Driver at your finger tips

In a bid to reduce the driving woes for the Hyderabadis, Hitachandra Kanaparti, CEO of Next Drive Transportation and Services Private Limited, launched a new app ‘Driverzz-Any time driver’ recently.

The app was officially launched on March 15 and it sends a professional driver within the booking of 30-minutes to the customer location. For this purpose, they charge Rs 45 for every 30 minutes. One can also avail this facility for long tours and the cost will be Rs 1,500 per day.

Speaking to The Hans India, Hitachandra shares the details of the app. “The idea of ‘Driverzz’ was conceived from the daily challenges encountered in our lives for commuting.

The app provides you with the comfort of travelling in your own car without worrying about traffic or driving or parking, etc. Our mission is to provide reliable drivers at affordable prices using technology (Apps, Website and Phone) as a platform. For regular traveling like from home to office, there is no need of a driver. But when we want to go outstation or somewhere else definitely we need a driver,” Hitachandra Kanaparti said.

Anyone can book a driver, in the app or website (driverzz.com) or by using customer care number (7032223000). “Once you place an order you have to specify your vehicle and trip details. You should also mention your car model and based on your car model we will send the appropriate driver.

We send our drivers within 15-20 minutes to the customer locations in Cyberabad area and 20-30 minutes in Hyderabad area. At present we have 70 drivers and we plan to recruit up to 1,000 drivers by the end of 2017,” he informed.

Hitachandra also said that he plans to expand these services in Vijayawada, Vishakapatnam, Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai and Pune by the end of 2018. He informed that he will introduce these services in 45 cities across India by the end of 2022.

Hitachandra states that customer safety is their utmost priority. “Customer’s safety always comes first. We interview every driver before we recruit. We check their complete details with their previous organisations. We also conduct some driving tests for them. We also verify their background, driving license and criminal records,” he shared.

Hitachandra informed that they are planning to launch services like ‘Parking solutions’, ‘Home-based car wash services’, ‘Roadside assistance,’ Driving school,’ ‘Property management and facility management,’ Security services and more in near future.
