According to Leaseplan.com’s “Car Cost Index 2021”, the total cost of a car in Switzerland is about 1,100 francs per month. That’s 53 percent more than in Greece, where it’s cheapest to drive in Europe. According to the Federal Statistical Office, mobility is the second largest item in the household budget in Switzerland after housing.
Rising prices for products, energy and health insurance are currently putting an additional strain on the household budget. So saving is the order of the day. Fixed costs like taxes, rent or mortgages are hard to reduce. On the other hand, other expenses, for example, for the car.
The cost of owning a car is often underestimated when it comes to mobility. Because, in addition to fuel or monthly installments for rental, tax, insurance, maintenance, service and tire payments are made throughout the year. Budgets need to be allocated for these. Issues already included in the fixed monthly price of the Carvolution car subscription.
If you want to know about the benefits of the subscription, you can order a non-binding offer from Carvolution at any time. For example, thanks to the autumn campaign, the Fiat 500 can now be purchased for as little as 399 francs per month. The popular Ford Fiesta is available from CHF 429 per month and the Ford Puma from CHF 499 per month. The SUV’s best-selling VW Tiguan is available at 699 francs per month.
Carvolution is able to offer attractive prices thanks to careful model selection, large supply volumes and lean, digitized processes.
Everything is included in the car subscription
Anyone who buys their car must account for depreciation and depreciation, otherwise buying a new car later is not an option. The total operating costs are therefore the mentioned 1100 francs per month. Savings can be made by changing the fuse, driving less, or switching to another vehicle – which can be time consuming and expensive.
All this is bypassed with a car subscription. With Carvolution, all expenses are already included in the monthly flat rate, there are no financial surprises in the form of unforeseen invoices. Only gasoline or charging current has an additional effect.
Drive less, save more
Since there are strong fluctuations in fuel prices and electricity prices increase, savings can also be achieved in kilometers. “This is happening effectively, some customers are reducing their monthly mileage packages,” says Léa Miggiano. The Carvolution co-founder explains that this not only reduces fuel costs: “Customers benefit twice, because they also reduce the fixed costs of their subscriptions because the monthly fee is lower.” With Carvolution it’s easy: the mileage package can be adjusted monthly via the app.
Another important advantage of a vehicle subscription is that the costs incurred for the vehicle are known and therefore can be planned. With flexible terms ranging from 3 to 48 months, customers can tailor the vehicle to their specific needs and save money as a result.
On the other hand, if you have a lease, you are bound by the agreed duration and specified mileage package, and at best you can reduce fuel or electricity costs. This also applies to those who own a car: savings are limited.
New car prices are on the rise
If you currently have to or want to buy a new car, you should calculate it well. On the one hand, inflation pushes prices up, on the other hand, the geopolitical situation still causes supply bottlenecks and the fact that raw materials become more expensive is reflected in sales prices. In addition, the interest policy of the central banks provides an increase in rental or loan interest rates in the financing of vehicles. So the time to buy a new car was cheaper.
The Carvolution car subscription offers an attractive alternative here: You can find the right car at a fixed monthly price and with clearly calculable costs between 3 and 48 months. This cost clarity ensures budgetary security in uncertain times.
Costs under control thanks to fixed price
The price increase will also affect services such as vehicle maintenance or tire replacement. Car insurance premiums are also likely to increase, as insurance companies must also pay more in case of damage.
With that in mind, Carvolution’s all-inclusive package takes the strain off the household budget. Because the vehicle subscription includes taxes, insurance, service, maintenance, tyres, tire changes and storage. “In that respect, the car subscription is closer to the polluter pays principle,” Miggiano says. “If you drive less, you’ll also pay less in fixed costs.”
Meanwhile, a price comparison in the Comparis test showed that “car subscription is often cheaper than renting”. The comparison service highlighted a high degree of flexibility with subscription as an added benefit. The priority for car expert Ferdinand Dudenhöffer is that the subscription is simple, transparent and inexpensive.
If you want to know how much your dream car costs with a subscription, you can compare costs or order a non-binding offer on the Carvolution website.
