How to submit a complaint with GoGet
To make a GoGet complaint, use the official complaints form for trackable money disputes, or call Member Services on 1300 769 389 (24/7) for anything urgent during a booking. GoGet is Australia's largest car-sharing service, so complaints typically cover fuel reimbursement, billing, parking fines, car availability and customer service. Pick the channel that fits your issue.
Official Complaints Form (recommended)
- The fastest, trackable way to lodge a formal complaint: GoGet complaints form.
- Describe what went wrong, attach photos and receipts (especially for fuel, cleanliness or fines), and include your booking reference.
- GoGet states it uses this information "to fix your problem and improve the service in the future."
Phone — Member Services (24/7)
- Best for urgent issues mid-booking: a car that won't unlock, an accident, or being locked out.
- GoGet contact number: 1300 769 389 (international: +61 130 076 9389).
- Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In-App Chat
- Open the GoGet app and use the chat function to message support.
- Keeps a written record of the conversation, useful if you later need to escalate.
- General help: hello@goget.com.au.
- Product or service questions: questions@goget.com.au.
General Enquiry & Help Centre

- Browse self-service articles and contact options in the GoGet Help Centre.
Tip: For any money dispute — fuel, fines or extra charges — submit via the complaints form and keep screenshots of your booking, the dashboard fuel and odometer reading, and any receipts. Written evidence dramatically speeds up resolutions.
GoGet's stated approach is to acknowledge your complaint, investigate it, and work with you toward a resolution. There's no published turnaround for general complaints, so set your own reasonable deadline and keep records. Here's how the process generally runs.
- Acknowledgement and triage: Complaints lodged via the form or chat are logged and assigned to the Member Services team. Urgent in-booking issues are handled live on the 24/7 phone line.
- Investigation: GoGet reviews booking data, vehicle telematics, photos and receipts you supply. Fuel and cleanliness disputes are assessed against policy — for example, fuel credit is generally not given if refuelling didn't occur within roughly the first 10km or first hour of a booking.
- Communication: Updates are typically delivered by email or in-app chat. You can request escalation if the first response doesn't resolve the issue.
- Timeframe: GoGet doesn't publish a fixed turnaround for general complaints. For privacy-related complaints, its Privacy Policy commits to working with you within a reasonable timeframe; the OAIC standard of 30 days is a fair benchmark before external escalation.
- Who assists you: Front-line Member Services agents handle most cases (some support is delivered via an overseas contact centre). Complex or escalated matters go to a senior escalations team.
If the first answer doesn't satisfy you, you have a clear right to ask for the matter to be reviewed internally — and then externally to a regulator if it stays unresolved.
Common complaints against GoGet
Drawn from ProductReview.com.au (around 3.9/5 from 1,950+ GoGet car share reviews), Trustpilot and OzBargain forums, these are the recurring themes in GoGet complaints.
Fuel Reimbursement Delays and Refusals
- The single biggest pain point: members report difficulty getting petrol refunded.
- The app often defaults to account credit instead of a bank refund, sometimes with no "submit request" button.
- Repeated requests for extra proof, and refunds refused under the "first 10km / first hour" rule, drive most GoGet fuel reimbursement complaints.
Fuel Card and Petrol Issues
- Fuel cards failing because the PIN is rejected.
- Cars picked up with less than a quarter tank.
- Frustration over policy changes requiring members to pay out-of-pocket.
Parking Fines and Infringement Charges
- Members charged for fines covering periods they weren't renting, or because GoGet didn't relocate a car as promised.
- Charges sometimes applied without clear proof or explanation.
- Fine disputes can drag on for months.
Billing and Overcharging
- Charged full booking time when a car was returned early.
- Per-kilometre charges (around $0.48/km) members say weren't made clear at booking, plus $25 non-refuelling fees.
- Admin fees applied after a rep allegedly waived them — a common GoGet billing dispute.
Vehicle Availability and Condition
- Booked car not at the pod or relocated, forcing members to abandon trips.
- Dirty cars with cobwebs and debris.
App Reliability and Customer Service
- Buggy app, freezing, and booking time auto-resetting to the hour without clear warning.
- Hard-to-reach support, an unhelpful chatbot, and chats ending after long waits.
- Difficulty understanding overseas call-centre agents, and a perception that dispute handling is rigid.

How other consumers GoGet complaints got resolved
Car Not at the Booking Location
A long-time member found the booked car simply wasn't there. After 30+ minutes searching nearby streets they abandoned the trip. GoGet acknowledged the issue, but the member rated the outcome unsatisfactory.
Tip: Report a missing car immediately on the 24/7 line (1300 769 389) so the fault is logged and charges waived.
Faulty Card Reader on First Rental
A new member's card reader failed at the start of their first booking, and a remote unlock set off the car alarm in public. The overseas support agent was hard to understand, and the member was offered only a $10 credit for significant inconvenience.
Tip: If a first offer feels too low, decline politely and request escalation in writing via the complaints form.
Parking Fine After GoGet Didn't Relocate the Car
A member received a parking fine because GoGet didn't move a car as promised. GoGet acknowledged it and promised resolution within a week, but after 3+ months of follow-ups it stayed unresolved and the member paid the fine.
Tip: Use the fine-dispute process, keep every reference number, and escalate to Fair Trading if there's no real progress in 30 days.
If your first response doesn't resolve things, escalate inside GoGet before going external. Keep a paper trail at every step.
Request Escalation in Writing
- Reply to the complaint thread (form or in-app chat) and explicitly ask for a senior or escalations team review.
- Reference your booking ID and prior case number.
Phone Member Services
- Call 1300 769 389 (24/7) and ask to speak with a supervisor or have the case escalated.
- Note the agent's name, plus the date and time of the call.
Use the Dedicated Fine-Dispute Channel
- For parking fines and infringements, lodge through how to dispute a fine.
- This is the correct path for any GoGet parking fine dispute.
Email a Written Escalation
- Send to questions@goget.com.au or hello@goget.com.au with all evidence attached.
- State the outcome you want and a reasonable deadline (14–30 days).
Keep a Paper Trail
- Save every reference number, screenshot and email.
- This evidence is essential if you need to take a GoGet carshare refund or charge dispute to a regulator.
Car sharing isn't covered by an industry-specific ombudsman. Consumer protection falls under Australian Consumer Law, administered by the ACCC and state and territory fair trading bodies; privacy issues go to the OAIC. Escalate externally only after giving GoGet a reasonable chance to respond (generally around 30 days).
- ACCC (Australian Competition & Consumer Commission): Guidance on your rights under Australian Consumer Law via where to go for consumer help and contact or report an issue.
- NSW Fair Trading: GoGet is headquartered in Sydney — phone 13 32 20 or use complaints and enquiries. Members outside NSW should use their own state body.
- State Consumer Affairs / Fair Trading: Consumer Affairs Victoria, Office of Fair Trading QLD, and Consumer and Business Services SA handle members in those states.
- NCAT (and equivalents): If Fair Trading conciliation fails, a low-cost tribunal such as NCAT, VCAT or QCAT can decide the dispute.
- OAIC (Office of the Australian Information Commissioner): For privacy or data-handling complaints unresolved within ~30 days, lodge a privacy complaint.

GoGet Complaints FAQs
Can I get a cash refund for GoGet fuel instead of account credit?
GoGet often defaults fuel reimbursement to account credit rather than a bank refund, but you can push for cash through the complaints form. State clearly that you want money returned to your card, attach the fuel receipt plus a dashboard photo showing the odometer and fuel level, and include your booking reference. Refunds are typically refused if you refuelled within the first 10km or first hour of a booking.
How long does GoGet take to resolve a complaint?
GoGet does not publish a fixed turnaround for general complaints, so set your own reasonable deadline of 14 to 30 days and keep written records. For privacy complaints, GoGet commits to a reasonable timeframe, and the OAIC's 30-day standard is a fair benchmark. If GoGet stalls past 30 days with no genuine progress, escalate internally to a supervisor, then externally to your state's Fair Trading body.
How do I dispute a GoGet parking fine I should not have been charged?
GoGet has a dedicated fine-dispute channel in its Help Centre, which is the correct path for any parking fine or infringement charge. Lodge there with evidence showing you weren't renting during the offence period or that GoGet failed to relocate the car as promised. Save every reference number. If there's no real progress within 30 days, escalate to your state's Fair Trading body or a tribunal like NCAT.
What should I do if GoGet's first offer is too low?
If GoGet offers a low resolution, such as a small credit for significant inconvenience, decline politely and request escalation in writing via the complaints form or in-app chat. Reference your booking ID and prior case number, and ask for a senior or escalations team review. State the outcome you want and a clear deadline of 14 to 30 days, and keep all screenshots and emails as evidence.
