At Mobi, we believe in rewarding hosts who treat carsharing like a business. That’s why we’ve built a transparent earnings model that gives you control and clarity over how you make money on the platform.
🔹 Host Earnings Breakdown
Hosts are paid weekly on Friday on a 2-day rolling basis. You earn 90% of the daily vehicle price for each trip booked. Here’s how a typical transaction is structured:
✅ Example:
If your vehicle is listed at $50/day, your earnings would be calculated like this:
- $45 (90%) goes to you, the host
- $5 (10%) goes to Mobi
Your earnings do not include additional costs passed through to the guest (such as insurance or taxes).
🧾 Fees & Costs Breakdown
Mobi applies additional fees to guests to maintain platform operations, ensure safety, and provide insurance coverage.
Fee Type | Amount | Who Pays It |
Platform Fee | Varies by risk and other factors | Paid by Guest |
Trip Insurance | Varies by risk, plan, and other factors | Paid by Guest |
Taxes | Varies by rental locations | Paid by Guest |
