A car that stands all week — at the office, in the society, in a basement you pay for — still costs its owner. If it is a car the house's guests ask for, it can work instead: licensed, paid for every journey, and the house carries you too.
I
Paid for every journey
Instead of standing, the car works with the house. Each journey is paid at a figure agreed in writing before the car moves, the same day it ends — nothing kept back that the agreement does not name.
II
The house carries you too
For every month your car carries eight or more journeys for the house, you may ask for two journeys the next month, within Mumbai, with a sarathi — written into the agreement, with its limits.
III
Licensed, always
A car carrying a paying guest must be commercially registered, permitted and insured for it. The house arranges that change for a car that is right for it. A car on a white plate never carries a guest of the house.
Three roads, by what you want
Your car is already on a yellow plateIt can join as a partner car straight away, with your driver at the wheel and a sarathi of the house beside him. List your car.
Your car is private, and of the house's classesThe house arranges the change to a licensed tourist car — paid by you, or advanced by the house and recovered from the car's journeys. From private car to partner car.
You would rather keep it privateThen it stays yours alone: a sarathi can drive you in it whenever you would rather not, and the house can look after it while it stands. A sarathi for your own car · For car owners.
Between journeys
The car comes back to the place you name — your bay at the office, your society, your basement — or rests where the house arranges near its work, as you prefer and as the agreement says. Parking and tolls on a journey are the house's, never yours. It comes back clean and photographed, and your family's own use of it is never restricted.
The owner's journeys, plainly
Two, in the month afterFor every month in which your car carried eight or more journeys for the house.
Within MumbaiOne way, up to twenty-five kilometres each by the house's route; a longer journey is a guest's journey, billed in full.
For you and yoursYou, or one of the family named once in writing. Never sold, given to others or exchanged for money; not on the nights of 31 December and Diwali.
Kept for a monthUnused journeys end with their month and with the arrangement; they do not add up.
What the house will never do
Promise earningsNever a monthly figure or a number of journeys, to anyone. The house tells you honestly what it sees, and you decide.
Take a depositThe house never asks an owner for a deposit, never holds an owner's money and never pools money from owners.
Bend the plateA private car never carries a guest of the house — not once, not for a friend of the house, not at a wedding.
Take what is not writtenNo deduction, charge or penalty that the agreement does not name.
If it is of the house's classes and commercially licensed, or willing to be, yes: each journey is paid at a figure agreed in writing before the car moves, the same day it ends. The house never promises how many journeys or a monthly figure.
My car is private. Can it carry guests now?
No. A private car cannot lawfully carry a paying guest, and its insurance may not cover it. The house arranges the change to a licensed tourist car for a car that is right for it — paid by you, or advanced by the house and recovered from the car's journeys.
Does the owner get rides?
Yes, within limits written into the agreement: for every month the car carries eight or more journeys for the house, two journeys the next month, within Mumbai, one way, up to twenty-five kilometres each.
Does Unlyra take a deposit?
Never. The house does not ask an owner for a deposit, hold an owner's money or pool money from owners.
