Last week, Beijing and Shanghai announced that they would strictly check the illegal operation of private cars. In Beijing, private cars will be strictly forbidden for car rental companies, and car rental companies are prohibited from being equipped with drivers. Shanghai has announced that it will expand the scope of investigation of illegal passenger operations and strengthen supervision of illegal activities of hitchhiking software.
The analysis believes that the current Internet software rental industry is getting more and more attention, and some private cars are attracted to these companies to join the car rental industry, suspected of illegal operations, resulting in the introduction of relevant regulations in Beijing and Shanghai.
The industry believes that if strictly enforced, the regulations issued in Beijing and Shanghai will have a greater impact on some companies that subscribe to car rental services through the Internet and mobile phone software.
Focus 1 prohibits private cars from doing leasing operations It is reported that the “Notice on Prohibiting Car Rental Enterprises from Facilitating Illegal Operation†issued by Beijing (hereinafter referred to as the “Noticeâ€) stipulates that private cars may not engage in car rental operations, and operators must Equipped with vehicles. The "Notice" mentioned that the Internet car rental software operators or the initiative to negotiate car rental with car rental companies, or self-registered car rental companies but not in accordance with the provisions of the record, and all kinds of private cars in the name. "The purpose is not to engage in car rental operations in accordance with the law, but to engage in illegal business activities." The industry said that according to the "Notice", some vehicles providing services could not escape the "black car" suspect.
It is understood that some of the vehicles provided by light asset car rental companies that provide car rental services through car rental software are partly from professional car rental companies, but at the same time, many car rental software companies are recruiting through various channels in order to rapidly expand their scale. Private cars join, and even car rental companies clearly mark the profit-sharing signs, attracting private cars to join the ranks of leasing.
Beijing’s strict regulations will have a major impact on the car’s previous luck. Several Beijing car owners interviewed by this reporter said that they do not consider providing private cars to the relevant car rental companies because the income and risks are disproportionate. Once they are caught, they will not be paid for.
Focus 2 car rental can not be equipped with drivers Secondly, the "Notice" clearly prohibits the car rental service with drivers, to avoid confusion with passenger transportation. Moreover, the "Notice" also stipulates that car rental operations must be registered in accordance with the law and filed in accordance with regulations, and it is illegal to not file for registration and engage in car rental operations.
It is reported that at present, there are enterprises in China that are easy to use cars, PP rental cars, treasure car rental cars, AA cars and other car rental services through Internet software.
It is understood that the current operating mode of software rental companies in China is to cooperate with leasing companies, or to use the rental company's own vehicles to hire drivers to operate; or private car owners to hang vehicles under the name of the leasing company, I pass the labor service company and About car rental companies sign up. At present, the rental company of some software rental cars is that the car rental software company will provide a driver when the user successfully calls the car rental service through the car rental software.
What is causing concern in the industry is that in addition to Beijing, Shanghai has recently expanded the scope of investigation and handling of illegal passenger operations, and has also added regulatory measures for illegal activities of call information service providers, that is, to strengthen the illegal activities of the rider software. Supervision.
Shanghai said that the government management department found that during the operation of the mobile phone software taxi service, a small number of car information service providers did not verify whether the registered drivers and vehicles have operational qualifications, resulting in a mixed legal and regular passenger service team. The black car and the black car driver contributed to the illegal passenger operation.
Industry: Software car rental industry faces challenges In the context of the rapid development of mobile Internet, domestic Internet software car rental services have developed rapidly in recent years. According to Analysys data, the scale of China's Internet rental car market reached 3.25 billion yuan in the first quarter of 2014, an increase of 19.9%. .
The industry said that the relevant "Notice" issued by Beijing and the increase in crackdown on illegal passenger operations in Shanghai will pose serious challenges to software rental car rental companies that do not have their own car's light assets. Because these companies do not own their own cars, once private cars are strictly prohibited from entering P2P rental companies and drivers are strictly prohibited, how P2P rental companies attract users to rent cars will test the capabilities of each company.
