Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a Certificate of Inspection?

    A Certificate of Inspection (COI) confirms that a vehicle meets Queensland’s minimum safety standards. It’s required for rideshare, taxi and booked hire services. 


    A licensed inspection station checks key systems like brakes, lights and tyres. Once the vehicle passes, the COI is issued and submitted to the Department of Transport for compliance purposes.

  • How long does a Certificate of Inspection last?

    In Queensland, a Certificate of Inspection for rideshare vehicles is valid for 12 months. Drivers must renew the certificate annually to remain compliant. Book an inspection before the expiry date to avoid disruptions. Regular maintenance between inspections helps reduce the risk of failing and keeps your vehicle in safe, roadworthy condition all year.

  • What vehicles need a Certificate of Inspection?

    Vehicles used for rideshare, booked hire, taxis or public passenger transport must pass a certificate of inspection in Queensland. This applies to cars used with services like Uber, DiDi and Ola. The COI confirms the vehicle meets road safety standards and remains legally allowed to operate in a commercial or passenger-carrying role.
