SOCAR2U Door-To-Door Car Delivery Service Expands Klang Valley Coverage
Car-sharing platform, SOCAR Malaysia, has expanded its SOCAR2U door-to-door car delivery service coverage in the Klang Valley. Rather than having to make your way to a designated SOCAR parking space to get your requested car, you can now reserve your car and have it delivered to your desired pick-up point. Once your are done with the car, you can have it collected from your preferred car return location instead of returning yourself to a designated SOCAR space.
This convenient service comes at an additional cost of RM10, and applies to any location within the coverage area which spans from USJ 21 to Kota Damansara to Bukit Bintang. Areas covered by this service also includes Damansara Perdana, Mutiara Damansara, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Damansara Utama, Damansara Intan, Sea Park, Bandar Sunway, Subang Jaya and SS15. Previously, this door-to-door delivery service was only limited to Mont Kiara, Bukit Bintang and Bangsar.
“We’ve looked at the demand and driving patterns of our SOCAR members and over time we’ve rolled out new services such as Oneway to the Airport and our newly expanded SOCAR2U service where we deliver a car right to your doorstep. Driven by data, we are a stronger SOCAR, even more attuned to customer preferences. Over the next 12 months, we will be focusing on delivering a customer-first SOCAR experience from the moment you sigh up to the very moment you return your car. One example of this is how the majority of our local driver license approvals are now done within 2 minutes, as long as you enter the right details and expiry dates,” said Leon Foong, CEO of SOCAR Malaysia.
SOCAR is Malaysia’s largest car-sharing platform with 2,000 cars for members to choose from, ranging from the Perodua Axia to Mazda CX-5 to Volkswagen Passat and BMW 330e. With a membership base of 500,000, SOCAR is continuously looking to add a wider variety of vehicles to its fleet to cater to its members’ preferences.
“Although we have seen the demand for car sharing increase tremendously since we first started in January 2018 – testament that choosing Malaysia as the first overseas expansion for SOCAR was the right choice, we are celebrating this key milestone of having deployed 2,000 cars to underline our strength as a tech-enabled company. At SOCAR, we use data to tap into the preferences of our customers, rolling out car models at locations and price points that prove irresistible to our end user. Ultimately, we want SOCAR to go beyond mobility by allowing users to really tap into their deepest desires by giving them the freedom to go to the places they want to,” added Leon.
The SOCAR fleet has about 26 different car models and new cars are added nearly every month. “Our typical reservation is 4 – 5 hours but some users do book it up to 30 days! We started with only 100 SOCAR zones and are proud to have grown that tenfold to over 1,000 SOCAR zones across the Klang Valley, Penang and Johor. If you’re living outside these areas, rest assured that we are looking to expand our services to other states in Malaysia in the near future,” he elaborated.
