Big news!! Members now get lower prices on every booking, thanks to a new partnership between Bay Islands Car Share and the Queensland State Government, delivered through Rebecca Young MP’s SMBI Parking Relief Package.

You’ll now pay as little as $7/hour or $55/day- fuel included.
The subsidy covers both Compact and Standard cars, so whether you’re running local errands or heading to the city, it’s never been a better time to be a member.

We’re thrilled to be working with TransLink to expand affordable, convenient transport options for the SMBI community. Car sharing is all about using resources smarter — fewer cars, more access, and less parking congestion for all. We’re proud to be part of a local solution that puts community first. Excited for what’s ahead!

🚗 Big progress for the Bay Islands!

Today, Aaron from Bay Island Car Share joined me for a meeting with TransLink to finalise arrangements for their car share subsidy — a key part of delivering our SMBI Parking Relief Plan.

Affordable and accessible transport options like car share are helping ease pressure on island parking while giving residents more flexibility and choice.

Great to see local innovation backed by government support. More to come! 🙌🌿

Relying on a car to get us around feels part of everyday life for most Australians — but it doesn't need to be. This is how people living in the inner city and regional areas managed to ditch the car or or minimise their day-to-day use.
