The flexible alternative to leasing
Drive the car you want, for as long as you want. Choose a subscription length to suit you, and you can even swap vehicles if you want to. Road Tax, Maintenance, Roadside Assistance, Servicing and Repairs are included as standard – insurance too if you fancy.
Our car subscription service, provides an all-inclusive car offering for a fixed, and flexible, monthly fee.
A car subscription is the new kid on the block as far as driving a new car goes. It’s just like many of the subscription offerings you may already be familiar with, whether this is your gym membership, Netflix, or wine subscription where 12 different bottles of wine appear on your doorstep each month. With car subscription, it’s no different – you have access to an all inclusive car for a single monthly fee.
But crucially, at any stage, you can step away from the subscription.
And that’s where a car subscription is very different from a normal car lease. Car subscription gives you flexibility, whereas a car lease is a longer term commitment. With a car subscription you can flex your term – maybe just one month, six months, a year! A car lease is a longer term commitment, over a period of 24 to 48 months, with termination costs if you exit early from the agreement.
Another major difference is that a car subscription is a package – everything is included (that goes for insurance, too, which can be added as an additional option) in one monthly payment. Whereas car leasing is more do-it-yourself – you need to add insurance, maintain the car and get it serviced. Of course, there is a difference in the price: a car subscription is more expensive per month because you are paying for the convenience of the all-in package. With car leasing you bolt on the extras yourself.
With car subscription there are no long term contracts, no hidden fees and everything is included in the monthly price, including insurance. Just add fuel (or charge if EV) and enjoy the drive.
Here are the simple steps to a car subscription.
There’s a range of different cars you can choose from. Choose the car that suits you, along with the period you want the car for (3 months, 6 months and so on) and the mileage you'll cover.
Once you're happy with your subscription package, you'll need to answer some questions to help with the checks and approval decision.
