Rent out your car for e-hailing and let Fifty Cars manage everything
Looking for a practical way to make money with your car without taking on the daily pressure of managing drivers and fleet operations yourself?
Turn your vehicle into an income-generating asset with Fifty Cars. We manage eligible vehicles on behalf of owners, taking care of the day-to-day fleet operations while you retain ownership of your vehicle.
Owning a vehicle comes with ongoing maintenance, tyres, servicing, licensing and depreciation. Putting the right car into a managed e-hailing operation can help turn those costs into an income opportunity.
Many owners want their vehicle to make money with e-hailing, but they do not want to deal with drivers, tracking alerts, maintenance bookings and daily operations themselves. That is the gap Fifty Cars fills.
Fifty Cars does not simply take your car and hand it to a driver. We operate as your fleet management partner. We manage the vehicle and the operational processes around it so you can focus on owning the asset while we manage the e-hailing operation.

We are e-hailing fleet managers, not just car renters

E-hailing requires more than just a car
A successful e-hailing operation is more than putting a vehicle on an app. Depending on the platform and location, vehicles may need to meet requirements relating to inspections, roadworthiness, licensing, operating licences, driver documentation, platform-specific rules and vehicle markings.
Fifty Cars assesses vehicles before onboarding and works with owners to identify the requirements that must be met before the vehicle can operate. We cannot guarantee regulatory approval, and requirements may differ by province and platform.
