FAQ

A Rent to Buy agreement lets customers drive a brand-new vehicle through fixed weekly payments. At the end of the contract, they have the option to purchase the car for $1. Eligibility is based on affordability and ABN status.

Applicants need an Australian Business Number (ABN), steady income, and a valid Australian or international driver's licence.

Auto Ownit offers brand-new cars, vans, utes, and trucks from manufacturers including Mitsubishi, Toyota, Mazda, BYD, Chery, and Hyundai. Customers can also request a specific make or model for a customised quote.

Yes. Although Auto Ownit primarily offers brand-new vehicles, a limited selection of previously owned vehicles is available on its Vehicles page.

Registration costs are added to weekly payments and vary by Australian state or territory. Customers are responsible for insurance and maintenance. They may organise their own insurance or choose Auto Ownit's optional Damage Cover.

Additional expenses can include registration (added to your weekly payment), insurance, maintenance and a government transfer fee when ownership changes. Depending on the circumstances, excess-kilometre charges, administration fees and late-payment interest of 10% per annum may apply.​

Weekly payments depend on the vehicle selected, initial deposit, and contract duration. As a reference, brand-new cars can start from $178 per week, including GST. Customers can browse available plans or request a specific quote.

Customers submit a pre-application and supporting documents. After approval, they select a vehicle and contract duration, sign the agreement, pay the deposit, and receive the vehicle.

Vehicles have GPS tracking and remote engine immobilisation, and Auto Ownit retains the spare key during the rental period. The agreement explains the conditions governing these security measures.

Once the contract is complete, customers can purchase the vehicle for $1, transfer ownership into their name, and receive the spare key.

Customers should contact Auto Ownit as soon as possible if they anticipate payment difficulties. The company reviews individual circumstances to identify a suitable arrangement for both parties.
