carnextdoor.com.au/help and our Owner Experience team will get back to you.
