Gett Courier is a new competitor to UberRUSH

Taxi services in recent years have undergone many changes, many of which are associated with the expansion of the list of available services. Modern applications for taxi services have become a kind of service aggregators - from the delivery of sushi and burgers to the house, ending with full-fledged services for the delivery of any goods.

Now a new player has appeared on the market - Gett Courier, which is a simple additional option in the popular Gett service. If you believe the representatives of the company, so far only London is present from the available locations, but with successful practice, the list of supported cities is planned to be expanded. The cost of one delivery is £ 6 for the city center, while for other trips it is calculated depending on the distance from the final point of delivery. For optimal delivery speed, Gett is going to hire drivers on scooters, which is why certain restrictions on the weight of the package have been introduced - with Gett Courier you can send small items weighing no more than 5 kg.

Gett competitiveness should be compared with UberRUSH and other analogues. So, in San Francisco, one trip within a radius of 1 mile will cost $ 6 with a surcharge of $ 3 for each additional mile when leaving a given zone. The advantages of UberRUSH also include the ability to integrate your own API for owners of large companies. This allows you to organize the delivery of small-sized goods in a short time, which may be beneficial to some companies.

Depending on the market, Gett offers different solutions for the delivery of goods or services. For example, in Moscow, service users can arrange for sushi delivery or replacement of the iPhone display. And UberEATS prefers to focus on more standard things - in Paris, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington and other cities, the service allows you to arrange the delivery of food from nearby restaurants.



By overall focus, you can see that Uber focuses more on the delivery of food or the provision of corporate services along with options for small businesses. But Gett is going to systematically deal with the delivery of goods at first. And in this segment, the company will have to compete with Amazon, which has repeatedly shown interest in the rapid delivery of any goods to consumers and launched similar services in different countries. One of the advantages of Amazon is the use of drones for delivery, but the difficulty of registering this type of service delivery gives Gett a definite advantage, especially given the possibility of using the service as a courier service for private customers. The only question is whether this is enough to generate a suitable level of profit remains open.
