What exactly is Carvolution's car subscription? Questions and Answers

Carvolution’s car subscription is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to buying or leasing a car. But is it really the better choice? And is everything truly included in the fixed monthly price? We answer these and other questions in the following blog.

With Carvolution, you drive your own car with an all-inclusive subscription – flexible, simple, and with no hidden costs.

The fixed monthly price already includes everything you need: insurance, taxes, registration, servicing, tires, and other extras. Only fueling or charging is up to you.

First, select your dream car on our website: among around 35 models from various brands, you will find the vehicle that fits you perfectly – whether a small car, SUV, or electric car. Then you configure your car subscription individually. You decide how long you want to use the vehicle – from just 3 months up to 4 years. Afterwards, you select the mileage package that matches your driving habits – between 350 and 3,250 kilometers per month. No worries: if you drive a bit more one month, you can easily adjust the package via the app. In the next step, you choose the canton where the car will be registered and set your down payment amount. Important: this is not a deposit but simply reduces your monthly subscription rate. Finally, you determine the desired deductible for insurance (between CHF 250 and CHF 1,000) and decide whether you want to add optional extras such as parking damage insurance.

Of course, Carvolution offers help at every step if you wish. You can best reach us by phone or arrange a personal appointment. A non-binding consultation via phone, video call, or in person is also possible.

Once you have made your selections and completed the order, we will prepare your car and deliver it to your doorstep if desired.

General Questions About the Offer

Is everything included in the car subscription?

Everything essential regarding the vehicle is already included in the car subscription: insurance, taxes, registration, servicing, tires, and other extras. Only fuel or charging, vehicle cleaning, and the highway vignette (except the first one) are not included.

Depending on your place of residence, the selected duration, and the mileage package, the price may vary slightly. It’s best to select your desired car from our website and configure the subscription directly online according to your preferences.

Why do the costs seem high at first glance?

The fixed monthly price may initially appear high. However, it is important to note that it not only includes the car, as with leasing, but also covers all major costs related to the vehicle: insurance, registration, servicing, tires, and more.

Compared to buying or leasing, where many expenses like servicing, tires, or insurance are spread out and often billed separately throughout the year, the car subscription offers full transparency. You pay a fixed amount – with no unpleasant surprises.

And thanks to Carvolution’s best price guarantee, you can rely on the fact that your car subscription will always be cheaper than leasing. Should this not be the case, we will reduce the price for you accordingly.

How long does it take from payment to car handover?

After your order, we will contact you and discuss all details together over the phone. Once the contract is signed and payment has been received, it generally takes around 14 days – depending on availability – until your car is ready for pickup or delivery.

You can check the current availability of vehicles online by selecting your desired model.

Questions Regarding the Use of the Car

Can I drive the car abroad?

Yes, this is no problem. You can use your Carvolution car just like your own – including for trips abroad. Insurance coverage applies across Europe, as well as in countries bordering the Mediterranean, with the exception of Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan.

Can I lend the car to my friends or family?

Yes, that is allowed. Anyone with a valid Swiss driver’s license may drive your car – whether a family member, friend, or partner.

Why do I have to choose a tire partner?

To ensure a smooth tire change. Your car will be delivered with the appropriate summer or winter tires. When it’s time for a change, the selected tire partner will arrange the appointment and order the suitable tires in time. This ensures that everything is prepared when it’s time for the switch.

How are accidents or damages reported?

You can conveniently report damages via the Carvolution app. There, you can provide all necessary details and upload photos directly. Afterward, either Carvolution or a partner garage will contact you to coordinate the repair.

In case of an accident, you contact Mobi24, the emergency service of our insurance provider. The hotline is available 24/7 and provides quick and reliable assistance – no matter where you are.

When is servicing necessary?

Since all cars from Carvolution are new or almost new, servicing is typically only required after some time. However, if a service indicator appears in the car, don’t worry – the costs are already included in the subscription. Simply schedule an appointment at a garage authorized by the brand, and the service will be carried out without hassle.

Questions Regarding the Return of the Car

Where does the car return take place?

The return of your vehicle takes place at Carvolution's headquarters in Bannwil – together with you. On-site, a lift and professional equipment are available to carefully inspect the vehicle. The return is conducted by independent experts from the Xpert Center. This ensures that the evaluation is done objectively – fairly, transparently, and without complications for both sides.

How does the return process work exactly?

During the return, the car will be carefully inspected. Normal wear and tear is distinguished from extraordinary, value-reducing damages. If such damage is found, it will be charged – as is customary. Thanks to the included comprehensive insurance, however, you will only pay the agreed deductible per damage.

Is there an option to purchase the car after the subscription ends?

Whenever possible, a purchase offer will gladly be made. However, not every car can be purchased at the end of the subscription period. If a purchase is possible, the purchase price will be provided at the end of the subscription, based on the market price and vehicle condition.
