KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, March 16 (Bernama-PRNewswire) — The success of GoCar’s pilot P Licence campaign highlights the need for services that support the entire community. GoCar Malaysia is extending a helping hand by expanding GoCars to all including P Licence holders, starting in April 2020. From conducting daily activities to acting quickly in emergency situations, transportation is an important part of the infrastructure, and GoCar is driven to ensure that crucial services are available to all.
With the majority of students and young adults opting out of buying a car due to the never-ending expenses and long-term responsibilities, the need for affordable, accessible and flexible transport has never been more necessary. The vast majority of car rental services do not allow P Licence holders to rent cars, and this is where GoCar comes in. The pilot phase of the campaign allowed P Licence members to drive selected GoCars from locations within Klang Valley, and quickly proved that demand is high. Since the launch in November 2019, the GoCar App has seen a 500% increase in the number of active P Licence members, with a significant portion of these members aged between 18 – 21 years old.
