"Zoomcar is India's largest peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace"
A service that matches private car owners who want to rent out their vehicles with people who need short-term access, usually through an online platform that handles booking, payments, insurance, and sometimes vehicle pickup. Think of it as an Airbnb for cars: it turns underused personal vehicles into rented assets. It matters to investors because these platforms create new revenue streams, affect demand for new-car sales and rentals, and face regulatory, insurance and liability risks that can influence profitability.

Now compare self-drive and chauffeur-driven Intercity options within the Zoomcar app

BENGALURU, India and NEW YORK, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoomcar (OTCQB: ZCAR), India's leading peer-to-peer car-sharing platform, and Uber (NYSE: UBER), India's most-loved ride-hailing app, have joined hands to make planning road trips easier and simpler. Now, travelers searching for a self-drive vehicle on the Zoomcar app will also be able to discover and book Uber Intercity rides in case they prefer to get chauffeur-driven cars. The partnership will give Zoomcar app users the choice to pick a self-drive option or take a back seat with an Uber Intercity driver at the wheel - comparing the options at one place and choosing what suits them best for their travel needs.

Zoomcar Logo

The collaboration brings together two complementary travel options on select routes for one-way or round trips. The integration delivers a richer mobility experience for a growing segment of Indian travelers who value flexibility, premium experiences and access over ownership. The partnership has gone live in Bengaluru, Delhi NCR and Mumbai, with plans to expand to more cities over time.

Deepankar Tiwari, Chief Executive Officer, Zoomcar Holdings, Inc., said: "Zoomcar is where India's most intentional travelers come to plan how they move. Some of them want the freedom of a self-drive car. Others, on other days or other trips, want the comfort of being driven. Both needs are valid, and both deserve a world-class experience. By partnering with Uber, we're making sure that when a Zoomcar user faces that choice, they don't have to leave our platform to find the answer. That's what serving the traveler fully looks like."

Rishant Ghosh, Director of Consumer & Growth, Uber India & South Asia, said: "Uber Intercity has increasingly become the preferred choice for travel across cities, with demand growing across Tier-2 and metro markets alike. We're also seeing more Indians choose road trips for weekend getaways, family visits and holidays. Through this partnership with Zoomcar, we're making Uber Intercity accessible to even more travelers, giving them another convenient way to book reliable, comfortable outstation rides."

The Consumer at the Heart of It: Access Over Ownership

Both Zoomcar and Uber reflect a broader shift in how Indians think about mobility. Increasingly, consumers are choosing access over ownership, opting for flexible, on-demand transportation instead of owning a vehicle. For some journeys, that means the freedom of driving themselves through Zoomcar. For others, it means the convenience of sitting back in an Uber Intercity ride. This partnership brings both choices together, allowing travelers to compare self-drive and chauffeur-driven options in one place and choose what best suits each trip.

The same traveler may choose to drive on one journey and be driven on the next. By bringing both experiences together, Zoomcar and Uber are making it easier to choose the right option for every journey, while serving a growing segment of travel enthusiasts looking for greater flexibility, convenience and choice.
