Will Davies is the Co-Founder and CEO of Uber Carshare, previously known as Car Next Door. He played a pivotal role in developing and leading Car Next Door, an innovative Australian car-sharing platform that connects car owners with those in need of a vehicle. Under his leadership, the company became a significant player in the peer-to-peer car-sharing market. In 2021, Car Next Door was acquired by Uber, and the platform was rebranded as Uber Carshare. This acquisition integrated the car-sharing model with Uber's broader mobility services, expanding Uber's offerings and advancing its goals in sustainable transportation and resource optimization.

The demand for peer to peer car-sharing services such as Car Next Door is increasing during the pandemic. Fiona is a frequent user of car sharing services, on the other hand, car owner Nitin Setia's car is not used regularly and that opens up an opportunity for him to earn some cash to pay off his car loan.

How much money is too much money? Alan Joyce is doing ok - and good on him, but what would you do with that much cash??? Water Water everywhere, and Bowen has a plan to capture it - but is it just all a bit crazy? And Vegans, don't get us started.

Speakers Noga Edelstein and Elke Keeley – Co-Founders at UrbanYou Mike Rosenbaum – CEO & Founder of Spacer Marty Newkirk – Fleet Manager at Car Next Door Type Live Conversation About this conversation The 2-sided marketplace model and the On-Demand Economy are here to stay. The “Uberisation” trend is spreading to more verticals, as consumers become more demanding of “instant gratification” and technology enables delivery of services in a streamlined and cost-efficient way. It is far more cost-effective to share resources than invest in ownership. This applies to physical assets as well as labour. Florence Guild will discuss access over ownership and the new 2 sided marketplace business model with some of Australia’s leaders in the on-demand economy. Meet UrbanYou, Spacer, and Car Next Door and learn how they are taking the 2 sided marketplace to the next level. UrbanYou offers prescreened household service providers to busy professionals. Spacer brings together people with space with people who need storage; i.e. Tinder for storage. Car Next Door brings car owners together with car renters. Conversation Notes - The sharing economy is now becoming mainstream. Many people are used to using Uber and Air BNB. Pretty much everyone, now, is doing it. That wave of change in consumer behaviour has allowed businesses like ours (Car Next Door) to flourish. - Mindset is one of the big things to overcome because of the fact that, in our society, at least for the last 100 – 200 years, individual ownership has been the norm, and everybody has always owned everything that they’ve needed to use. - It is possible to free people from the ‘one car, one person’ mentality. Cars sit idle 96% of the time. - The rise of reviews is both a benefit and a detriment to online businesses. - Everyone loves to have a say. The danger is that businesses or contractors can live and die by their reviews. - The world is changing very quickly and some of the (innovation and regulation) laws were written without the internet in mind and without sharing economy platforms in mind. New sharing economy businesses are keen to work with governments to address changes in things like the Trade Practices Act and consumer laws. The industry does need some regulation around it because everybody would be better off if the guidelines were clear. - The focus is to keep things really simple, have options available, and to give the consumer the best possible experience.

Not long ago we were all too scared to use a credit card to buy a product online yet now we will go and stay in someone’s home overseas whom we have never met before. So, the on-demand phenomenon is not so much, ‘When is it coming?’ It’s here, and it’s expected now.” Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation? If so, make sure to subscribe!

On this episode of People of Purpose, Johanna speaks to Will Davies, the founder of Car Next Door, a peer-to-peer car sharing service currently available in Sydney and Melbourne. Like a true entrepreneur he’s connecting a solution to a problem – helping to reduce the amount of cars on the road, by connecting under-used cars to drivers who need them. It’s peer-to-peer magic at work. If you don't put some love into what you do, well what's the point? ... But if you don't survive as a business, you're headed for burnout. Will had some absolute gems around productivity, customer experience and creating a real community. A great listen for anyone wanting to create a values-led business.

When Will Davies started Car Next Door, he knew he needed to systemize and automate right from the beginning. Car Next Door is a peer to peer car sharing network that brings together people who own a car but do not use it all the time with people who need a car for a short…
