KUALA LUMPUR (July 11): Car-sharing app SOCAR Malaysia has launched its latest product — a one-way airport drive where members will be able to commute to the airport with the convenience of dropping off the car at any valid parking zone at the airport.

This feature will ease users from the hassle of returning the car to where they first picked it up. Members will have the option to choose any vehicle in SOCAR's fleet of over 10 different car models including hatchbacks and SUVs based on how much luggage they plan to bring for the trip.

The one-way airport service is open to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and klia2.

SOCAR Malaysia chief executive officer Leon Foong said the one-way airport drive offers an all-inclusive solution to finding a car to the airport that is convenient and flexible at an introductory flat one-way fee of RM50 plus the hourly rental fee for the choice of vehicle.

"We are excited to be the first to bring one-way car-sharing to travellers in Malaysia. Driving yourself to the airport now is as simple as logging into the app, selecting a SOCAR one-way zone nearest to you, picking up the car you need and you are all set to go," he said in a statement today.

As part of the one-way airport drive launch, SOCAR has also announced the release of its YOLO Pass, which is a lucky draw contest for its members. Winners of the YOLO Pass will be provided with a complimentary round trip one-way SOCAR Pass to the airport and a complimentary mystery return flight ticket.

"We often find excuses not to allow ourselves to live in the moment so the idea with the YOLO Pass is to let our members embark on an exciting journey of their own and to truly embrace the adventures that we crave," Foong said.

Starting from July to December 2018, SOCAR will select a member at random to win the YOLO Pass every month. The only condition that members need to adhere to would be their availability to take up the YOLO Pass within one week's notice.

All members registered to the SOCAR app are eligible to be selected as winners as long as they have at least one reservation completed with the car sharing platform in one particular month.

"If SOCAR can become the catalyst to creating memorable memories for our members, we want to go ahead and encourage our members to free themselves from the monotony of their everyday routine," Foong added.
