Why rent a Civic

The Civic is a small car that has been on sale in Australia for decades, and the fleet's cars span more than one generation. The 2016-on sedan is a reasonable rideshare option for drivers who do not want a full-size sedan, with a separate boot for passengers' bags, and the hatch versions suit a long commute.

Running costs

The Green Vehicle Guide lists the Civic VTi and VTi-S sedan with the 1.8-litre engine and CVT, listed from 2016, at 6.4 L/100km combined, and the 1.5-litre turbo sedan grades (VTi-L, RS and VTi-LX) at 6.0. The eleventh-generation 1.5-litre turbo hatch, released in 2021, is listed at 6.3, and the Civic e:HEV hybrid at 4.2. The 1.8-litre hatch is listed on 95 RON premium unleaded, while the 2016 sedans are listed on regular 91 RON, so check the fuel filler label.

Practical points

Gearbox: CVT automatic in the cars rated above, with smooth, stepless acceleration.
Hatch or sedan: both seat five. The sedan's separate boot keeps bags out of sight; the hatch is easier to load with bulky items.
Rideshare: Uber's Melbourne UberX rules include an ANCAP 5-star rating, four doors, seating for four passengers and a maximum age of 15 years by year of manufacture. Check the specific car with Uber.

Renting a Honda Civic: questions

What fuel economy does a Honda Civic get?

The Green Vehicle Guide lists the 2016-on Civic VTi 1.8L CVT sedan at 6.4 L/100km combined, the 1.5L turbo sedans at 6.0 and the 2021-released 1.5L turbo hatch at 6.3.

Does the Civic need premium fuel?

It depends on the variant. The Green Vehicle Guide lists the 2016 Civic sedans on 91 RON regular unleaded and the 1.8L hatch on 95 RON. The fuel filler flap on the car states the minimum grade.

Can I use a Civic for rideshare?

It has four doors and seats five, which meets Uber's basic layout requirements for UberX. Whether a specific car is eligible depends on its age and ANCAP rating under Uber's current Melbourne requirements, so confirm with Uber.
