Car Long-Term Rental – a car for a few months or longer

If you only want to drive your car for a few weeks, for example for an extended holiday, or just to try out a car, then a classic car rental makes sense. This is also a good solution if you need a car immediately, as it can take a few days for a car subscription to be registered and handed over to you. If you need the car for several months, a car subscription is the cheaper and more flexible solution.

With a long-term rental, i.e. a classic car rental, you need to know that you will have to pay for additional costs, such as broader insurance cover, additional kilometres and additional drivers. In addition, it is not accepted in your canton of residence, so it is not possible to obtain a blue parking card. Contract conditions can be very strict, so check carefully.

Costs: For a long-term rental, you should pay close attention to any additional costs.
Contract duration: What is the minimum length of time you can keep the car for, and what charges will apply if you want to keep it for longer?
Condition of the car: With a car subscription, the car is new or as good as new. In the case of a long-term rental, the car may be considerably older.
Insurance: Check which insurances are included in the rental price. Additional insurance may be required in order to be fully covered. With the Carvolution car subscription, you are in the best hands with Mobiliar; you choose the deductible yourself.
Registration: With a long-term rental, the car often comes with AI (Appenzell Innerrhoden) plates. This can make it difficult if you drive across the border or want to apply for a residents' parking permit. With a car subscription, your name is on the vehicle licence and the car is redeemed in your canton of residence.
Customer service: If the worst comes to the worst, you want to be well advised in the event of an accident or other incident. If you opt for a car subscription, you can reach us by phone, online or via the app.

Which solution is best for you depends on a number of factors. Renting or taking out a subscription often makes sense if you only need the car for a few months or a few years. It also involves fewer risks and costs than buying.

The best solution for you depends on a number of factors. A rental or subscription usually offers more flexible contracts and lower costs than leasing. However, vehicles are pre-configured and cannot be customised. Depending on your personal needs, a rental or subscription may be more suitable.
