Operated by a third-party operator, such facilities manage end-to-end operations of car listings on behalf of the hosts who want to earn by sharing their cars but find it challenging to do it themselves, Zoomcar said.

The company said leveraging its over decade-old experience in the car sharing business, it helps these fulfilment centres by providing services to guests. Hosts pay a nominal fee to get an array of services from these centres like managing their car, regular cleanliness, safe and secure parking space at top locations in hot spots, delivery and pick up of cars to customers and service centres, among others.
