And if your plans change, you can simply adjust the monthly rate by switching to a different vehicle class or pause the subscription.

What is the difference between business car leasing and car subscription?
With business car leasing, you usually use a vehicle for 24, 36 or 48 months. The most common model is mileage leasing, where you agree a certain mileage per year. The outlay at the beginning of the lease is quite high, the financial package consists of the monthly installment, the transfer or provision costs and, if applicable, a disposition or turn-in fee. If you lease a car for your business, you also have to take care of vehicle tax, fully comprehensive cover and maintenance. A leasing contract cannot be terminated during the agreed term. With the SIXT+ car subscription, the vehicles from the SIXT fleet are available immediately without a long waiting period, at a fixed monthly price and with flexible terms of up to twelve months, and can be terminated at any time - these are the advantages of the SIXT+ car subscription over car leasing. In addition, costs can be optimally planned with a car subscription, as all expenses are already included in the monthly rate. Find out more about using a car subscription as a short-term lease.
What are the requirements for a car subscription as opposed to business car leasing?
Unlike a business car leasing contract, a car subscription is as easy as booking a rental car. Simply select the vehicle you want online or in the SIXT app, specify the start date and term and then collect the car from your SIXT station. Business car leasing, on the other hand, involves a lot of red tape. This includes many forms, signatures and documents that you have to provide, for example the self-disclosure or proof of your business activity if you want to lease a car as a corporate customer. In addition, you cannot freely choose the start date for a car lease, but are dependent on the delivery date of the vehicle.
Is Is a car subscription more expensive than a car lease?
This is not necessarily the case. Although the monthly car leasing installments are often cheaper in themselves, there are many other costs that are not included in leasing. These include taxes, registration, general inspection, maintenance and winter tires. Leasing also often involves a down payment, commitment costs and a disposition or turn-in fee. And not to forget: When you return the vehicle, you may incur unforeseen costs due to damage to the vehicle. In contrast, the car subscription offers a high degree of predictability for all costs, thanks to the transparent fixed price, which already includes these costs. This means that you know exactly what costs you will incur, you don't have to worry about any unexpected surprises and you remain completely carefree with a business car subscription.
A SIXT+ car subscription is ideal for anyone who needs a vehicle for one or more months or has considered business car leasing or purchasing a company car. Many of our customers use their SIXT+ car subscription, for example, as a commuter vehicle, to bridge the gap until the delivery of a new or leased vehicle, as a company car, or simply because they enjoy testing different vehicles for various life situations.
A business that meets specific income and credit criteria can lease a vehicle. Leasing a car for business use can provide tax benefits and help shield the owner from personal liability associated with the vehicle. In a business car lease, the company makes monthly payments usually for 2 to 5 years. At the end of the lease, the business can either purchase the vehicle at its residual value or return it. Unlike personal leases, the business is responsible for the lease payments, which may be deductible as business expenses (unless a personal guarantee is signed). In contrast to leasing, a car subscription provides greater flexibility, allowing for shorter contract periods, easy changes between car models, and the option to pause or cancel your subscription with ease.
