SOCAR announced on the 30th that it will hold a pre-event throughout May, offering free coupons and credits for Porsche lending fees ahead of the introduction of the Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe.
SOCAR plans to introduce the Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe to its car-sharing service in June, marking the first of its kind in the domestic car-sharing industry. Details such as the service areas and colors of the vehicle will be announced in June.
During this pre-event, SOCAR will provide up to two 4-hour free Porsche lending fee coupons and up to 40,000 credits based on the car-sharing related amounts paid in May. The credits can be used like cash across all services in the SOCAR app, including driving fees and insurance fees. Members who register for pre-notifications on the event page will receive real-time alert messages when the Porsche vehicle arrives.
SOCAR has been expanding its lineup of imported cars by introducing models such as the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class last year. Until May 11, the company is offering all members a coupon that provides a 60% discount on the lending fees for all BMW models, including the BMW X1, new X3, and 520i.
Kim Dong-hoon, head of SOCAR's user growth group, noted, "The introduction of Porsche by SOCAR will be the most convenient and reasonable way to experience a dream car in everyday life," adding, "We will continue to expand our lineup with vehicles that satisfy the expectations and emotions of car enthusiasts."
