Khun Silratth Sukwatthanasiri, CEO and Co-Founder of Drivemate, said, I studies the successful business model in other countries and would replicate it in Thailand. Major problems with car rentals in Thailand are high prices and limited choices. According to the survey study, average cars are in use for only 5 hours and sit idle for 19 hours. Why don't we make value added of those idle cars? Moreover, we put more customer service as the web system is quite new to Thai people for self-service platform. Currently, Drivemate is able to offer variety of over 100 models of cars with 1,000 average rental transactions per month with business expansion.

LMG Insurance continues our strong relationship with Drivemate which is first leading of car-sharing in Thailand that can match with the change of people lifestyle in the city as the future business platform in Thailand.
