Mayflower Car Rental

user posted image

ESTABLISHED SINCE 1960
Mayflower today is a total travel service specialist and transportation solutions provider in Malaysia, offering a diverse range of products and services for individuals and corporations on leisure and business travel.


As the pioneer in the Malaysia car rental industry and the first to introduce luxurious air-conditioned coaches in the country, Mayflower has since grown to become one of the largest fleet owner for ground transportation with a nationwide fleet size of over 2800 vehicles comprising of sedan cars, MPVs, tour vans and air-conditioned coaches.

1963

Tan Chong & Sons Motor Sdn. Bhd. established Acme Hire and Drive Cars, which was the first car rental business to operate in Malaysia.

GoCar Mobility Sdn Bhd


Malaysia’s Mayflower buys majority of on-demand car rental startup GoCar

WARISAN (5016)



Malaysia’s leading travel service provider Mayflower Acme Tours has bought a majority stake in on-demand car rental startup GoCar.

The company acquired 55 percent of GoCar for about US$109,000, its publicly listed parent firm, Warisan TC Holdings, told Bursa Malaysia.

Mayflower is a travel service specialist that has been operating in Malaysia since 1969. It offers a wide range of services – from car rental to hotel reservations and tours.

The company has a staff of more than 500, over 3,000 vehicles, and a network of 19 offices and branches, including four airport counters, throughout Malaysia.


“[The deal] is expected to strengthen Mayflower’s position in the retail car rental market and will provide Mayflower with immediate access to a self-service, automated, and web-based platform for car rental,” says Warisan, which is part of the Tan Chong group, the sole distributor of Nissan cars in Malaysia. Tan Chong is controlled by the family of Tan Heng Chew, one of Malaysia’s richest.

The deal means GoCar will now become a subsidiary of Mayflower, but it will keep its name and brand.

GoCar’s founder and executive director TJ Tan will also continue to set the company’s overall direction and run the day-to-day operations.

GoCar allows its members to rent cars by the hour or day – self-service style.


Founded in March 2015, GoCar allows its members to rent cars by the hour or day – self-service style.

After booking a car on GoCar, members go straight to the vehicle and unlock its doors using the app, then use a pin code to unlock a box inside the glovebox where the key is stored.


The whole process upends traditional car rental, which involves negotiating with sales staff and paying in cash at the counter.

The company has so far registered over 5,000 hours – equivalent to 208 days – of bookings for cars located in Cyberjaya, Mont Kiara, Mid Valley, and Bangsar.


It doesn’t own the cars, but only taps idle fleets of car rental companies. Moving forward, TJ says GoCar will use Mayflower’s fleet exclusively.

“By joining the Tan Chong family, we will significantly scale our fleet, allowing us to expand to other regions in Malaysia seamlessly, as well as leverage existing Mayflower’s airport and retail counters,” he says.

Support independent journalism.
So in essence, GoCar’s supply is now sorted, while Mayflower will be able to operate leaner using GoCar’s technology – its outlets can cater to 24/7 rentals and users can self check out instead of relying on staff.

Apart from selling a stake to Mayflower, GoCar obtained a US$121,000 grant from the Malaysian government’s Cradle Fund. GoCar will use the grant’s proceeds to expand into new markets, scale the team, and boost its marketing reach.

Rental Car Giant Hertz Files For Bankruptcy Protection
MAY 23, 2020

Car rental company Hertz filed for bankruptcy protection Friday, citing an "abrupt decline in revenue" during the coronavirus pandemic.

Hertz is just the latest high-profile company to feel the financial pain of the COVID-19 crisis:

Retailers J.C. Penney, J. Crew, and Neiman Marcus

all filed for bankruptcy protection this month. Home-decor chain Pier 1 Imports announced it would be closing for good, with final closing sales beginning Memorial Day weekend.

After many states began to declare stay at home orders in March, car rentals dried up, and Hertz reduced spending, implemented furloughs and ******* laid off 20,000 employees. ********

Will Malls Survive The Coronavirus Pandemic?

In April the company, which includes car-rental brands Dollar, Thrifty and Firefly, missed a payment on its debt, but reached a short-term deal with its creditors. The company was unable to secure a long-term agreement.

The filing excludes Hertz's international operating regions in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, as well as its more than 10,000 franchised locations.


The company said it would use more than $1 billion in cash on hand to support its ongoing operations as it proceeds with the bankruptcy process. The company will continue to honor reservations, promotional offers, vouchers and rewards points programs.

"Today's action will protect the value of our business, allow us to continue our operations and serve our customers, and provide the time to put in place a new, stronger financial foundation to move successfully through this pandemic and to better position us for the future," said CEO Paul Stone in a statement.


"Our loyal customers have made us one of the world's most iconic brands, and we look forward to serving them now and on their future journeys."

In addition to its financial woes, Hertz has been under management upheaval. Stone was named CEO on May 18 — days before the bankruptcy filing — after Kathryn Marinello stepped down.

He previously served as executive vice president and chief retail operations officer for North America.
