Mobility Mutual Ltd (“Mobility Mutual”) is a member-owned mutual providing cover for peer-to-peer car sharing
About us
Mobility Mutual is a discretionary mutual fund that was founded to provide financial protection as an alternative to insurance.
It offered discretionary risk protection exclusively to Uber Carshare’s car-sharing community, including Trip Cover and Between-Booking Cover. Mobility Mutual membership is available exclusively to members of Uber Carshare. Uber Carshare ceased operations on September 12, 2024. As a result, Mobility Mutual membership is currently not open for new memberships and no new protection products are being issued.

The Manager has expertise in mutual management and governance. The Managing Agent acts as a risk protection product and claims service provider and membership administrator.

Authorisation and licensing
The protection provided under Trip Cover and Between-Booking Cover is a financial product. As Mobility Mutual does not hold a financial services licence, it issued and distributed its products via Picnic Licensing Pty Ltd (ACN: 647 642 117 AFSL: 532540), (‘Picnic’).
Picnic had appointed Uber Carshare Pty Ltd (AR No: 1304798) and Carshare Support Pty Ltd (AR No: 1304799) as its Authorised Representatives and authorised them to provide financial product advice of a general nature only and to arrange for the issue of Trip Cover and Between-Booking Cover to members.
