App-based taxi provider Ola has launched a new service that will make it possible to rent a cab for a few hours, saving users the effort of booking a cab time and again within a single day.

The 'Ola Rentals' which comes in hourly packages has been launched in 35 cities and will soon be rolled out in another 100 cities across India.

"We have built 'Ola Rentals' to address the unique needs of working executives and individuals who'd like to have a vehicle at their disposal, waiting on them, as they move from place to place," Raghuvesh Sarup, a marketing official at Ola, said.

Ola also hopes to target individuals who want to have the convenience of having a cab on disposal for diverse needs like local sightseeing and shopping trips.

The service is not very different from the regular Ola.

"The Ola Rentals offering brings luxury vehicles, sedans and SUVs as well as high rated drivers along with all in-app safety features like SOS button and live tracking of rides, just like the regular Ola," Sarup added.

Meanwhile, another service Ola Corporate has also been launched. Executives can access the service on their regular Ola app, once authenticated by their employer.

On enabling this, the ride gets billed directly to the user's corporate account, without the user having to pay the fare in cash or through their personal Ola Money wallet.
