Question - How much can you earn by adding your car to Hiyacar?

Hiyacar offers a simple and flexible way for car owners to earn extra income by renting out their vehicles when they’re not using them. By listing your car on the platform, you can tap into a growing demand for affordable, convenient car hire—especially in busy urban areas where many people choose not to own a vehicle. Car owners can make around £650 per month, depending on their car type, location, and how often it’s available.

The platform handles much of the heavy lifting for you. Hiyacar provides comprehensive insurance during every booking, meaning your own policy isn’t affected. The booking process is secure and streamlined, and our app allows drivers to unlock the car keylessly for those that have our telemetry technology installed, giving owners more freedom and reducing the need for handovers. Pricing is set by the owner, and you maintain control over availability, ensuring your car is only rented out when it suits you.

Many owners find that the income can offset car running costs, such as insurance, fuel, and maintenance, and in some cases even generate meaningful profit. Whether your car is used occasionally or sits idle most days, renting it through Hiyacar can transform an underused asset into a reliable, hassle-free source of monthly earnings.
