The Sydney Blue Sox are excited to announce the continuation of their partnership with Carly Car Subscription, Australia’s leading car subscription service, for the 2024/25 Australian Baseball League season. Building on the success of their collaboration last season, Carly will again provide flexible, short-term vehicle solutions to support the Blue Sox’s international players and coaching staff during their stay in Australia.

Chris Noone, Carly CEO adds “We see our ongoing partnership with the Sydney Blue Sox as the perfect example of why flexible access to cars for mid-term periods is so important. People travelling into Australia for longer than a quick holiday need to be able to easily access reliable transport in a cost effective manner. Being able to support and provide a great local sporting team like the Sydney Blue Sox with easy mobility options for their overseas team members is where we really see the car subscription model shine.”

Carly’s car subscription model offers a seamless, all-in-one alternative to traditional car ownership, allowing customers to subscribe to a vehicle on a month-to-month basis without the burden of long-term contracts. All registration, insurance, maintenance and roadside assistance are included within the monthly cost, making it an ideal solution for those in need of reliable transport without long-term financial commitments. Once the vehicle is no longer required, it’s simply returned with 30 days notice, allowing subscribers to adjust to their needs as necessary.
For the Sydney Blue Sox, Carly’s model has been a game-changer. Last season, Carly helped the team solve the logistical challenge of finding short-term transportation for its international roster. With players and coaches from overseas staying in Australia for just over three months, providing vehicles that met their needs without incurring significant costs was a difficult task. Carly’s service, with its all-inclusive monthly fee, proved to be the perfect solution. It allowed the team to secure reliable transportation for its overseas contingent while keeping expenses under control.

For the Blue Sox, this ease of use is invaluable. With the team’s focus on preparing for a successful season, Carly’s service eliminates the administrative and financial headaches associated with managing multiple vehicles. Players and coaches can concentrate on their performance on the field, knowing that their transportation needs are fully taken care of.

As the 2024/25 ABL season gets underway, the Sydney Blue Sox are pleased to renew this partnership with Carly, further strengthening the collaboration between two organizations. This marks the second year Carly has supported the team, and the partnership is a reflection of the service’s ability to meet the unique demands of sports teams and their transient, short-term needs.
The Sydney Blue Sox believe Carly’s flexible car subscription model aligns perfectly with their values of innovation, teamwork, and efficiency. As they prepare to welcome another season of international talent, the team is confident that Carly’s service will continue to play a crucial role in supporting their efforts both on and off the field.

For anyone in Australia seeking a similar solution, Carly offers a range of vehicles available on a subscription basis. Whether you need a car for a month or several months, Carly’s service is designed to meet your needs with no long-term lock-in contracts and a simple process to return the vehicle when you no longer need it.
