news


Uber reported in September that it would close down Xchange Leasing, its Delaware-based auxiliary which accomplices with car dealerships to offer vehicle leases to U.S. Uber drivers. 

The renting business as of now brandishes a netbook estimation of $400 million made up of more than 30,000 vehicles, as per WSJ, however, has endured overwhelming misfortunes — Uber was allegedly losing $9,000 per auto in August. A large number of these autos claimed by Xchange Leasing have been sold in the course of the most recent couple of months. 

WSJ investigated Tuesday that Fair.com had consented to purchase the business, as indicated by "individuals acquainted with the issue." Founded by previous TrueCar CEO Scott Painter, and auto industry veterans Georg Bauer (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla) and Fedor Artiles (Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Tesla) the adaptable auto possession stage gives you a chance to rent a vehicle for whatever length of time that you like. The autos will dependably be under six years of age and 70,000 miles when you get them. 

As of Oct. 2017, Fair.com had figured out how to score up to $1 billion underwater and value financing from BMW's iVentures, Penske Automotive Group, and Mercedes Benz, among different speculators.
