Zoomcar and Uber Join Forces to Simplify Road Trip Planning
Zoomcar, India’s leading peer‑to‑peer car‑sharing platform, and Uber, the country’s most‑used ride‑hailing app, have teamed up to make road trips easier. Travelers using the Zoomcar app can now compare and book self‑drive cars or Uber Intercity chauffeur‑driven rides in one place.
Key Features
- Dual Choice: Users can decide between driving themselves or relaxing while an Uber Intercity driver takes the wheel.
- Integrated Experience: Both options appear side‑by‑side within the Zoomcar app for one‑way or round‑trip journeys.
- Launch Cities: Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, and Mumbai — with expansion planned to more destinations.
Leadership Insights
- Deepankar Tiwari, CEO of Zoomcar Holdings, said the collaboration ensures travelers don’t need to leave the platform to choose between freedom and comfort.
- Rishant Ghosh, Director of Consumer & Growth at Uber India & South Asia, noted that Uber Intercity demand is rising across metros and Tier‑2 cities, especially for weekend getaways and family visits.
Broader Mobility Trend
This partnership reflects India’s shift toward “access over ownership.” Travelers increasingly prefer flexible, on‑demand mobility — sometimes driving themselves, other times being driven — depending on the journey.
