The all-inclusive car subscription is proving time and again to be the most convenient and flexible alternative to classic car purchasing and leasing. For this reason, there are now more and more leasing providers offering various all-inclusive packages. You can find out the most important differences and similarities in this blog.
The business models
Carvolution and Gowago are both companies that were founded in Switzerland and still operate exclusively on the Swiss market.
The biggest difference is that Carvolution focuses on new or very new vehicles in a subscription and offers you an attractive subscription price for all vehicles in its wide-ranging portfolio.
Gowago, on the other hand, is a leasing agency. They offer a platform for new and used cars with an equally large selection of cars. However, they only act as an intermediary between Migros Bank and the lessee and coordinate the all-in-one leasing packages as an additional service.
The most important difference
Like Carvolution with its car subscription, Gowago also offers a comprehensive package with insurance and taxes, tire changes and storage, initial vignette and redemption. However, this offer from the all-in-one leasing provider Gowago is only available for the “Premium” version of leasing.
The “Essentials” and “Light” all-in-one packages do not include some additional costs such as maintenance, tires or taxes, which are always included in a Carvolution subscription.
There are no such different packages with Carvolution. No matter which car, you are always well looked after and don't have to worry about additional costs - apart from fuel costs and buses, of course.
Brands and models of the providers
The range of vehicles offered by the two providers overlaps in some areas. However, it must be said that Gowago offers a larger selection with the help of its partner garages.
At Carvolution, you will only find new or very new vehicles. The focus on the most popular makes and models of Carvolution customers and the resulting volume are what make the low and attractive prices at Carvolution possible in the first place.
Contract, terms, kilometres and more
Usually, when a leasing contract is concluded, a higher amount is due as a down payment, usually around 10% of the vehicle value. However, there is also the option of waiving the down payment, which leads to higher monthly installments.
With Carvolution, you can take out a subscription for any car without a down payment. This avoids high initial costs at the beginning.
The leasing contracts usually have terms of between 24 and 48 months, which offers less flexibility than with Carvolution, where the terms vary between 3 and 48 months.
The monthly kilometre packages of both providers are in similar ranges. At Gowago from around 830 to 3 ,300 km and at Carvolution from 350 to 3,250 km.
Gowago offers various leasing packages. The basic “Light” package only includes fully comprehensive insurance and maintenance. To cover other ancillary costs, the monthly costs increase accordingly by CHF 40.- to CHF 150.- per month, depending on the vehicle model. Over a term of 36 months, this corresponds to additional costs of CHF 1,440.- to CHF 5,400.-.
With the all-inclusive subscription from Carvolution, however, everything is included. Additional costs such as insurance, tires, service, initial vignette and more are already covered in the monthly payments.
Carvolution also allows you to take out additional insurance packages tailored to your personal requirements, e.g. for lower deductibles of CHF 250.- to CHF 1,000.-. You also have the option of taking out various additional insurance policies for your best claims cover.
Additional services
With Carvolution you have a best price guarantee compared to the total cost of leasing. If you find a leasing that is cheaper than the all-inclusive subscription from Carvolution, we will be happy to adjust our subscription price for you.
Carvolution also relies on partnerships with AVIA (fuel card with 5 cents/liter discount) and evpass (charging card with free membership for the first year, 5 cents/kWh discount).
Delivery to your home costs CHF 350.- for leasing from Gowago,
Carvolution charges a flat rate of CHF 195.- for home delivery. You can decide for yourself whether you want to pick up the car in Bannwil or have it delivered to your home.
During the term of your subscription with Carvolution, you can clarify appointments, accidents or similar administrative matters quickly and easily via our app. Gowago does not offer an app.
