As our network expands and supplier costs rise, these changes help us continue to invest in better coverage, more vehicles, and a smoother experience for you - while keeping Mevo an affordable alternative to owning a car.
What's Changing?
1. More Accessible EV Pricing
Vehicle Type | Current | New (From 5 Nov) | New Day Cap |
BYD Atto 3 | $24/hr | $22/hr | $110/day |
Tesla Model 3 | $32/hr | $26/hr | $130/day |
Polestar 2 | $32/hr | $28/hr | $140/day |
2. Petrol Vehicle Price Update
Vehicle Type | Current | New (From 5 Nov) | New Day Cap |
Suzuki Swift (Petrol) | $18/hr | $20/hr | $100/day |
Volkswagen Polo (Petrol) | $18/hr | $20/hr | $100/day |
3. Simple Per-Minute Pricing
| Current | New (From 5 Nov) |
All Vehicle Models | $0.90/minute | $1/minute |
We’re moving to $1 per minute across all vehicles.
When your trip reaches the hourly cap, you’ll automatically be charged the lower hourly rate, ensuring you always get the best value.
eg. Once you hit 20 minutes in a Swift, you will be charged the hourly rate ($20).
4. Excess KM Rate Update
| Current | New (From 5 Nov) |
Electric Vehicles | $0.50/excess km | $0.75/excess km |
Petrol Vehicles | $0.75/excess km | $0.75/excess km |
Our EVs are moving to 75¢ per excess kilometre - bringing all vehicles in line under one simple rate.
You’ll still have 200 km included every 24 hours, and this small change helps us manage increasing EV operating costs.
5. Insurance Update
From the same date, standard insurance excess will be $4,000 across all vehicles.
You can reduce your excess with our new insurance add-on options:
Cover Option | Price | New Excess |
Standard Cover (Included) | $0 | $4,000 |
Enhanced Cover (Reduced) | $0.50/hr or $12/day | $1,000
|
Total Cover | $2/hr or $48/day | $0 |
We’re committed to keeping car sharing an easier and a better alternative to owning a car. Thank you for being part of the Mevo community - and for helping reshape how Aotearoa moves.
