You have found your dream car at Carvolution? That's great. The next step is to configure the subscription and make the payment. But how exactly does the payment work? Are there any requirements? And are there any additional costs when returning the car? Learn all about it in the blog.
Requirements
In order to be able to drive a car with a Carvolution car subscription, there are one or two requirements. First, you need a residence in Switzerland and a valid driver's license of Switzerland or Lichtenstein of category B. Do you have a foreign driver's license? No problem, we check it and make sure that it is approved for Swiss roads. Before the contract is signed, we check all your details and your creditworthiness, if you have any debt collection or loss certificates, we unfortunately have to reject your request.
The payment
If there are no problems with your information and your driver's license is approved for Swiss roads, the next step is the payment.
Before the handover of your new car, we will send you an initial invoice. This may include the following items:
Initial fee: CHF 390 (only charged for the first subscription)
Deposit: CHF 1,000 (learn more)
Down payment: optional
Home delivery: optional
Transfer of license plates: optional (learn more)
The monthly subscription invoice is issued on the first working day of each month. You can easily pay it by invoice or credit card.
For customers with a subscription number below 540,000, a different billing cycle applies. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us directly or read more here.
Calculating the kilometers
When you sign up for a subscription, you select your monthly mileage package yourself. In the app, you can see how many kilometers you have already driven. If you notice that you drive more or less than your mileage package, you can adjust it yourself in the app.
The kilometers are only checked when you return the car, this because we understand that in some months you drive a bit more and in others a little less. Especially during vacations, you might need to use your car a great deal and in other monthsyou might notneed your car much. If you drive more than your mileage package covers, the extra mileage will be charged to your final bill.
What are the costs for returning the car?
For the return of your Carvolution car you may arrange a return date and bring the car to Bannwil and together with you, we will check the traces of use and possible damages, which will be compared with the condition of the car at the handover at the beginning of the subscription. Traces of use are considered normal wear and tear and have no influence on the value of the vehicle at the appropriate age and mileage, these signs can usually be repaired by cleaning or normal reconditioning. The situation is different in the case of damage, as this reduces the value of the car and requires more extensive reconditioning or repair. The costs will be settled against the deposit after the return. If these costs exceed the deposit, the additional amount will be invoiced separately. The cost of special cleaning required due to excessive interior contamination will also be settled. Damages falling within your deductible or not covered by comprehensive insurance will be repaired, and the corresponding costs will be settled with you at the end.
In general, we recommend that you clean the car or have it cleaned before returning it.
