Check Availability for PrestonWho rents from SOZO near Preston
Preston's rental demand isn't limited to rideshare driving, even though that's where most local competitor content is aimed. SOZO also sees business renters along High Street needing a short-term vehicle, families between cars, and visitors staying in the area who need something for a few days rather than a full week. The same no-lock-in weekly terms apply across all of them, alongside the rideshare-ready fleet.
Comparing rental options in Preston
Preston already has established rideshare-focused rental options actively marketing to the suburb, some offering competitive weekly pricing. Where SOZO differs is genuine proximity: SOZO's Brunswick depot is a considerably shorter trip for most Preston renters than a depot based in Melbourne's outer west. For drivers who want to minimise non-earning time spent travelling to and from a rental depot before a shift, that proximity matters as much as the headline rate — and SOZO's fleet suits everyday, business and short-term renters just as well as it suits rideshare drivers.
Rideshare and delivery driving from Preston
Preston sits along the High Street shopping strip and the Mernda line, both solid pickup areas for drivers meeting Uber driver eligibility or DiDi platform eligibility requirements. SOZO's rideshare car hire across Melbourne page covers both platforms together.

The fleet, and choosing the right model
Browse the fleet — Toyota Camry Hybrid, Corolla Hybrid and RAV4 Hybrid, alongside the Kia Cerato and Kia Carnival. The Camry Hybrid suits drivers covering longer rideshare shifts across the northern suburbs, the Corolla Hybrid keeps running costs down for shorter local trips, and the RAV4 Hybrid adds space without leaving hybrid economy behind. See the hybrid lineup for full specs. Renters planning to stay on for months rather than weeks can also look at SOZO's long-term hire options .
