Jakarta – The public’s need to use private cars as a convenient and fast means of transportation has become a basic need in both major cities such as Jakarta and areas with tourism destinations.
Hyke Car Rental, a car rental company in North Jakarta, is aware of this and is continuously working to improve the quality of its car rental services, while ensuring quality while keeping prices affordable.
“Our customers’ convenience is always our top priority, and this includes anticipating the current increasing demand for electric car rentals,” said one of the founders of Hyke Car Rental, Ahmad Taufik Akbar, in Jakarta on Sunday, August 11.
He explained that while the dominance of fossil fuel vehicles (FVs) is still undeniable at present, the penetration of the electric vehicle market in Indonesia has been uneven in recent times.
“I think Wuling is Tesla’s big enemy, but it turns out that its competitors like BYD or Ionic (Hyundai) are also quite popular with certain parts of society,” he said.
Taufik observes that the trend in the urban rental industry is increasingly toward electric vehicles, which are more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly.
For this reason, he opened the door for partners who want to rent out their electric car through Hyke Car Rental, with the opportunity to earn more money.
“We are one of the car rental providers that is constantly growing. We are, so to speak, a link between customers and partners,” he added.
With at least 14 partners and 80 cars, Hyke Car Rental is expected to continue to grow and offer both driver-driven and keyless rental services at competitive prices starting from Rp. 300,000 to Rp. 2.5 million.
Since opening three months ago, Hyke car rental, called Taufik, has welcomed many customers aged 25 to 34, which represents 58 percent of all customers.
Meanwhile, Satori, owner and founder of another Hyke car rental service, explained that customers who want to rent a car only need to provide an ID card and an active source of income.
“All vehicles are guaranteed to be in top condition and ready for use by customers, so that they do not experience any engine problems on the road,” says Satori.
In the future, Hyke Car Rental will also provide an application so that customers can order rental cars more conveniently and safely. In addition, the management will continue to drive the expansion of the business area.
“We continue to strive to reach the next level of car rental where we can expand our core businesses to include travel, car washing, body painting and repair, spare parts and accessories in the future,” he concluded.
