Get a Car Delivered Within 1 Hour After Reservation… Socar Launches ‘Immediate Delivery’ Beta in Seoul

'After Work & Commute' Product Maintains 15,900 Won Weekday Rate

Socar announced on September 15 that it will operate the 'Immediate Delivery' beta service, which delivers a car to the location of your choice within one hour after a car-sharing request, throughout Seoul.

The usage method is the same as the existing delivery (formerly called 'Burum') service. Customers select 'Immediate Delivery' in the app and choose a car based on their current location, after which Socar delivers the car directly to that spot.

If a car assignment is not confirmed within 5 minutes after a customer selects a vehicle, the reservation will be automatically canceled, and no cancellation fee will be charged. If the vehicle delivery is delayed, Socar will compensate by granting 'credits' that can be used in the Socar app, according to the stage of the delay.

Since 2018, Socar has introduced a delivery service that brings vehicles to the location requested by customers. Typically, a reservation must be made at least 4 hours in advance for regular cars, while for the premium Black Label service, a minimum of 6 hours advance booking is required.

Additionally, Socar will continue to offer the special 'After Work & Commute' product, which allows rentals from 6 p.m. to 10 a.m. the next day, at a weekday rate of 15,900 won. Also, for one-way car-sharing of 4 hours or more, the 'one-way fee,' which is charged separately from the rental fee, will be discounted by 50 percent.

Meanwhile, Socar plans to immediately implement measures to support mobility for Seoul citizens—such as providing a 65 percent discount coupon on rental fees—should the Seoul city bus union proceed with its strike as announced from September 16.

Donghwa An, Head of Car Sharing at Socar, stated, "We will continue to enhance convenience so that car sharing naturally becomes part of everyday journeys, including commutes, in addition to travel and long-distance trips on weekends," adding, "Our goal is to offer a service that allows anyone to use a car easily and instantly whenever they need one."
