This offering is aimed at giving both buyers and sellers a safer option to trade used cars, in response to changes in customer behaviour caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n\r\nCarro\u2019s proposition is to offer certified pre-owned cars through a completely contactless purchase process. Buyers can browse and shop certified pre-owned cars on Carro\u2019s website and all interactions are powered by Carro\u2019s platform and pricing algorithms.\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n\r\n\u201cWe\u2019re launching Singapore\u2019s first, certified used car contactless purchasing experience to cater to these changing needs - prioritising safety and leveraging our technology to offer a seamless experience. Combining this with our financing, maintenance, and Singapore\u2019s first pay-as-you-drive usage-based insurance, we are well placed to address new customer habits in the post-covid-19 period,\u201d said Aaron Tan, CEO and Founder of Carro.\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n\r\nCarro is undertaking all necessary steps to ensure customer satisfaction and safety. All cars sold by the company are certified by its proprietary 150-point inspection check. A detailed inspection report can be accessed via the company\u2019s portal at carro.sg so that customers can be assured of the quality of the vehicle before purchasing.\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n\r\nTo address any buyers\u2019 remorse due to the lack of test drives, Carro offers a three-day return policy \u2013 allowing hassle-free returns if they are not satisfied with the purchase. For additional peace of mind, Carro provides a 30-day wear and tear guarantee, the first of its kind in Singapore. This gives customers access to the company\u2019s after-sales workshop facilities, which cover maintenance wear and tear that are not even covered under standard factory warranties.\r\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\r\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n\r\nCarro will assist buyers in obtaining financing at competitive rates through Genie Financial Services \u2013 its wholly-owned subsidiary. Customers will save on their insurance premiums through Usage Based Insurance that was launched in 2019.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carro digitises the entire process \u2013 including auto loans, insurance and vehicle transfer \u2013 so customers can purchase pre-owned cars in the safety of their homes Carro offers added assurance with industry\u2019s first three-day return policy and 30-day wear and tear guarantee All cars are sanitised and home delivered to allay safe distancing concerns borne &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14594,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[727],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-announcements"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14591","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14591"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14591\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14595,"href":"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14591\/revisions\/14595"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14591"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
