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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
