Smart Car of America - Australian’s Drive Smart Cars

Australian’s Drive Smart Cars

For those driven by the costs, Mr McMillan points to some big savings on offer. “If a business was to lease direct it would first have to enter into a three year commitment. With us you commit to only 12 months at $6 per day and you save about $6000.”

Even the GPS tracking system has offered indirect cost savings. It may not translate to free navigation, but McMillan says it has saved at least one driver from a parking fine. “The GPS system was able to point out the car wasn’t actually there, so they didn’t have to pay.”

KahDo is doing what it can to tread more lightly on the Earth as well, buying 100% carbon offset for all its vehicles.

“We’re not putting additional cars on the road, either,” says Mr McMillan. “Early on people equated us with those trucks with billboards, but they are vehicles on the road purely for advertising. Instead, we’re taking people out of older cars and putting them into ours. We are actively looking on the horizon for new technologies and new cars to remain as environmentally friendly as possible.”

Big brands embracing KahDo

KahDo’s track record shows a solid line up of first-class advertisers, with big names like Nokia, Telstra, Jetstar, Mars, Tooheys and more well known brands all getting involved.

“It took three years, and we’ve had a lot of belief in our own small business,” says Mr McMillan.

“We’re now at the point where people understand what it is about and we’re really starting to make it. We expect to have around 350 cars on the road nationally by end of year.”

Mr McMillan suggests industries like hospitality, health/fitness, retail/sales, agencies, and a huge range of contractors and professional services fields would be ideal. From doctors to musicians, accountants to designers, KahDo is open to applications from any small business owner, in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, or Perth, who can see the benefit in joining forces for a planned October launch.

“We expect we will be dealing with smart, savvy operators,” says Mr McMillan. “They’re playing the game, playing the system, and this is a way to engage in a relationship that has a real mutual benefit.”

KahDo is looking for Small Business Owners in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth interested in driving a new Toyota Yaris for $6 a day.
