First people had the option of renting    luxury cars, now the comfort gets to the common mans level    with the coming of a new project through which people can take    a car on rent for a day or maybe even for an hour. Under the    scheme, people drive the car themselves and pay.  <\/p>\n<p>    Called MiCar, it encourages people to drive a car even when    they do not own one or are new to the city. Officegoers can    also avail this service by sharing and keeping their travelling    cost to a bare minimum.  <\/p>\n<p>    Speaking to the media, Suyagya Aggarwal, co-founder and    director, MiCar, said, During my education in the U.S. I had    experienced this concept and understood its utility and wanted    to replicate this international concept in a highly populated    country like India. As per our market survey, there is a vast    untapped market. This is the simplest way of having a car    without the hassles of owning one. To avail the services one    will have to become a member and all that is required to be a    member is a one-time documentation.  <\/p>\n<p>    The cars are available in three segments  Compact, Sedan and    SUV. In the compact section, MiCar offers Volkswagen Polo, in    the sedan section Volkswagen Veneto and in the SUV are Nissans    Terrano. At present the company has a fleet of 50 cars which    will be increased as per the demand. Once you become a member    the company will provide you with a MiKey card which can unlock    any MiCar you wish to drive and inside you will find the car    keys. The company has five pickup points from where one can    pick the car. The points are Dwarka, Malviya Nagar, Sultanpur,    Noida and Gurgaon.  <\/p>\n<p>    If you are too busy to go and pick the car then call and    someone will drop the car at your door step at a nominal charge    but you have to drive the car yourself. The process of booking    is simple. There is dedicated mobile application for making the    booking. The facility comes with flexibility. For instance, you    have rented the car for four hours and want to extend it, all    you have to do is send an SMS and continue with the trip.    However, if you want to avail the facility on a monthly basis,    you can enrol and get a car of your choice. Fill the fuel tank    yourself and return it after paying only the hiring charges. In    case of accidents also you are well taken care of, not only the    car is insured also the driver is relatively safe but you have    to pay a nominal amount.  <\/p>\n<p>    To sum it up, its a viable and convenient transport solution    that is environment-friendly and technologically advanced for    the customer who wants to rent a self-driven car on an hourly    basis.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Go here to see the original:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/features\/metroplus\/freedom-on-wheels\/article6419002.ece?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\/RK=0\/RS=nX0wEbtF7GrlmbFCKCA0uE_O_cA-\" title=\"Freedom on wheels\">Freedom on wheels<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Travelling in the NCR (National Capital Region) is getting easier than ever before.
