Those looking to become an Uber driver will soon have a new entry into the ride-hailing network. The Cartrade Group, together with Koperasi Pelaburan Amanah Berhad (KAPB), has entered into a partnership with Proton to create Quick Ride, a company that will lease vehicles to prospective Uber driver-partners.
The service will offer UberX drivers a brand new Proton Saga 1.3 Standard CVT at RM45 per day and a Proton Persona 1.6 Standard CVT at RM55 per day over a three-year period. The cost covers vehicle maintenance (except for tyres and fuel), road tax and insurance, and WiFi and a tablet will also be thrown in for riders to use in the car. A courtesy car will also be provided in the event the car needs to be serviced.
Quick Ride says that the service is targeted at fresh graduates, the unemployed and those wishing to supplement their primary income. The company will initially offer 1,000 vehicles for lease, with plans to expand the fleet to 10,000 vehicles over the next two years.
“We applaud KAPB and Proton’s effort to provide economic empowerment using Uber’s technology, especially to those who need it,” said Uber general manager for expansion Karina Ali Noor. “This partnership demonstrates the innovative ways for economic empowerment and how ride-sharing has the potential to positively impact the socioeconomic status of Malaysians.”
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
emmm… after lease than lelong?
How come sewa Taxi merah putih so high ?
Taxi saga also rm45 per day
Whutt! 20yrs smelly Taxi saga iswara rm45 per day.
1.3k a month for a saga is just insane. Who in their right mind would subscribe to this crazy scheme.
Someone who can earn 3~4k above per month with that Saga3?
when u r black listed, such scheme will be useful.
you get free maintenance and you get a new car.
you are not tied to 9 yrs loan like hire purchase, tenure is 3 yrs only.
Rm45, rm55 per day they call cheap…
Renting Almera is cheaper, from rm200 per week. Divide by 7 days, u decide who is cheaper per day.
Rm200 a day got la, where to find almera rm200 a week?
It is Gold Grab program….
where to rent almera with rm200 per week?? afaik .. bezza is rm550 per week … but maintenance bear by the company
Posting link here is hard, u can google “grab rent almera”, you’ll definitely see it.
Latest rate may have changed, but it doesn’t change the fact such rate was once offered to rent Almera.
Grab after all is founded by Tan Chong’s family member, not surprised such special rate applies for their car.
Grab gold leasing. 5 years contract. Only rm200 per week
This proton got contract too, 3 years.
The Almera got option for 6 month contract at RM300 per week.
If kena ban how?
Ada sauce rent Almari Rm200/week?
At Rm28/day pau maintenance, even periperisamy can ditch his Toyota SA come parttime basher job and be Grabuber driver.
Google “grab rent almera”, you’ll see it.
It was quite awhile, so I dunno if price changed edi.
I do not see leasing as an issue here or elsewhere but there are however added risks when fresh graduates and unemployed are involved. Presume it has been considered during lease pricing.
Might as well buy the car yourself and pay much less than that per day.
that if u have money..if u don’t?
Zero downpayment.
RM45 also include the time car spend in workshop for foreman to identify unknown problem like other Proton models?
What r problems & what other models?
Wiring problem, fitting problem, electronic problem, ECU problem …..and yes, power window still have problem…. what you are giving now is just longer warranty but it didn’t solve the problem.
Macamlah tak tau. Pandai pura-pura.
So this is something like Big Blue of rideshare?
better just get the Saga. If top up to a persona is pointless as it still falls under UberX which has the same fare as Saga.
Yes, but when I hail uber if I see Viva/Axia/Saga I always reject. So does all of my friends.
Reason? It’s to get you from point A to point B. It’s not like you’re deciding between sitting in a Wira and in an Accord….
cancel that 5 times in a row and uber will suspend your rider account.
Want sit Camry but pay UberX price also? Pui, your mentality same as third world
Get the ‘sambung bayar’ is cheaper. My colleague got a 2016 saga flx for 500/mth. Ok la for grab. Can use kaw2 later return back. No loan needed. Depo just 4k.
Proton Persona is ok, but Proton Saga?!? Why would we want 4-star crash rated vehicles?
Also, i wish that other cars would have been chosen that used other types of energy, e.g. Electric. Electric would especially work well in small cities like Penang
At least Proton have more safety features than Perodua
So how does this leasing work? Say if I want to drive part time two days during weekend can I just lease for those two days?
What are the terms & conditions including other hidden requirements
