OneClickDrive : For an effortless car-rental experience

If you are planning a trip to the UAE, and making it memorable is your top priority, you will learn that all the places on your bucket list are far spread across the region. From the magnificent Burj Khalifa to the popular shopping malls, the beautiful palm islands and driving back to the resort of your choice, the best way to travel is by car. How wonderful it would be if you can avail your favourite car to take you to any place your heart desires?

Renting a car is time-saving and far more comfortable compared to public transport, which pretty much feels like owning a car! You can self-drive it or ask for a professional chauffeur, with the best rates guaranteed. There are some organizations that offer these services and charter bus rental in Washington DC.

Fascinated by innovative solutions, seamless service, and added perks that let customers skip hefty maintenance and insurance, the for-hire-vehicle industry has received customers in growing numbers.

Please brief us about the featured person’s(s) journey in the industry and how they have contributed to the firm’s success.

I (Vinay Pagarani) work closely with the web/app development team and the sales team, keeping the user’s needs at the forefront while keeping the interests of his clients in mind is where he spends most of his time and effort. A healthy balance has contributed to OneClickDrive’s success.

Considering the current pandemic, what initial challenges did you face and how did you drive the company to sustain operations while ensuring the safety of your employees at the same time?

OneClickDrive came into existence at a time when the car rental industry was predominantly offline in Dubai. Most shops depended on walk-in customers and outbound telesales. It was an arduous task to get them online and to adopt inbound marketing strategies. Yet the companies that partnered with us are with us to date. They understood that their TA (target audience) in the region is modern and always online.

Cut to the pandemic, when walk-in customers completely vanished for the industry. However, Dubai handled the pandemic extremely well as compared to any other city in the world. The city lockdown and airport closure lasted only a few days. Covid regulations were set in place and the public was allowed to move about. We are thankful to the visionary administrative mindset of Sheikh Mohammed and UAE leaders.

We saw it as an opportunity in disguise and scaled up our digital marketing activities. Users found our partners’ fleet on OneClickDrive and booked with them instantaneously. A lot more companies came on board soon after.

How do you envision scaling your organization’s operations and offerings in 2022 and beyond?

We are working on a CRM SAAS for the car rental industry. One that’s closely aligned with the local UAE market and, moving forward, as per international markets. This will catapult OneClickDrive to new heights in the region. Our main objective is to standardize the industry, streamline its operations and improve customer service.

OneClickDrive is poised to expand globally. We hope to enter the European market as the COVID regulations are put at ease. While we already work with a number of companies online, a local presence would speed things up.
