Large selection, uncomplicated processing, flexible terms, a fixed price and everything is included. tuningblog introduces you to the car subscription model and the new, large car subscription comparison platform myAutoAbo.

The Auto Abo model

The car subscription is a new form of leasing - many refer to it as a kind of Netflix for driving a car. One monthly rate - all costs included, except for refueling. In contrast to leasing, in which, in addition to the monthly leasing rate, there are additional costs such as transfer costs, registration costs, often a down payment, taxes, insurance, maintenance, TÜV & HU as well as tire and tire service. These costs are usually all included in the monthly subscription rate. In some cases, the subscription rates appear to be more expensive than the leasing rates; this is due to the fact that the above-mentioned additional costs are included in the subscription rates. As a car subscription user, you can enjoy significantly less administrative effort than with classic leasing. In addition, the terms of the car subscription are much shorter and more flexible than with leasing.

The car subscription is usually concluded for one to 18 months, whereas leasing usually only starts after a term of 24 months. With most car subscription providers, the ordering process is completely digital and ideally only takes 10 minutes - via desktop or mobile phone. The car is often delivered free of charge to the desired location and picked up again - with some car subscription providers this can cost an extra charge of up to € 200. The cars are often available very quickly within a few days or weeks.

We summarize: the car subscription model is therefore a lot more convenient and flexible than the leasing model. So what's the catch? Often you pay a small surcharge in the monthly subscription rate for the all-inclusive service. However, this is no longer always the case. There are some calculation examples where the subscription rate is cheaper than the leasing rate including all additional costs.

The car subscription market

The car subscription market is still quite young and started around 3 years ago. While there were only around 2019 car subscriptions in Germany in 30.000, by 2021 there were already almost 90.000 car subscriptions. If one trusts the forecasts of management consultancies and automotive experts, the market continues to grow rapidly, so that by 2025 over 800.000 car subscriptions will be permitted on Germany's roads. From the consumer's point of view, the car subscription model makes perfect sense - not only startups like FINN, like2drive or Faaren have recognized this, but also rental car providers like Sixt and Hertz, large leasing companies like ALD or manufacturers like Seat with CONQAR or Volvo with Care by Volvo . There are now over 40 car subscription providers in Germany, which is why it is becoming increasingly difficult for the end customer to keep a good overview and to compare the car subscription offers well and easily.
