HYDERABAD, India, September 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Ever thought of travelling to a new city without any pre-arranged taxis? Well if this was asked in 2006, the answer would be 'no'. But today with the mushrooming car rental industry, this is no more a dream. Ola, Uber, Meru Cabs and others have made life so comfortable and convenient for the users. The car rental market in India is poised to grow by $7 billion by 2020, which shows the potential of this burgeoning market.

The market at present is led by two major players - Ola cabs and Uber cabs who are fighting for the major market share. For both of them 60% of the major revenue comes from 7 major cities (Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai and Bengaluru); emerging cities like Pune, Indore, Jaipur and Ahmedabad contribute for 40% of the users. At present, Ola is handling approximately 7.5 Lakh bookings per day whereas Uber accounts for 5.8 Lakh bookings. Ola has a fleet size of 3.25 lakhs and Uber has a fleet of 2.5 lakhs, and both reached 1 million bookings per day by the first quarter of 2016.
But what has made this market so big - Just the competitive pricing? Or is it their increase in fleet or facilities offered to the clients. Well, a big credit can also go to the online coupons and attractive promotions that have lured consumers to opt for these cabs offering never before prices or an unforgettable experience.
In a survey by leading Ecoupons Company, Shop Pirate Coupons, among Ola and Uber cabs users, more than 62% car riders use the promo codes and ecoupons to travel within the city and approximately 24% use these coupons for outstation travels.
