airasia ride collaborates with Carsome to provide unbeatable deals for drivers to upgrade their vehicle

KUALA LUMPUR, 3 DECEMBER 2021 - The fastest growing e-hailing provider by airasia Super App, airasia ride, is collaborating with Southeast Asia’s largest integrated car e-commerce platform, Carsome, to introduce the “Buy Your Next Ride” campaign that will provide great value and benefits to its drivers seeking to upgrade or replace their vehicle.

This collaboration will enable every airasia ride driver to receive a RM600 voucher to purchase a car on top of existing discounts, as well as a 2-year complimentary after-sales service. Additionally, those who opt to trade-in their cars will be entitled to a RM1,000 flat rebate. 

Lim Chiew Shan, CEO of airasia ride said, “Our main priority here at airasia ride is to make sure our drivers are not only qualified but most importantly happy. For our drivers, their vehicle is their key tool of the trade. The industry is gearing towards making sure drivers are satisfied, which in turn translates into happy customers. Our drivers take home 85% of the fares which is the highest commision rate in the industry. Furthermore, we have also implemented a system that does not penalise the driver for not accepting rides, but rewards them for completing more jobs, thus giving drivers more freedom while reducing stress on the road and at the same time, enhancing their results based on performance. We treat our drivers not as employees but as partners who provide our passengers with the best possible service at the best rates.

“We are pleased to partner with Carsome to reward our drivers with great perks and deals to help ensure the best experience for our drivers and their passengers. We urge our drivers to take advantage of this initiative to get a better deal in buying a new car or trading in their current car for a better one. We also encourage high spirited individuals who are looking to start a new journey with airasia ride, or get a side income opportunity with our new e-hailing service, to reach out to us as well.”

Eric Cheng, Carsome Co-founder & Group CEO added, “At Carsome, we are all about helping people move forward with peace of mind when it comes to mobility solutions. We are happy to work together with like-minded companies like airasia ride and provide their drivers with quality assurance and convenience when they buy their next Carsome Certified car.”

On top of the discount vouchers and complimentary after-sales service, all Carsome Certified cars come with the Carsome Promise, where the cars have passed a 175-point inspection and also come with a 1-year warranty, 5-day money-back guarantee and a fixed price with no hidden fees, promising car buyers the best in quality and value.” 

airasia ride drivers will also have the added advantage of leveraging the airline brand to better serve customers travelling to and from the airport. Guests on AirAsia flights now have the option of booking their rides upon purchasing their flights, allowing drivers to secure more jobs in advance and plan their trips more efficiently and productively. They will also have real-time information on passenger arrivals, enabling drivers to have better time management by reducing waiting time, resulting in the ability to make more trips, and earn more.

On top of that, drivers take 85% of the net fares (excluding toll charges), higher than other e-hailing providers in the market, making it a viable part-time job option and side income opportunity. Fares on airasia ride are set based on fair pricing, which takes into consideration what our guests can afford while still compensating for any extra travel time caused by heavy traffic.
