They have a roadside assistance service, for taking care, in case of car breaks down or runs into any problem. Now about the App.

After you enter the city of starting and times, click the search button, and you get a list of vehicles available. At the bottom of the screen, there are two options, sort, and filter.

On pressing the sort button, you will be asked to sort by Low to high or high to low price range and also extra km charges.

The Filter button helps you with the segment(Hatchback, SUV, MUV, Sedan) brand(Maruti Hyundai, Mahindra, Toyota, Ford), fuel type(petrol/diesel), transmission, and seating capacity (5/7).

After setting filter parameters, you can click apply and choose from the options.

ID proof like PAN, Aadhar, etc. will be needed, and you will also need to provide driving license details.

Things to remember while using the App

Remember, if someone other than the person whose license is used to book the car drives the car, that’s not allowed according to their terms and conditions.

Read the terms and conditions carefully

The website gives some other valid points about liabilities and what to do in case of any problem with the car including roadside assistance.

I faced no glitch while using the app and plan to use it for my next all-day city tour.

Hyundai Car subscription offer

Revv also has a car subscription offer, which covers even new cars. If you plan to use a vehicle for a long duration, that may be a better option for you. They include maintenance and insurance, and you can cancel anytime. The cars are by Hyundai. You can choose every day or weekdays. If you like self-driving and you change cities frequently, this could be a good option. The links to the car subscription offer come as an ad at the bottom of the app home page.

Cons:

I visited their website and realized the liability issues. The company policy about the person whose driving license is used to book, needing to drive the car was something I didn’t find on the app. If it’s there, it’s not clearly visible and if not they need to put it in a place where people will find it quickly.

The app missed having any customer reviews and feedback, and that’s a problem always for apps like these.

This is an app review, and the service will be reviewed once I have an opportunity to use it fully.

Final Takeaway

Excellent app for the service range and flexibility it offers.

Best part, pick up and drop off anywhere.

Great pricing and the app offers transparency in the billing , which is always a plus.
