Chippendale Car Rental has become one of Sydney’s standout success stories in the fast-evolving car hire and car sharingindustry. What started with one vehicle has expanded into a 43-car fleet, with the business now projecting more than $400,000 AUD in annual revenue.
At the centre of this rapid growth is Turo, the peer-to-peer platform revolutionising the way Australians rent cars.
A Smarter Way to Rent a Car in Sydney
Operating from Sydney’s inner city, Chippendale Car Rental offers affordable and flexible transport options for both locals and visitors.
With daily rates from $40, customers can choose from a diverse mix of hatchbacks, sedans, SUVs, and 7-seaters. Convenient pickup locations near Sydney CBD and Sydney Airport make it an easy choice for those seeking reliable mobility without the cost or commitment of ownership.
The business services key inner-city suburbs including Chippendale, Redfern, Surry Hills, Ultimo, Zetland, Glebe, Camperdown, Mascot, and Newtown, making it a trusted option for Sydney car hire.
“People want car rentals to be quick, affordable, and stress-free,” said Munao. “That’s exactly what Turo allows us to deliver.”
Turo Technology at the Core
The backbone of Chippendale Car Rental’s growth is its partnership with Turo, Australia’s leading car sharing platform.
Through the Turo app, customers can search, book, and unlock vehicles digitally, removing the need for physical counters or paperwork. Turo also handles driver verification, secure payments, protection plans, and 24/7 roadside support, enabling Munao to scale efficiently.
“Turo gave me the structure and systems I needed to build a serious business fast,” Munao said. “It’s modern, seamless, and it works.”
Professional Operations with a Local Touch
Although independently owned, Chippendale Car Rental is run with the precision of a major rental operator. The company uses real-time GPS tracking, automated cleaning and maintenance, and a dedicated online portal at chippocarshare.com.au.
All vehicles are covered by Turo protection plans and integrated with keyless entry technology, creating a frictionless booking experience for drivers.
Leading Sydney’s Mobility Shift
With more Sydneysiders turning to car sharing instead of ownership, businesses like Chippendale Car Rental are redefining urban mobility. Peer-to-peer platforms give both drivers and hosts more flexibility, affordability, and control.
“Car ownership isn’t always practical in the city,” Munao explained. “Turo gives people access to cars when they need them — and gives operators like me a proven system to grow.”
