Car ownership is a huge undertaking for many people - the purchase, the maintenance costs, the insurance, all things that you have to think about carefully. Fortunately, there is now a sustainable alternative: car subscriptions.
These subscriptions offer you the freedom and convenience of a car, without the hassle and financial burden that comes with buying your own vehicle. With a few clicks, you can have a car for a period that suits you - whether that's six months or a whole year. No BKR registration, no hassle with taxes and insurance. Just get in and drive!
Sustainability is also central to these subscriptions. Many providers work with electric or hybrid cars, allowing you to drive around in an environmentally friendly way. And if you no longer need the car, you simply cancel the subscription. No hassle with trading in or selling.
In this blog post, we will delve deeper into these convenient subscriptions. From the benefits to the practical implementation - everything you need to know to make the switch to a car subscription yourself. Let's discover together how you can enjoy your next ride in a sustainable, carefree way!
Buy, rent, lease and more
The most standard option to get a car is to buy one. However, the prices of cars are such that most people cannot cough up such an amount quickly. Renting is an option if you only need a car occasionally for a short period. For example, you rent a car for a day, if you want to make a specific trip. If you want to use a car daily, then leasing is more obvious. However, with this you enter into a long-term financial obligation, which is equivalent to that of, for example, a loan. However, a car subscription with KINTO can be cancelled monthly. Just as easily as you decide to cancel the newspaper or the sports club, you can now do that with your car as well.
Minimum term
Imagine that you only want to drive in the winter months, because you don't like cycling in the rain. Then you can easily take out a car subscription for, for example, six months. Providers of such constructions often have a minimum term, but that is, for example, three or six months, so you can easily take out a subscription for half a year. Another option is to only drive a car in the summer months for your holiday on the basis of a subscription. For example, do you want to travel with a caravan, but your new electric car doesn't pull that weight well? Then you take out a subscription for a petrol car for a while and the holiday fun can begin.
No BKR registration
Apart from these advantages, the car subscription is an attractive option for many people because it does not involve BKR registration. BKR registers large and long-term financial obligations of all Dutch people. If you have a lease contract, a large part of the total lease amount is also registered there. If you then want to take out a mortgage, this is taken into account when determining the maximum mortgage amount. The costs for a car subscription do not count towards this.
