Why choose Accelerate with Otto Car?

Start with smart savings

Start your journey with access to affordable Uber-approved EVs at a lower price - giving you the freedom to explore whether this is the right career for you.

No credit checks

Everyone’s invited - we believe every driver deserves a fair start and the opportunity to get on the road, no matter their credit history.

Clear path to car ownership

After 8 weeks, easily switch to our Rent to Buy plan, transferring your rental payments and moving closer to owning your vehicle.

Low admin fees

Low admin costs, clear pricing, and no hidden fees - so you can focus on driving with confidence.

Flexible options to suit you

Switch to a Rent to Buy plan

Keep the same car and switch to our Rent to Buy plan. All your rental payments count towards your new contract and no new deposit is needed, saving you thousands in the long run.

Choose a new car on our Rent to Buy plan

Switch to our Rent to Buy plan and choose a new car. Your previous deposit transfers across and you’ll just pay the difference, but past rental payments won’t carry over to your new contract.

Continue with our PCO Car Hire plan

You can continue renting your current car, but your weekly payments will return to the standard PCO Car Hire rate for your chosen car.

Return your car

You also have total freedom to return your car once the 8 weeks are up. You'll also get your deposit back, subject to standard Terms and Conditions.
