There is one more reason not to
own a car now as ride-hailing major Ola on Thursday launched its
self-drive cab rental service "Ola Drive".
The service has been
initially rolled out for users in Bengaluru, with Hyderabad, Mumbai, and
New Delhi to follow shortly, the company said in a statement.
Ola
Drive will appear as a new category on the Ola app. The service is
being rolled out to users in Bengaluru through pick-up stations located
across different residential and commercial hubs.
Users can choose to book a car of their choice for as little as two hours by paying a security deposit starting at Rs 2,000.
Ola
said it intends to host a fleet of 20,000 cars by 2020 to build and
scale up the Ola Drive service across several Indian cities.
"Ola
Drive will play a transformative role in defining India's car-sharing
market in the next decade," said Arun Srinivas, Chief Sales and
Marketing Officer at Ola.
"In the first phase of its roll-out,
Ola Drive will be offered as a short-term self-drive car-sharing service
as we look to introduce long-term subscription, corporate leasing, and
more options in the times to come," he said.
All Ola Drive cars
across segments will come equipped with Ola's connected car platform
'Ola Play', enabled through a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment device,
and will include GPS, media playback, and Bluetooth connectivity, the
company said.
Users will also have access to the platform's
support and safety features such as a 24/7 helpline, emergency button
(which prompts an immediate call from Ola's dedicated safety response
team) and real-time tracking.
The service will also include
roadside assistance, to ensure a reliable, secure and comfortable
driving experience, the company added.
