With customer delight attaining key emphasis, top brands are utilizing luxury motoring as the new tool in their customer acquisition & retention strategies. This trend is also a positive catalyst for companies like Carzonrent who have witnessed a strong demand for luxury travel from their high-end clients. Speaking on the occasion, Rajiv Vij (MD), Carzonrent, noted, “The demand for luxurious personal mobility solutions is rapidly on the rise. We partner with various international and domestic airlines, hotels and financial services companies to service their high flying guests. Today almost 25pc / Rs.40 crore annually of our car rental revenues come from this segment; the demand is growing at a much faster pace as compared to other segments. The brand value of Mercedes-Benz is unparalleled; as such it was our natural choice. The C -Class vehicles that we have in our fleet currently have proved to be extremely reliable even after clocking mileages in the range of 180,000 kms. The low maintenance and excellent service support that we've had from Mercedes-Benz made our choice obvious. The legendary reliability, design and operating efficiencies of the Mercedes Benz C-Class made it the obvious choice. With this transaction, we are the only organization in India to have such a large fleet of luxury cars. We have always believed in setting new benchmarks in the Indian Car Rental industry and this is only a reaffirmation of our long term strategy. “ Honegg commented: “Indians today lead global lifestyles and their mobility preferences reflect this status. A fleet of Mercedes-Benz cars offers a very clear edge to brands that wish to benchmark themselves for their customer oriented services; it is a trend that was pioneered by the hospitality industry but today this approach is utilized by a large number of high-end organizations across different segments. Carzonrent’s association with Mercedes-Benz India is a testimony to this growing trend. We see this trend growing in the future and already have in place a team dedicated towards serving the needs of corporate customers.”
