WESTMEADOWS, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, June 8, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A recently launched car sharing service is getting attention all over Australia - one that seems to take advantage of a hole in the market and provides a convenient way for travelers to get themselves to the airport without forking out big bucks paying for long-term airport parking.

Following in the footsteps of 'sharing' type services that cut out the middle-man (Uber, AirBnB and BlaBlaCar are the biggest examples), Carhood looks to simplify both car hire and airport parking services simultaneously.

The premise is fairly straightforward. When you have a flight out of Brisbane or Melbourne, you can drive to the airport, park in Carhood's long-term carpark and take the shuttle to your terminal.

Fully insured and taking full responsibility for the wellbeing of your car, Carhood essentially hires out your vehicle to incoming travelers while you're away. And the cost to the renter is significantly lower than convention car hire companies are charging.

When you return, you take the shuttle to Carhood's long term car-park and collect your earnings - Carhood pays a percentage to the car owner depending on how much it was used.

It's easy to see why this idea would work and why there would be demand for such a service. It essentially simplifies two services that can be a bit of a pain for people traveling around the country.

For one, organising transport to the airport when you're going on a trip can be troublesome. In the past, driving in and using long-term parking services has been an option only for a select few, given how pricey it usually is. With Carhood, at worst you are essentially getting free parking at the airport AND a clean car when you return. This alone makes it very attractive compared to paid airport parking.

In much the same way, there seems to be little real competition for car rental companies, and the costs associated with renting a vehicle are not low by any means. There are numerous holiday destinations where renting a car is a near-necessity to get around. While Carhood is currently available in Melbourne and Brisbane, the company has plans to venture to other airports like Sydney very soon.

So if you're looking for car hire at Brisbane or Melbourne airport, give Carhood a go and find out why it's getting so much attention!
