Carvolution: There is everything except gasoline
Cars on subscription Carvolution has been active since March 2018. The young Bernese company has made a brilliant rise as a start up and opened the race for the leading position on the topic of car subscriptions. At the moment, initiator Léa Miggiano and her operations crew are still leading by a long way. The first ten Polos purchased by the company itself have grown into several hundred vehicles [...].
At the moment, initiator Léa Miggiano and her operations crew are still leading by a long way. The first ten Polos they bought themselves have grown into a fleet of several hundred vehicles that can be rented on a flat-rate basis. Minimum duration: six months; a trial subscription is available for as little as three months.
In the event of a failure, there is an immediate replacement
Carvolution offers the all-round carefree package. You pay a fixed amount for a car of your choice and have neither worries nor costs beyond that. Except for the gasoline, of course.
Carvolution takes care of every repair, every service, every tire change, on request also at the customer's doorstep. If a car breaks down because of a service or other reasons, there is a replacement, immediately and free of charge.
Brands and models for every need
On offer are everything from the Citroën C1 Feel (constantly sold out) for 399 francs per month to the Seat Ibiza (549 francs), the Opel Insignia (bestseller for 859 francs) and even the Porsche Cayman GTS (2899 francs).
The original target group was private customers. Above all, the new young generation, who no longer necessarily own their own car, but still want to be individually mobile.
The longer the more business customers come, however. For smart accountants, a fleet that you don't have to lease will be super interesting from 2020 at the latest, when you have to account for leases, but not (yet) for fixed costs like those for a car flat rate.
Delivery take over seniors
In the meantime, vans have also been launched, and the range is growing. The company is located in Bannwil, BE, near a highway exit. Seniors take over the delivery of the cars, which Léa Miggiano books via a rent-a-senior agency; the Carvolution offers can also be found via the online retailer Galaxus.
