Car Subscription

A car subscription is a monthly fee that bundles the use of a car with insurance, maintenance and often tax, with a short notice period.

What is Car Subscription?

Terms are usually shorter and more flexible than a lease. A mileage allowance applies, and extra kilometres cost more. Some services let you swap to a different model during the contract. Subscriptions suit drivers who want a car for months rather than years without a long commitment.

How it works

The provider owns the car and handles most running costs, while you pay one all-inclusive monthly price.

Why it matters for your car

Monthly prices are often higher than a comparable lease. Check what the deposit, excess and damage rules are when the car goes back.
