Savaari Car Rentals

The company operates on an asset-light, aggregator business model, connecting customers with a network of verified local cab operators and driver-cum-owners. This allows Savaari to maintain a large, flexible fleet without owning the vehicles, focusing instead on technology, quality control, and customer service. Its primary revenue comes from a commission on each booking made through its platform. Savaari targets the largely unorganized intercity and local rental market, serving retail customers, corporate clients, and online travel agents. In October 2023, the online travel company MakeMyTrip acquired a majority stake in Savaari, although Savaari continues to operate as an independent entity under its existing leadership.

Savaari provides a range of chauffeur-driven services across more than 2,000 cities in India. Its core offerings include outstation round trips, one-way intercity drops, local hourly rentals, and airport transfers. The company differentiates itself by focusing on the intercity road-trip experience, in contrast to competitors primarily focused on intra-city travel. Features designed to enhance the travel experience include pet-friendly cabs, drivers who can serve as local guides, support for multiple languages, and vehicles equipped with luggage carriers. The service emphasizes safety and reliability, with well-trained chauffeurs and a 24/7 customer support system. Over the years, the company has expanded its offerings to include premium services and CNG cab options in select cities.
