How YesDrive Supports Carbon Offsets with Every Rental

Whether you’re cruising through Sydney’s coastal suburbs or embarking on a scenic road trip from Hobart, your journey is now part of something bigger—reducing your carbon footprint.

Why Carbon Offsets Matter
Every vehicle on the road produces carbon dioxide (CO₂), one of the leading contributors to climate change. While advancements in fuel-efficient and electric vehicles are making a difference, traditional car hire still comes with an environmental cost.
Carbon offsetting allows us to balance out these emissions by investing in certified environmental projects that absorb or avoid the same amount of CO₂ released during your rental period. It’s a practical, measurable way to drive change—literally.
How YesDrive’s Carbon Offset Program Works
We’ve made our carbon offset program simple, automatic, and free to our customers. Here’s how it works:
Emissions are calculated based on your vehicle type and distance driven.
YesDrive purchases carbon credits from certified projects to match your usage.
Your rental helps fund initiatives like native reforestation, renewable energy, and biodiversity protection.
You receive the same great service—just with a cleaner conscience.
Every rental from our Sydney or Hobart branches contributes to a greener future.
Types of Projects We Support
We partner with trusted organisations and certified environmental programs to ensure your offset goes where it counts. Examples of our supported projects include:
🌱 Reforestation Projects in Australia
Planting native trees across degraded landscapes to capture CO₂, restore habitats, and reduce soil erosion.
🌞 Renewable Energy Initiatives
Helping fund wind and solar farms that reduce the need for fossil fuels.
🌿 Biodiversity and Wildlife Corridors
Supporting the creation of connected green spaces for native species and pollinators across Tasmania and NSW.
🌏 Global Verified Carbon Standards (VCS) Projects
When appropriate, we also support international offset programs certified to Gold Standard or VCS.
Each project is independently verified to meet global standards for transparency and impact.
