ReadyAssist Partners With DriveU To Offer Special Roadside Assistance Plan For Weekends

ReadyAssist, the roadside assistance (RSA) startup, has announced entering a partnership with DriveU, an app-based private driver service provider. Under the new partnership, customers using the DriveU will now be able to buy ReadyAssist's Roadside Assistance packages directly from the former's mobile application. In fact, ReadyAssist has designed a unique first-of-its-kind Weekend RSA Subscription Plan that will provide 24/7 Roadside Assistance support across India for three days named as Weekend Plan. DriveU customers can avail this Weekend Package at just Rs. 49.

DriveU is an all-in-one car owner's App that allows you to hire a professional private driver for a required period of time, both for in-city commute and outstation drives. ReadyAssist says that the plan has been designed for customers living in metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune etc. who majorly go out for weekend getaways to nearby tourist destinations. DriveU customers can avail 24/7 on-spot breakdown support services like puncture repair, accidental towing and minor repairs for four-wheelers anywhere in the country. The company says that currently there are no such schemes that offer full-fledged support for such users. This also means customers won't need to purchase long-term RSA plans.
