Zoomcar, Wego to unlock self-drive travel for tourists in India

Zoomcar, India's leading self-drive car sharing marketplace, has partnered with Wego to provide travellers with easy access to self-drive rentals in India.
 
The partnership is a response to rising airfares, currency fluctuations, and tariff tensions, which are causing uncertainty in global tourism and trade flows.
 
India's expanding infrastructure, diverse road-trip routes, and favorable exchange rates make it a high-value destination for both domestic and inbound regional travel.
 
Wego users can now book from over 25,000+ self-drive cars across 99+ cities in India directly via the Wego platform, with hyperlocal availability.
 
 Zoomcar's data reveals that travellers are increasingly choosing self-drive for longer itineraries, particularly during vacations and long weekends, valuing autonomy, privacy, and cost-effectiveness.
 
The partnership empowers users with greater flexibility amidst global changes impacting travel choices, offering a homegrown, cost-efficient alternative to traditional ground transport for both domestic and international audiences.
 
“We’re seeing a decisive shift in how people want to travel — flexibility, independence, and immersion matter more than ever,” said Anirudh Lamba – Head of Partnerships, Zoomcar. “Our partnership with Wego helps us serve evolving travellers better, especially those coming from the Middle East and Southeast Asia who want to explore India on their own terms.”
 
Bernard Corraya, General Manager, India, said:  "We are thrilled to partner with Zoomcar to bring greater convenience and control to travellers exploring India. This collaboration supports our mission to enhance every stage of the traveler’s journey from flight and stay to local mobility. With self-drive access now just a tap away, our users can unlock a more personal and memorable way to experience one of the world’s most diverse destinations." -TradeArabia News Service
