Australia, 24th Jan 2026— Sydney-based car rental operator Chippendale Carshare is continuing its expansion after surpassing $500,000 in annual revenue and increasing its active fleet to 70 vehicles, supported by global peer‑to‑peer car‑sharing platform Turo.
Founded in Sydney’s Inner City, Chippendale Carshare has scaled from a single-vehicle operation into a fleet of 70 vehicles servicing demand across the CBD, Inner West, and surrounding suburbs. The business has increasingly focused on customers searching for car rental in Sydney, including travellers comparing alternatives to traditional Sydney Airport car hire.
Founder Alexander Munao said the company’s use of Turo’s marketplace has enabled rapid growth without the infrastructure typically required by conventional airport-based car rental operators.
“The platform provides booking technology, payments, and protection plans,” Munao said. “That allows us to focus on managing vehicles locally, expanding supply, and meeting demand across Sydney rather than operating fixed rental counters.”
Sydney’s car rental market has historically been dominated by airport-based operators, where travellers often face higher fees, limited operating hours, and reduced flexibility. Chippendale Carshare’s growth reflects a broader shift toward decentralised, app-based rentals distributed throughout the city rather than concentrated at airport terminals.
By listing vehicles on Turo, the business reaches customers who initially search for Sydney Airport car rental while offering pickup locations closer to accommodation hubs, residential areas, and major transport corridors. According to Munao, many renters prioritise pricing transparency and convenience over collecting vehicles directly from the airport.
This model has also attracted Sydney residents seeking short-term or long-term car hire without the ongoing costs of ownership. Industry observers note that peer-to-peer platforms are increasingly reshaping urban car rental markets, particularly in cities where congestion, parking costs, and changing travel habits have reduced private vehicle ownership.
Turo’s peer-to-peer model has supported Chippendale Carshare’s expansion to 70 vehicles through co-hosting arrangements with individual car owners. Under this structure, vehicle owners list their cars on the platform while the business manages pricing, cleaning coordination, maintenance scheduling, and customer communication.
This approach has enabled Chippendale Carshare to increase fleet size while maintaining consistent service standards — a key challenge for independent operators competing with established Sydney car rental brands.
As domestic and international travel continues to recover, search demand for terms such as “car rental Sydney” and “Sydney Airport car hire” remains strong. Chippendale Carshare’s growth strategy has been shaped around this demand, with vehicles positioned in locations accessible to major transport corridors rather than airport-only sites.
“Our growth closely follows how people search for car rental in Sydney,” Munao said. “Many start by comparing airport options, then choose city-based vehicles once they see the difference in cost and flexibility.”
Following the $500K milestone and expansion to 70 vehicles, Chippendale Carshare plans to continue growing its fleet across Greater Sydney and introduce additional vehicle categories. Turo is expected to remain a core component of the operating model as the business scales further.
