For decades, owning a car in India has been considered both a milestone and a commitment—often involving hefty upfront costs, long-term EMIs, and the constant worry of depreciation. As urban lifestyles evolve and financial priorities shift, a growing number of consumers are questioning whether traditional car ownership still makes sense. Tapping into this changing mindset, a Delhi NCR–based startup is offering a fresh perspective on mobility—one that prioritizes flexibility, transparency, and financial peace of mind over possession.
As car prices continue to climb and resale values grow increasingly unpredictable, a Delhi NCR–based startup is steering consumers toward a smarter alternative. Enter DriveValue, a premium car leasing company that’s challenging the traditional idea of car ownership—and making it far less stressful.
Founded by Abhishek Rana and led alongside Prerit Sharma and Sneha Dagar, DriveValue is reshaping how families and working professionals experience premium cars. Instead of locking customers into long-term loans, depreciation worries, and resale hassles, the company offers a structured leasing model designed for financial clarity and peace of mind.
A Smarter Way to Drive Premium
In India’s conventional car-buying system, owning a vehicle often means hefty down payments, years of EMIs, and anxiety over what the car will be worth at resale. DriveValue flips this narrative by introducing a leasing-first approach—allowing customers to enjoy a brand-new car without actually owning it.
With DriveValue, customers make a one-time upfront payment, drive the car for five years, and return it at the end of the lease. What makes the model especially compelling is the pre-assured return value, paid back to the customer regardless of market depreciation.
How the DriveValue Leasing Model Works
The process is designed to be simple, transparent, and ownership-like:
● Choose Your Car: Select from DriveValue’s ready inventory or book any preferred variant through an authorized showroom.
● One-Time Payment: A single upfront payment activates the lease—no monthly EMIs.
● Five Years of Freedom: Enjoy unrestricted usage, just like a personally owned vehicle.
● Built-In Benefits: The lease includes five years of zero-depreciation insurance, the first company service at no cost, and full manufacturer warranty coverage.
● Smooth Exit: At the end of five years, return the car and receive the pre-agreed return amount.
Documentation & Service Guidelines
To get started, customers submit KYC details for themselves and one family member, friend, or relative, along with a valid driving license. All routine servicing is carried out at authorized dealerships, while accident repairs are handled through company-approved workshops under the provided insurance. Customers are responsible only for regular maintenance and normal wear and tear.
What Makes DriveValue Different
DriveValue stands apart from traditional car ownership by offering:
● Vehicles sourced directly from authorized showrooms
● Zero hidden charges and a clearly defined leasing structure
● End-to-end customer support throughout the lease period
● Complete freedom from resale negotiations and depreciation risk
● Predictable, stress-free financial planning
According to the founders, the goal is simple: make premium cars more accessible without the emotional and financial burden that typically comes with owning one.
DriveValue envisions a future where hassle-free car usage becomes the norm rather than the exception. The company aims to help customers upgrade vehicles more easily, simplify long-term mobility decisions, and gradually expand beyond the Delhi NCR region—all while maintaining transparency, trust, and customer-first values at its core.
