Cheaper rates are also now available with GoCar rentals of 3 days or more.
GoCar has recently announced that it has expanded its pioneering one-way trip to now include most of Selangor. Moreover, Malaysia’s leading on-demand car sharing platform has also slashed its rates for round-trip bookings of more than three days.
Initially only available in Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya, GoCar’s one-way trip coverage has since been expanded to include Shah Alam, Sepang, Ampang Jaya, Kajang, Selayang and Klang. This expansion to more areas around Selangor will hence allow even more users to benefit from the unlimited milage short-term rentals that start from as low as RM 0.17 per minute.
Speaking further of this one-way trim service, as the name implies it allows users to pick the vehicle up from one location and conveniently return it at a different location of their choice. Users also do not need to worry about paying for parking during the duration of use and when returning the vehicle as, courtesy of GoCar’s existing partnership with Smart Selangor Parking and Flexi Parking, customers can park at any street parking box in Selangor free of charge.
Now moving onto the other recent announcement regarding the rate reductions of GoCar rental services, the company has revised its long-term round-trip rental rates and has since included a tiered pricing structure with that allows for cheaper rates the longer the rental duration is. The minimum rental duration to be applicable for these discounts however are 3 days, with any rentals below that still subject to the normal dynamic pricing.
Applicable for a variety of cars that range from the Nissan Almera, Renault Captur, Nissan Serena and Nissan Teana, the daily rates span from RM 55 for a 30+ day lease on the Almera to RM 262 for a 3-6 day lease on a Teana or a Serena. Something therefore perhaps for expats to consider, or even out-of-state holidaymakers looking for an affordable alternative to renting a set of wheels for the weekend around their holiday destination.
PRESS RELEASE: GoCar, Malaysia’s leading on-demand car-sharing platform, today announced new and enhanced services offering greater savings and more convenience for customers.
