Description Roadaz is a peer-to-peer car-rental marketplace. It provides an online interface through which private car-owners and small, locally owned rental operators can rent out their vehicles, allowing them to set their own prices and availability dates, as well as selecting who they rent their cars out to. Roadaz takes a 25% service fee on all transactions from private car owners, and a discounted 15% from small operators via the app.

The concept of peer-to-peer car-rental derives from similar proven systems such as AirBNB, Turo.com (US) and Drivy.com (EU).
Business Opportunity The current online car rental market in Malaysia proves to have the following issues:

– Limited fleet of vehicles causing shortages during peak times, ie. weekends and holidays
– Not user-friendly and provide little support
– Unreliable and costly
– Tourists look to user reviewed resources, eg. TripAdvisor and AirBNB

Roadaz aims to take a percentage of this market by providing the following:

– Unlimited fleet, providing a wide range of vehicles across Malaysia and surrounding markets
– 24 hour support system
– Easy-to-use reliable and familiar online booking platform
– Cheaper rental rates
– Cars and their owners will be reviewed by previous renters providing transparency for future renters
– All members are strictly verified and rentals insured through our comprehensive policy

Market size:

– Malaysian car rental market Est. yearly revenue: US$910 million
– Malaysian online car rental market (15% Market Share*) Est. yearly revenue: US$137 million

Capitalising on Small Local Operators (5-50 vehicles)
