DriveU Launches India’s First Super App for Car Owners
Pune, August 6th, 2021: DriveU, India’s largest on-demand private driver hiring app, has launched a first of its kind “Super App” for car owners in India. This aims to assist users for all services around a vehicle’s life cycle. DriveU’s new app brings together leading automobile related businesses on to a single platform, allowing users to discover, research, compare and purchase services such as general maintenance, car spa treatments, car purchase, insurance, FASTag, and roadside assistance.
“Businesses in the vehicle ownership segment are highly fragmented, focus on a single product/service, and are mostly low-frequency purchases. This does not allow businesses opportunities to provide immediate gratification to customers to engage with their platform for up to 6-12 months. The goal of DriveU Super App is to bring all services around car ownership under one roof and provide rewards coins that can be utilized on other services immediately,” says Ashok Shastry, Co-founder and COO of DriveU. He adds, “Customers benefit from purchasing services through DriveU because they can easily compare services across brands on a single platform, and businesses benefit because of our highly targeted audience who have high-intent to utilize their accrued DriveU Coins on exclusive offers.This is currently accessed by users in Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi NCR, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, Kolkata ”
DriveU Super App has partnered with leading industry leaders such as CarDekho, Cars24, Spinny, ReadyAssist, Pitstop, Vehicle Care, Acko and many more city specific brands across categories. Businesses on the DriveU Super App can reach over three lakh verified and valued car owners and offer customised and exclusive deals. Rajat Kumar, Head Consumer Auctions, CarDekho adds, “DriveU is a great auto services platform and we are glad to associate with them. We, at CarDekho, aim to provide exceptional value and services to DriveU customers and enable them to sell their cars at great market value in the most convenient way possible.”
Mihir Mohan, Founder, Pitstop on partnering with DriveU said, “We are very excited about the strategic partnership with DriveU. This partnership will bring immense value to the end customer creating synergies between the offerings of DriveU and Pitstop. Pitstop aims to provide unparalleled car care and convenience to car owners in India and an alliance with DriveU takes us a step ahead in that direction.”

Present in 9 cities, DriveU already has the largest network of verified and trained drivers on demand. DriveU enables consumers to hire temporary drivers to drive them for their regular shopping, running errands, business meetings, airport drops and pickups, day to day commuting, outstation travels and for attending social events at restaurants, bars, concerts, weddings, parties and more.
