Anyone who is dependent on a car, like Nicole Kaufmann, has the option to use, purchase or lease it on a subscription basis. Nicole looked at the various options: “We did the math and found that renting versus buying was too expensive. Subscription fits our needs perfectly.” The tip for using your own car with a subscription came from a good friend who also owns a subscription car.

The ability to drive for a fixed monthly fee has only been available in Switzerland for about five years. Founding of Bern carvolution It launched its vehicle subscription in 2018. The reason for this was co-founder Léa Miggiano’s need for a new car. However, buying or renting options were too troublesome and expensive for him. “I’m convinced that owning your own car can be cheaper, easier and more flexible,” says Miggiano. Carvolution now also offers a best price guarantee, so customers can rest assured they’ll never pay too much with a car subscription.

Flexible and affordable

Flexibility and price are also decisive advantages for Nicole Kaufmann: «The relationship between price and performance is excellent. Now I don’t have to worry about anything except filling the tank. “There are no additional costs because everything is included in the fixed monthly fee,” says the working mother.

He was previously driving a rental car. In addition to monthly installments, insurance, tax, service, tire and tire replacement costs should also be taken into account. When comparing total costs, subscription often performs better, as tests by Comparis and Saldo show. Additionally, leasing agreements are generally valid for 3 to 4 years. On request, Carvolution can also provide individual, non-binding cost comparisons. All you have to do is start an online inquiry.

A look at total costs

Do a quick internet search to take a look at total costs. For example, online rental provider gowago.ch provides a good overview. In just a few clicks, the appeal of a car subscription compared to classic rental becomes clear. Thanks to the cost breakdown on the website, it becomes clear: If you take into account other cost points in addition to the rental fee, the car subscription becomes very attractive in terms of price and is also more flexible.

The Ford Fiesta ST-Line example shows the picture below. The rental fee is 473 francs per month without down payment. If you book additional services for insurance, maintenance, tires and taxes, the monthly payment accumulates up to 742 francs. But with the Carvolution vehicle subscription, the costs are only CHF 489 per month when these services are already taken into account in the monthly subscription price.

good advice

“I know a lot about cars because I have worked in the automotive industry for many years,” says Nicole Kaufmann. So he obtained extensive information about car subscription in advance, read customer feedback, compared prices and offers, and then decided on Carvolution. Because it is not complicated, it is flexible and, as he emphasizes, it has a wide choice of tools. Nicole chose Seat Ibiza. «I have been a Seat subscriber for two years. During this time I can see how the subscription is going and whether it is an option for me again.”

What convinced them was also the ordering process. On the one hand, the Carvolution website offers a good overview of the offer and vehicle subscription in general, on the other hand, those interested can find answers to the most important questions or make an appointment for advice. “I came across a very well-organised, open team. After getting in touch, I configured my subscription myself and ordered the Seat Ibiza.”

Due to difficulties in delivery due to corona, he was able to collect his car from Carvolution in Bannwil BE four months later. He knew in advance that it would take longer; He says the Carvolution team gave him very good and transparent advice. In addition, customers can have their subscription vehicles delivered to the address of their choice for an additional fee of 180 francs.

Easily set your mileage package

What Nicole Kaufmann particularly appreciates about the subscription is the app. This means that he always has all the data and can adapt the agreed mileage package to his own needs. The woman from Schwyz has already done this: “I reduced the mileage package because I traveled less than I expected. It’s pretty simple”.

He also believes that subscription has advantages in other ways: “For example, when changing tyres. Just make an appointment, get there, get it installed, and you’re done. “All at no additional cost,” says Kaufmann. That’s why he recommends a car subscription to “anyone who wants easy driving.”
