AKRON, Ohio, June 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Company (NASDAQ: GT), through its innovative fleet
servicing platform, AndGo by Goodyear, is providing on-demand and
on-location professional vehicle services for Turo, the leading
peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace.
The AndGo by Goodyear offer for Turo hosts is currently
available in Southern California,
with more markets coming soon.
"AndGo by Goodyear provides on-site inspections, vehicle
servicing and professional cleaning for connected vehicle
platforms," said Fred Thomas, vice
president and general manager of Goodyear Retail. "We are
happy to extend our services to Turo hosts to support them in
driving their businesses forward."
Additionally, through June 2020,
AndGo will offer cleaning and sanitization services to Turo hosts
in the service area free by using code TUROCLEAN (subjected to
limited schedule availability).
Turo is changing the economics of car ownership across the U.S.,
Canada, and the UK. According to
Turo, its hosts can earn money to offset the costs of their
vehicles, and guests can choose from a unique selection of nearby
cars at more affordable pricing compared to traditional car rental
agencies.
"As markets begin to ease up on shelter-in-place restrictions,
we see that many people are excited to book their next road trip.
As more people begin to hit the road, Turo is committed to keeping
our community safe," said Andre
Haddad, CEO of Turo. "We are thrilled to partner with
Goodyear to offer Turo hosts cleaning services at a special price
so they can continue to maintain a high standard of cleanliness for
their guests."
As the leading peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace, Turo says
it is intent on supporting its community during unprecedented
times. The company has implemented a cleaning and disinfection
policy, shared a cleaning and disinfection guidebook, provided
online-training, and is encouraging contactless check-in to meet
the new evolving standards.
AndGo by Goodyear was introduced earlier this year and is a
seamless vehicle servicing platform that will combine predictive
software and a trusted, national service network to enable consumer
fleets to be ready to go when they are needed. Beyond just tire and
cleaning services, AndGo delivers full vehicle readiness, helping
consumer fleets boost their performance. Through monitoring of
service needs and quick and easy scheduling, AndGo activates
Goodyear's vast service network for convenient scheduling to reduce
downtime.
Turo hosts can schedule services now through AndGo by Goodyear
