The earliest car rental company in China was founded in the 1990s. After years of development in the form of B2C self-buying and self-operating, there have also been platform, OTA and C2C car rental modes. In 2020, 58 cities also officially launched car rental business. As a life service platform, 58 City also sent a signal to the industry that renting a car is not only a part of travel, but also a regular option to meet people's various travel needs.
It is precisely because of this that 58 cities have been looking for better car rental partners after launching the car rental business. However, almost all the vehicles that were put on the shelves at the beginning came from traditional car rental companies. The business philosophy is traditional and outdated, the models are single and repetitive, the price is high, the process is complicated and time-consuming, the service is not satisfactory, and the guarantee is not in place.
These have been plaguing 58 cities and users who want to rent a car. Rome was not built in a day, and it is almost impossible to hope that the industry will change spontaneously. In fact, not only 58, but also major OTA platforms are expecting the birth of new concepts, new technologies, new models and new species of car rental.
Driven by the new model, look at the rapid development of car rental. By 2020, the product form has covered WeChat applet, Alipay applet, APP, H5, etc., and has successfully settled in OTA platforms such as Mahoneycomb, 58 City and Flying Pig Travel. , and set up more than 100 outlets in 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, with 20,000 online vehicles and 65,438+10,000 registered users.
