Peer-to-peer (P2P) car sharing allows everyday car owners to rent out their vehicles to others through a secure platform โ€” like Drive lah.

Instead of going through a traditional rental agency, guests book cars directly from nearby owners who arenโ€™t using them.

How It Works

Car Owners List Their Vehicle

Owners make their cars available on Drive lah when not in use.

Guests Book the Car

Guests browse and book vehicles that suit their needs โ€” often at lower prices than traditional rentals.

Coordinate Pickup

Handover is arranged directly between host and guest

Trip in Progress

Guests use the car during the booking period with full insurance and support coverage.

Return and Review

The car is returned, and both parties can leave reviews. The vehicle is now ready for the next booking.

Importance:

For Car Owners (Hosts):

Earn passive income from an underused asset.

Offset car ownership costs.

Contribute to reducing urban car congestion.

For Guests:

Access a wide range of vehicle types (convertibles, 7-seaters, etc.).

Pay less than you would with traditional rental companies.

Enjoy flexible pickup locations and booking times.

Is It Safe?

Yes. Drive lah is built for trust and peace of mind:

Verified drivers and hosts

Insurance and roadside assistance included

Secure payment processing

In-app communication and 24/7 support

Why Peer-to-Peer Sharing?

Lower costs for guests

Extra earnings for car owners

Reduced idle cars on the road

Convenient, community-driven access to mobility

Peer-to-peer car sharing is a smarter, more sustainable way to drive โ€” connecting people who need a car with those who have one to share.
