Welcome to the Toyota Mobility Project
The Toyota Mobility Project Pilot is now completed as of 31st January 2024. Thank you to all involved for your support. We are now in the analysis phase as we evaluate the project and make a business case for a nationwide release.
The Toyota Mobility Project takes mobility and turns it into a service for everyone.
This exciting new payment for access model means you get use of the right vehicle, at the right time, for only as long as you need it.
Book a vehicle from your phone from the wide range on offer, for 30 minutes or several hours, unlock it via the App, and drive away. Fuel is included up to 70km on bookings 2 hours or less. Drive it further, or have it for longer, and the cost of extra fuel is deducted from your account unless you bring it back refueled.
Use the right car, for exactly the right purpose for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 1 day or a weekend. The choice is yours to make. It is all about mobility for all, in the latest clean, safe and environmentally efficient vehicles one of New Zealand’s most trusted brand produces.
Welcome to our Mobility Hub.
Pay as You Go is a great way to start if you don't want to join the Mobility Club, but just want to experience it without the commitment of preloading your account. Download the app at the links below and get started!
Using the app is simple once you have it downloaded. Check out the video as we walk you through the process.
Using the Toyota Mobility Project App.We made a short video detailing just how easy it is to use the new Toyota Mobility Project App. Download it ahead of time so that you have it ready to go. Get access to the right car, at the right time, for just as long as you need it. From a zippy compact hybrid, through to an electric Lexus, a large 7 seater hybrid Toyota Highlander that can tow the boat and even a Hilux. The options this brings are liberating!

Watch the video below to walk you through this exciting new mobility opportunity.
The most cost effective way to utilise the Toyota Mobility Project is to join our Mobility Club. This gives you the greatest value for money as you get extra credit the more you invest. This is revolutionary and will change the way you think about mobility overall, as you can finally pay for a vehicle solely for the time that you need it. For instance the $500 Pack gives you $700 worth of credit, or 46.66 hours of use of the Toyota Raize. If you really only use your car once a week for an hour to get groceries or go to the hardware store that is nearly a whole year's worth of mobility for just $500!!!
This new concept in mobility will free you up to walk, bike or take public transport into work with the knowledge that if you need to use a car for 30 minutes or an hour you can. Need to tow the caravan to Kaiteriteri a couple of times a year but don't really need a large SUV the rest of the time? Problem solved. Book the Toyota Highlander or Toyota Hilux for a couple of hours to drop it off and pick it back up again at the end. Think about how this could potentially change your future!
