The Best Rental Car Alternative

A car rental is attractive if you only need a vehicle for a short period of days or weeks. When renting a car, there is certainly a risk that you will not be given the model you requested and that you will be confronted with additional costs at the end of the term.

A car subscription on the other hand offers you the flexibility of the vehicle of your choice and for the duration you need. And the best part: there aren’t any deposits or hidden fees.

The cost varies depending on the company and on the duration of the rental. Car rental companies tend to focus on a cheap daily rate, but can be more expensive when you add in all the extra expenses such as insurance, roadside services, or adding an additional driver.

When you consider all of the factors that go into renting a vehicle, your monthly subscription price with FINN covers it all - one monthly payment and one partner for all of your vehicle needs.

Car rentals and car subscriptions differ on a few parameters:

1. Duration: Rentals tend to be shorter in length ranging from a few days to a few weeks. Subscriptions on the other hand offer longer terms. At FINN, you can subscribe to a car for 6 or 12 months.

2. Flexibility: Some rental companies don't give you the flexibility to choose the precise model or configuration you want. At FINN, you have full control over the choice of a model.

3. Payment Structure: Car rental fees are usually charged on a daily or weekly basis, whilst you pay monthly for your subscription at FINN.

4. Insurance and Maintenance: Car rental companies may offer insurance options, but it's common for renters to have their own insurance coverage. At FINN, we provide you with insurance that is included in your monthly payment.

Overall, whilst rentals are a good choice for a short period of time, you have many more benefits by subscribing to a car with FINN if you're looking to drive a car for longer than a few weeks.

In addition to your vehicle itself as well as any accompanying physical or digital components needed to operate your vehicle, we make sure to also include copies of important documents, such as your vehicle's insurance, so that you can immediately get driving safely and without worry.

Insurance for a Rental Car: Everything You Need To Know

Comprehensive insurance is important for your safety and peace of mind. Some rental providers do not include insurance in the offering, unlike FINN. Here are some elements you should consider when choosing your provider:

1. Liability Insurance: covers injuries or damages you might cause to others.
2. Comprehensive Insurance: protects from non-collision incidents like theft or natural disasters.
3. Collision Insurance: covers damages from collisions.
4. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or Medical Payments Coverage: covers medical expenses for you and your passengers.
