Kool Car Hire
Turn Your Four-Wheeled Showstopper into Profit (and Stardom)
Have you ever found yourself standing in front of your vintage Mustang, restored Chevy or sleek Aussie muscle car and thought, “You know what? Your car was made for more than just Sunday drives”. That gut feeling might just be your driveway’s moment to shine. Enter Kool Car Hire — Australia’s National Directory for the hair-raising, heart-racing, head-turning vehicles, muscle cars, hot rods, limos, weddings, formals, movie set beasts, and supercars begging to be the star of the show.
Founded and run by the husband-and-wife team Ian Creaser and Jo Creaser, Kool Car Hire is built on a simple premise, if you own (or operate) a unique vehicle, it should pull in enquiries, not just gather dust. They have created a platform where car owners and rental businesses list their vehicles once and get visible nationwide to people who are actively searching for that “one-of-a-kind ride” for weddings, formals, photo shoots, film, TV, or brand promotions.
Meet the people behind the platform
Ian and Jo did not just pick “car hire directory” out of a hat. They have put real love into this locally owned Australian business doing this at national scale, connecting owners with clients all around the country. After 20 years specialising in online marketing, they know what it takes to get eyeballs online, to generate pre-qualified leads, and to make the process as simple and fair as possible for you — the owner, the supplier.
Why your car deserves the spotlight
Your ride may already mean something special to you, a classic restored with care, a sleek supercar that commands attention, or a stretch limo that turns heads. But the truth is — most of the time it sits idle, waiting for the “right day”. Kool Car Hire says, “why wait?” List it, show it off, and let it earn money for you.
Here’s the kicker, the site receives on average 100 visitors a day, that is over 2,000 visits a month from people actively looking for unique vehicles for special events. That means you’re being exposed to people who already want what you have got — whether they’re planning a wedding entrance, a music video shoot, a TV commercial, or a prop background for a film shoot.
How it works (and how you win)
-
* List your vehicle (or vehicles) on Kool Car Hire. The directory is designed so you can choose your terms, what events you are willing to do (weddings? formals? film sets?).
-
* When someone wants your car, they submit a booking enquiry. You receive the details of date/time, event type, address details, total hours etc and can decide whether to accept. If you accept, you pay the small service fee, if you decline, no fee. No risk, no hidden catches.
-
* You set your own price (the site suggests a minimum of 2-hour hire and around AUD $250 per hour as a guideline)
-
* You stay in control. The car stays yours. The schedule is yours. The booking is yours. Kool Car Hire simply brings the pre-qualified lead to you.
What makes Kool Car Hire different
-
No commission eating your earnings: Unlike many booking agents who might take 20% (or more) of each hire, Kool Car Hire works on a minimal flat service fee model. Meaning more of the money goes into your pocket.
-
Fairness + transparency: You only pay when you accept a lead. You pick the jobs. You set your terms and conditions.
-
Marketing muscle: Ian and Jo know digital performance — the site is set up to be found by Google, to attract qualified clients, not just generic traffic. That means better quality leads for you.
-
Versatility of vehicle types: Whether you have got a 1960s classic, a modern supercar, a stretch Hummer limo or something truly unusual — they cater for weddings, school formals, photo shoots, film sets, music videos, product launches and more.
Imagine the possibilities!
-
Your 1969 Camaro shows up on a major TV advertisement.
-
The hot rod you built catches a call for a film background scene, and boom — extra income for you, bragging rights for the car.
-
A wedding company books your stretch limo for a big event, and your car becomes part of someone’s “big day” memory.
-
A magazine shoot wants your vehicle for their cover — you earn a hire fee, and your car gets featured.
And because the car owners featured on Kool Car Hire report exactly those kinds of outcome for example, they list cars that were “used in movie scenes, most recently the Elvis movie filmed on the Gold Coast.”
A few things to keep in mind
-
Insurance & legal: Make sure your insurance is compliant for the jobs you will accept. It’s encouraged you check with your insurer before listing.
-
Know your conditions: Club-rego restrictions, licence authorisations, minimum booking times might apply. But you set the rules.
-
Pick your jobs: You’re not forced into any role, you can pick weddings only, or photo shoots only, or film sets — whatever you are comfortable with.
-
Your car, your brand: Because you’re listing it and controlling it, you get to decide how your car is portrayed and when it works.
Bottom line: make money without the stress
Let us be blunt, your vehicle sits idle far too often when it could be working. If you have got something unique, something with character — it’s time to let it do more than fetch dust in the garage. With Kool Car Hire, they are in collaboration with Film and TV Producers throughout Australia, so you are getting exposure to an audience of real event-producers, photographers, film crews and clients looking now for the ride you’ve got, with minimal cost and maximum control.
Ian and Jo’s vision makes sense, they built a platform where car owners win, clients win, and the business owner (you) gets to focus on your vehicle while less time is spent hunting down leads. The magic of the internet meets real-world wheels.
So, if you own a show-stopping vehicle and you’d like to turn it into income (with a side of star-power), head to Kool Car Hire. List your car. Accept the leads you like. Ride the wave of over 2,000 monthly visitors who already want what you have got. Your car gets the attention it deserves — and you get paid for it.
Give your vehicle its moment. And while it’s doing the job, you can sit back and appreciate the fact that you did not just invest in wheels. You invested in opportunity.
