Please note: The information in this article is provided as general guidance only. evee recommends consulting the New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) and other official sources for the most current requirements applicable to your situation.
To comply with New Zealand rules and regulations, all evee hosts must hold their own individual Transport Service Licence (TSL) to rent out an electric vehicle on the platform. The TSL label must be displayed on the inside of the windscreen, as close as practicable to the bottom of the passenger's side.
How to Apply
You will need to apply at a driver licensing agent. Find a driver licensing agent in your area.
You will need to provide the following documents and fees. Please refer to the NZTA Transport Service Licence Application page for the current forms and applicable fees at the time of your application:
A completed Transport Service Licence (TL01) application form
A completed Personal Details supporting an application for Transport Service Licence (TL02) form for each person who will be in control of the service
The applicable application fee
The applicable police vetting fee for each person who will be in control of the service
Please ensure your forms are completed correctly and all required documents are attached to minimise any delays in processing your application. Current application processing times can be found on the NZTA Current Application Processing Times page.
For any questions regarding Transport Service Licence applications, please email [email protected].
TSL Expiration
Transport Service Licences do not expire, so the application is a one-time process. The TSL label will not have an expiry date, but must be replaced as required to ensure that all details remain fully legible when displayed.
