General Motors will launch a short-term rental program in Chicago this month with a fleet of 125 Chevrolets. The program, called Express Drive, will allow you to rent vehicles for up to eight weeks, including free maintenance and insurance. The company said in a statement that the service will expand “soon in Boston, Washington DC, and Baltimore as part of a nationwide network.
There is also an opportunity to rent a car in Ukraine. Car rental in Kiev from SVcar allows you to dispose of a car on the territory of Ukraine, where the SVcar Assistanse service operates, which will provide assistance in unforeseen situations. The SVcar fleet includes over 60 cars of various classes and brands, which are guaranteed to be in good working order and insured. In addition, there is an opportunity to rent a car in Kharkov and Odessa, and in the near future it is planned to expand the network in Dnepropetrovsk and Lviv.
Vehicle rental logistics are growing globally, and General Motors plans to partner with car rental companies through its Express Drive program. According to these companies, the program should attract thousands of people who do not have vehicles.
In addition, about 60,000 people in the Chicago market wanted to work as drivers for LYFT, but were turned down because their cars were too old or did not meet other requirements. Drivers who make fewer than 40 trips per week will pay $ 99 per week and 20 cents per mile. Within 40 - 64 trips, the mileage charge will be canceled. Drivers who complete 65 or more trips will have free access to the vehicle.
Lyft President John Zimmer said in an interview that Express Drive offers a competitive edge over rivals such as Uber by offering free insurance and maintenance and free wheel prospects. He said that working with one of the largest car manufacturers “will enable us to do for our drivers and customers what others cannot.”
