The India Self Drive Car Rental Market is heavily concentrated in Tier 1 and the entire major

cities in India; however, the market has not reached stagnancy in these areas as there is a
huge gap in demand and supply. Self-Drive car Fleet in India is expected to increase in the
future, thus growing at a positive CAGR of approximately 12.6%, due to increased level of
Investments and Strategic Partnerships of the players with other Service Providers. Last
couple of years saw the establishment of various start-ups and small private companies due
to heavy investments by Private equity and VC firms. India is expected to emerge as the
world’s third-largest passenger-vehicle market by 2022 in terms of sales. Renting a car and
driving it yourself is still a rudimentary concept that negates the need for buying a car. India
being a developing country with infrastructure being still a big issue, most cities in India are
still facing issues of traffic congestions and limited parking spaces. Therefore, it has been
seen that our younger generation in the age group of 25-35 years is particularly attracted to
this idea of car rentals, defying the orthodox Indian household desire of owning at least one
car in the house. This is also to do with the fact that a large share of this population is
working in their non-native cities, and therefore investing in the liability of a car does not
really appeal to them. To satiate the demand of this emerging trend, various companies are
putting their hands into this business of self drive rental. Self-drive cars on rent is a popular
concept in the West and like all other things, has been well imitated in India by a few early
startup companies like Zoom car, drivezy, Revv and Myles. The time-based and on-demand
car rental service is great for those who have to make multiple stops while driving across the
city.
