MYLES service in Coimbatore currently consists of the Toyota Etios.

India’s largest self-drive service provider, MYLES, has now started its services in the city of Coimbatore. With this addition, the car sharing and self- drive service by Carzonrent is now present in 21 cities and more than a 100 locations.

All MYLES cars are centrally tracked through GPS technologies which allow the customers to find a car within walking distance of their location through a mobile application. At present, MYLES has a fleet of Toyota Etios cars in Coimbatore.

The sharing and self-drive service allows everyone to have a car without the burden of owning one. The self-driven car operator’s space has recently witnessed quite a buzz with players such as Car Club and ZoomCar also being actively involved in expansion activities.

While Car Club plans to invest Rs 180 crore in the next three years to expand its self-driven car fleet to a strength of 5,000 cars from the current 300, Carzonrent is keen on developing the MYLES fleet to around 40,000 in the next five years with an investment of Rs 400 crore.
