CARZUNO DRIVES INTO THAILAND WITH CAR SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES

 

 

The fully digital car subscription service allows Thai residents to subscribe to a new car in only 3

minutes, providing a more flexible and seamless alternative to traditional private vehicle

ownership

 

 

31 MARCH 2022 – Carzuno, a Singapore-based all-inclusive subscription platform for cars, announced

today that it has launched its operations across Thailand. The company hired Wisate Kirin (ex-Carro,

Toyota, Michelin) and Cathrin Samijtiwong (ex-Servcorp, HappyFresh) to spearhead the car subscription

operations and enhance Carzuno's service offering by creating local partnerships, expanding the local

team and speed tracking more cars on the platform, specifically EVs. The new market entry follows

Carzuno’s successful launch in Singapore and oversubscribed pre-seed funding round completed in

December 2021.

 

 

“We are extremely excited to introduce Thai residents to our car subscription platform, Thailand’s first

Expedia for cars - a new form of car ownership that doesn't require any loans or down payment. We are

doing so by replicating the seamless subscription process we have successfully modeled in Singapore,

kicking off with 50 car models for every need, including entry-level and high-end cars. I am also thrilled to

bring Cathrin and Wisate on board as we look to collaborate with more local partners and improve the

online experience of our local customers. Following our BETA phase, we have proved our hypothesis that

Thailand embraces car subscriptions, and we are humbled and energised by the positive feedback we

received from our users and partners,” said Amrt Sagar, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at

Carzuno.

 

 

Carzuno has quickly expanded in Singapore, since its launch in July 2021, registering hundreds of

subscribers in only 9 months. The wide adoption in Singapore naturally directed the company to extend

its technological platform to Thailand, one of the largest automotive markets and one of the highest credit

card penetration rates in Southeast Asia. The country also has a sizable expat population who can benefit

from a flexible car subscription model for their business and personal needs.

 

 

Local Offerings and a Local Team Carzuno’s local team in Thailand is led by Wisate Kirin (ex-Carro, Toyota, Michelin) and Cathrin Samijtiwong (ex-Servcorp, HappyFresh).

 

 

"There is tremendous potential for car subscription services in Thailand as consumers are constantly

looking for fuss-free solutions. Carzuno removes the hassle from the traditional car ownership experience

for locals and expats. I am excited to work with Amrt, Andrew and the rest of the team to change the way

Thai consumers access cars. Our focus is to work closely with our Partners and bring onboard brand new

cars and EVs (Electric Vehicles) in the near future, to cater to the growing customer demand” said Wisate

Kirin, General Manager at Carzuno Thailand.

 

 

Carzuno.com offers monthly packages ranging from 1 to 24-month car subscription plans where users

can discover their dream car and subscribe to it with just their credit card. The fully digital process takes

three minutes: the users need to select their car, fill up a short form and pay using their credit card. The

chosen car will be delivered to their doorstep in under 24 hours, similar to Carzuno’s service in

Singapore. The flat monthly subscription fee includes everything from the car, insurance, servicing, taxes

and a 24/7 breakdown service hotline. Subscribers can also change their cars at the end of their

subscription period based on their needs and lifestyles. Carzuno offers over 50 models in Thailand,

including entry-level cars such as Toyota Yaris and high-end cars like Ferrari and Porsche.

 

 

Carzuno’s fully digital car subscription service, quick doorstep delivery and all-in fee have been a huge hit

in Singapore. Through partnerships with established rental partners such as Avis and Sixt, Carzuno

provides the widest range of cars available online in Singapore. Carzuno has been well received by

Singaporean consumers, resulting in the company beating out existing incumbents in the automotive

industry and winning the Expat Living Gold Award for the Best Auto Subscription service.
