Uber's Lion City Rentals unveils 1-week car rentals

It is rebranding its services to attract more types of drivers.

Amidst the rebranding of Lion City Rentals (LCR), the private-hire car rental business of Uber, it will introduce shorter rental terms and other rewards to attract new types of customers.

Four rental terms will be implemented: six months, three months, five weeks, and one week. If the hirer wishes to return the vehicle back to LCR, they must provide LCR with 7 days notice.

The company will start to offer other deals exclusive to their hire partners such as rental rebates for new-sign ups and a loyalty scheme for its top hire partners. It will also implement a ShareCar scheme and recall all Toyota Prius units.

Pascal Ly, general manager of LCR, said that they want to “restart their conversations with drivers” with these new campaigns.

LCR Driver Centres and Collection Sites are also getting a refresh of branded promotions. “We are looking into bringing back up the energy level into our own premises, which will provide even more positive energy to our hire partners,” Ly said.

The business will additionally provide a brand and a know-how from its team to take care of the cars and provide the tools to the hire partners.

“We are also improving the customer experience with even better support by revamping the entire customer journey, with faster, more seamless onboarding process — including improving marketplace efficiency,” Ly added.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
