Anyone has any luck with changing their car with Ola? Called them to only find out that their system is currently unable to do so? Which tech company builds a system overlooking this kind of important feature!!!

Do you think it is deliberate for some reason? Or their system capacity issues?

been like that since Feb. should of researched it :rolleyes:
it a lock car issue meaning it locked to ur account and will be locked for quite some time maybe all of this year.

might be an option to change by feb 2019. :D It would be deliberate to prevent cars to be easily leased out.

I know you do... :p
If they crash .. There goes the whole ola job...

You cant do nothing with those cars either aoart from uber.
If it crash to that extent and it a write off i just replace it mate :D;)
It doesn't hurt me one bit it sucks for the driver though since he/she still locked to the car. I just get another driver sign up to the new car. It an added incentive not to write off the car so the drivers seem to take extra good care of the car they do get :eek::oops: they so afraid to get into an accident or break the car that they usually just baby it around.

They know straight up if they fk the car up and it no longer usable and they are out of the Ola platform. Hard for a driver just to do Uber when the competition is providing lots of work and pays a lot better. It not good for the big boy rental car companies offering daily leases or weekly leases that focuses more on short term leasing in which case all their fleet is locked out of Ola. When I focus on 1-2 year contracts though it not much of a worry in having cars "locked out".

Once established they probably start doing what Uber does and have "change" option but they could go the other way and offer "pay to change" which makes things complicated but if that the only option that the only option :D 3rd could be that they are looking at developing their own fleet of lease cars with unlimited change option and lease directly out to drivers at very competitive prices. Maybe in the works of 2020?

In which case I'll exit and sell off at seven figure sum. Not exactly that hard of a worker or stupid to go up against someone that controls the supply line Jobs/Riders. Game Set Match for even the big boys if Ola decides to go that route after they capture a bit more of Uber market shares. Uber has a weak track record of staying and fighting when they get outmatched. Much of Asia it has already pulled out from and a lot of Europe too. I don't think much pressure would be required for Uber to leave Oz market :oops:

In which case only Ola be left standing. Taxify i don't see surviving. But hey they might :D

It's a joke. Soon when all the discounts will be over pax will understand that it's more expensive than uber...
discounts won't end until Uber exit the market place.
I would prefer two rideshare companies in Australia but Australia too small of a country to have two big companies competing for the same pie.

I really do think Uber will sell off to Ola for some shares in 2019.

If Ola doesn't to do something about the change of cars issue soon by 20:20 they won't be in the market in my opinion just because cars get older and Ola started already know to accept cars that are couple of years to the 10 Year Mark

Let's see how deep ola pockets are...
I'm interested to see if Uber going to react at all in the summer time or just let Ola grab more market shares.

I got no answer to when Ola will allow some kind of change of car. I've asked them they said they'll bring it in when they feel like it. They don't feel like it right now :p

The way they only accepting cars that are 2010 kind of leads me to believe they might not have option to change until 2019 or towards the end of 2019. Because 2009 car should be perfectly okay for this year but they are not accepting those cars anymore only 2010 and up.

I did register my 2008 car with them in Feb though. Which clocks out this year for Uber anyways and would clock out for Ola in the New year. Not that I'll be driving anymore. Driving for data points.

Well, what is it to do with Ola for leased or owned cars? Seems like I am missing out on some points!!!:confused:

Further isn't it in their interest as well to get more drivers by allowing them to get registered with newer cars rather than missing out???

I kind of like it since it locks in my leases
Sure you like :D

Question
...
Why or how often are drivers changing cars?
...
Lease driver stopping to go on holidays and returning the car back ect or just swapping the car for another car they like or swapping between lease companies.

For the owner operator with their own car it not a problem since they don't change cars. Unless it someone with a full time job with multiple cars and they want to drive their two cars which it does not allow either.
