Drive-to-Own: driver today, owner tomorrow
Rent builds nothing. With our Lease Buy Back plan, your daily payments turn into a cab you own at the end of the lease.
How Drive-to-Own works
- Start with ₹15,000 instead of a big down payment or loan
- Drive the cab on Ola, Uber or outstation and pay a daily rent
- Maintenance and wear and tear stay with us during the lease
- At the end of the lease cycle, the cab is yours
