Certificate of Inspection for Uber & Rideshare Vehicles

If you drive for *Uber, DiDi, Ola or another approved rideshare platform in Queensland, your vehicle may require a current **Certificate of Inspection (COI)* to operate as a booked hire vehicle.

A COI is different from a standard safety certificate. Queensland’s vehicle inspection requirements identify *booked hire vehicles, taxis and limousines* as vehicles that require a Certificate of Inspection, subject to the applicable vehicle category and requirements.

Our team can help you understand the inspection process and arrange an inspection for your eligible vehicle.

Whether you are a full-time rideshare driver, drive part-time after work or operate multiple passenger vehicles, we aim to make your vehicle inspection as convenient as possible.

COI Inspections for Uber, DiDi, Ola, Taxi & More

We provide inspection services for eligible vehicles used for a range of passenger transport and booked-hire purposes.

What Is a Certificate of Inspection?

A *Certificate of Inspection (COI)* is a formal vehicle inspection certificate used for certain vehicle categories in Queensland.

The purpose of the inspection is to ensure that vehicles operating in higher-risk or passenger transport categories meet the required safety standards.

Queensland’s Department of Transport and Main Roads identifies several vehicle categories that may require a COI, including *booked hire vehicles, taxis, limousines, buses, trucks and other specified vehicles*.

For personalised transport vehicles such as booked hire vehicles, limousines and taxis up to the applicable GVM threshold, inspections are conducted through the relevant approved inspection pathway.

A current COI is important for eligible vehicles because the vehicle must continue to meet the requirements for its intended use.

Do You Need a COI for Your Uber or Rideshare Vehicle?

If you use your vehicle to provide a booked hire service, you may need a current Certificate of Inspection.

This commonly applies to vehicles being used for services such as:
The exact requirements can depend on the *vehicle type, purpose of use and applicable Queensland regulations*.

If you are unsure whether your vehicle requires a COI, contact our team before booking. We can help you identify the appropriate inspection service for your vehicle.

COI vs Safety Certificate – What's the Difference?

A *Safety Certificate* and a *Certificate of Inspection (COI)* are not the same thing. Most ordinary private light vehicles involved in a standard registration transfer may require a safety certificate. However, certain vehicles used for passenger transport and other specified purposes require a COI. For example, Queensland identifies *taxis, limousines and booked hire vehicles* as COI vehicle categories. If you drive for Uber, DiDi, Ola or another booked-hire service, it’s important to make sure you arrange the correct type of inspection for your vehicle.

*Not sure which certificate you need?*
