in driver and rider safety and tie- ups and collaborations between different

Leasing market is highly concentrated with the presence of few big players
constituting majority of the market. The major competition parameters are
price, fleet variations, value added services offered, age of the car and ease
of availability. A major reason for increase in car rental and leasing market
will be utilization of rental and leased vehicles for executing jobs in app

fulfill short term needs of other companies is expected to increase the
