Uber & Rideshare Rental in Carlton
Carlton's location directly north of Melbourne's CBD makes it a prime zone for rideshare drivers. With Uber and DiDi demand driven by Melbourne University students, Lygon Street diners, and Royal Melbourne Hospital visitors, drivers based in Carlton enjoy consistent trip volume throughout the day and evening.
Our hybrid fleet keeps your fuel costs low during the frequent stop-start driving that inner-city Carlton demands.
