News Synopsis

Zoomcar, one of India’s leading self-drive car rental platforms, has significantly expanded its Home Delivery service. The feature, now available in 14 major Indian cities, enhances convenience for customers and offers greater flexibility for vehicle owners (Hosts) on the platform.

Home Delivery: Cars Delivered to Your Doorstep

With the improved Home Delivery option, Zoomcar guests can have their rental vehicles delivered directly to their preferred location, eliminating the need to visit designated pickup points.

The service is now operational in major urban centers, including:

  • Bengaluru

  • Mumbai

  • Delhi

  • Chennai

  • Hyderabad

  • Pune

  • Ahmedabad

  • Jaipur

  • Chandigarh

  • Kochi

  • Kanpur

  • Nasik

  • Vizag

Zoomcar has also announced plans to extend the service to more markets by the end of August.

Greater Flexibility for Vehicle Owners

Zoomcar has introduced several operational upgrades to improve the way Hosts (vehicle owners) manage deliveries.

Previously, Hosts had to choose between enabling delivery for all bookings or none at all. The new system provides greater control, allowing Hosts to:

  • Define custom delivery zones on a map

  • Specify delivery availability based on time of day

  • Temporarily pause delivery without removing the vehicle from the platform

This flexibility is designed to encourage broader participation from vehicle owners, leading to more vehicles being available for rental.

Positive Results from New Delivery Model

Zoomcar’s updated delivery model has already shown promising results:

  • 10% increase in Host engagement since the rollout

  • Higher booking reliability across the platform

  • Vehicles with delivery enabled continue to record stronger user engagement and conversion rates compared to those without delivery

This demonstrates how convenience plays a major role in attracting customers and increasing Host activity.

Hybrid Fulfillment with Driver Partnerships

To further expand the service, Zoomcar has partnered with third-party driver networks. In cases where a Host does not opt to deliver a vehicle themselves, a professional driver from a partner network can handle the delivery to the guest.

This hybrid fulfillment model is already managing 12% of total bookings and is expected to grow as the network’s coverage improves.

Official Statement from Zoomcar

Anirudh Lamba, Head of Brand & Partnerships at Zoomcar, explained the goal behind these updates:

“The integration of flexible Host tools and external driver partnerships is intended to improve access to self-drive rentals while supporting vehicle owners in maximizing utilization.”

A Growing Platform with Nationwide Reach

Zoomcar currently has more than 40,000 vehicles listed on its platform and serves a user base exceeding 10 million customers across 90 cities in India.

The expansion of the Home Delivery service is part of the company’s broader strategy to strengthen its foothold in India’s fast-growing self-drive rental market.

About Zoomcar: Promoting Urban Mobility

Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Bengaluru, Zoomcar operates a peer-to-peer car-sharing model. The platform allows private vehicle owners to list their cars when not in use, making urban transportation more flexible, cost-effective, and sustainable.

As the Home Delivery service continues to roll out nationwide, Zoomcar remains focused on building features that improve:

  • User experience

  • Vehicle availability

  • Operational efficiency

These upgrades are expected to attract new users and further strengthen the marketplace ecosystem.
