What’s the difference between a car subscription and traditional leasing?

The main difference between a car subscription and leasing is in the flexibility and the services included. With leasing, your monthly payment allows you to use the car but, on top of that, you are also responsible for costs such as insurance, taxes, servicing and tyres. A car subscription, on the other hand, is a no-worries, all-inclusive package: all related costs are included in the monthly payment and you can adjust the time frame to suit you. In Switzerland, where leasing contracts tend to be long-term and can be associated with hidden costs, a car subscription offers a stress-free alternative that guarantees full cost transparency.

How does leasing work?

In Switzerland, leasing is a common choice for people who want to drive without actually buying a car. At first glance, the monthly leasing payments may seem to offer good value – but they often fail to include ancillary costs such as fully comprehensive insurance, servicing and tyre changes.

Advantages of leasing:
- You get to keep driving new cars.

- The car’s devaluation is not your responsibility.

Disadvantages of leasing:
- High additional costs: according to TCS, the monthly costs can effectively double or even triple.

- Long-term commitment: contracts often run for years and it can be difficult to make changes.

- No ownership: the car remains the property of the leasing company, even after the contract has ended

Why a car subscription is a better alternative.

Any questions?

How much does leasing really cost?

Monthly leasing payments may look good on paper, but when you factor in your other costs, your outgoings can end up being twice or even three times that figure. Extras such as fully comprehensive insurance, servicing, tyre changes and repairs soon add up.

What’s better value: a car subscription or leasing?

Whether you’re better off with a car subscription or leasing depends on your needs. With leasing, you’ll often be saddled with the expense of insurance, servicing, taxes and tyres on top of your monthly payment. A car subscription like Clyde’s, on the other hand, offers full transparency when it comes to costs: all ancillary costs are factored into your monthly payment – including insurance, servicing and even electricity for your car if you like. All of which often makes a flexible car subscription the better-value alternative in Switzerland.

Can you lease a car without a down payment in Switzerland?

While you are frequently required to make a down payment when leasing, Clyde’s car subscription comes with no upfront charges and includes all ancillary costs. Giving you full control of your outgoings, with no hidden fees.

When is a car subscription a better choice than leasing?

A car subscription is perfect for anyone who’s interested in maximum flexibility and cost transparency. If you’re looking for a car with no upfront charges, don’t want to be tied into long-term contracts and are keen to combine costs such as insurance, servicing and tyres in one monthly payment, a subscription is the better choice. It offers similar advantages to leasing but without the liabilities and additional costs.
