New Delhi (India), April 29 : The launch of its new vertical for car rentals
marks a new height in its growth journey, according to GoWheelo-the leader in
two-wheeler rental aggregation platforms in India. This expansion is coupled
with an updated brand identity that signifies the company's changing perception
of itself as a complete urban mobility partner.
The mission of GoWheelo was to organize India's highly fragmented
two-wheeler rental ecosystem. GoWheelo is truly changing the game-the platform
now works with over 55 cities, oversees 300 GoHubs, and runs 5,000 vehicles
demanding affordable, convenient, and independent ways for thousands to move
around.
With car rentals on its platform, GoWheelo now plans to enter the ₹3,000
crore worth Indian car rental market and further its outreach while firmly
adhering to its 100% asset-light, bootstrapped way of functioning.A Mobility
Revolution for the Masses
“India is on the move, and GoWheelo is moving with it,” said Siddharth
Chandra, Founder & CEO of GoWheelo. “From daily commutes to weekend
getaways, our platform now caters to every mobility need—be it two wheels or
four. Our goal remains unchanged: to offer smart, sustainable, and accessible
travel options for all.”
Why Bike Rentals Are Booming
Currently worth $300 million, the bike rental industry in India is still
very much in its infancy and is growing by leaps and bounds. Increasing
urbanization, the emergence of the sharing economy, and heightened focus on
sustainability are all factors pushing more and more people toward renting
instead of owning vehicles.
“People no longer want the burden of ownership,” Chandra added. “What
they want is cost-effective, convenient, and flexible mobility options-and that
is exactly what GoWheelo provides.”
There are multiple reasons why customers choose bike rentals over
purchases:
- Cost-efficiency: Rent
for the exact duration needed.
- Convenience: No maintenance
or storage headaches.
- Flexibility:
Choose the bike that fits your trip or mood.
- Sustainability:
Reduce your carbon footprint with shared mobility.
This model particularly resonates with India's youth. With over 65%
of the population under 35, the country is home to a new generation that
values freedom, flexibility, and sustainability. GoWheelo is empowering this
demographic to commute and explore, without compromise.
Empowering Communities Through Tech
GoWheelo has created a technology-driven platform aimed at systematic
vendor management, aided by deep-tech and feedback loops designed to root out
fraud; the blend of automation and human intervention guarantees the delivery
of trusted services.
Central to the GoWheelo model is community enablement. The company
allows vehicle owners to list their bikes and cars, providing them a source of
steady income, while GoWheelo handles customer interface, payment, and quality
checks. The company earns revenues through a simple commission-based model, creating
value for partners and users alike.
Greener and Smarter
Future
While Indian cities keep fighting congestion and pollution, a
much-needed respite is offered by GoWheelo in encouraging the use of mass
public transport, with its own vehicles providing critical first and last-mile
connectivity.
Commenting on how their platform makes mobility "simple, smart, and
sustainable," Chandra explained, "Whether you are a tourist riding
through Ladakh on a hired bike or a student commuting to college in
Delhi."
With the beginning of its car rental service and a new brand identity
that captures these new mobility ambitions, GoWheelo is clearly evolving from
being just a bike rental platform to be the ultimate trusted travel services in
India on two wheels or four.
