KINTO Australia: Toyota rental by the hour, day or month

KINTO Australia is Toyota's car rental and car sharing service in Australia, operated by Toyota Finance Australia Limited. The company provides access to a fleet of Toyota vehicles — hybrids, SUVs, utes, vans and electric vehicles — from one hour up to 364 days, with a fully digital process: paperless, contactless and keyless. The vehicle is booked, unlocked and returned through the free KINTO app for iOS and Android, with no counter and no queues.

Rental options: Share, Rent and Flex

The company structures its offering into three options that share the same fleet and are managed from a single account:

• KINTO Share: for hourly or same-day use, with an hourly rate plus a distance charge.
• KINTO Rent: rental by the day, week or month, booked immediately or in advance.
• KINTO Flex: a monthly subscription for longer commitments, with reduced daily rates.

Bookings of up to 364 days are covered by KINTO Rent, while KINTO Flex is designed for longer-term use. Bookings of 30 days or more qualify for reduced pricing. Cancellation is free up to two hours before the booking starts, and no payment is taken until then.

Available fleet and indicative pricing

The KINTO Australia catalogue includes Toyota models for different uses: the Yaris Hybrid, the Yaris Cross Hybrid, the Corolla Hybrid (sedan or hatch), the Corolla Cross Hybrid, the Camry Hybrid, the RAV4 Hybrid, the all-electric bZ4X, the 7-seater Kluger Hybrid, the HiLux Double Cab 4x4 and the HiAce Cargo LWB van. The prices published on the site combine a duration fee and a per-kilometre charge. As a reference, the catalogue showed hourly rates from AUD 9.75 plus 27c per km for the Yaris Hybrid, and daily rates from AUD 47.25 plus 19c per km. The electric bZ4X appeared with a daily rate from AUD 99. The company warns that models may vary from those shown, that not all vehicles are available at all locations and that prices may vary at airports or during peak periods.

Featured services: airport, electric, utes and vans

Among the rental categories the company highlights are airport rental, with an option at Sunshine Coast Airport; rental of the all-electric bZ4X; hourly rental; ute rental with the Toyota HiLux 4x4; rental of 7-seater vehicles with the Kluger; and the monthly subscription. The HiAce Cargo LWB van offers 6.2 m³ of load space and is marketed, according to the site, from AUD 59.20 per day plus 27c per km on 7-day rentals. Vans are commonly used for moving, deliveries and trade work, while utes are aimed at towing, tip runs and worksite access.
