The car subscription is on the rise and is a convincing and inexpensive alternative to buying and leasing. Carvolution was one of the first providers to launch the car subscription in Switzerland in 2018. Since then, the competition has quickly emerged and prospective customers are wondering what sets the providers apart. In this blog article, we take a look at the similarities and differences between SimpCar and Carvolution.

The All-in-One package

With both car subscription providers, various operating costs are included in the fixed monthly price. More specifically, SimpCar and Carvolution include a fully comprehensive insurance, cantonal redemption, taxes, service and tires on top of the car rate.

In contrast to SimpCar, Carvolution also includes the Carvolution fuel card from AVIA at no extra charge, with which you can save 5 Rappen per liter of fuel or offset your CO2 emissions free of charge. For electric car drivers, the evpass charging card is also included, free of charge for the first year on the evpass Explorer plan. You can find a summary of the exact conditions here.

Vehicle selection & availability

Even if the selection of available models varies, Carvolution has a large selection to offer with around 50 models, from small cars and compact cars to SUVs and station wagons. Customers can choose between automatic or manual transmission, petrol, diesel, electric or hybrid as well as all-wheel, front or rear-wheel drive. Many vehicles are also available from stock and can be delivered within 14–21 days.

SimpCar offers around 25 vehicles in 4 vehicle categories (compact car, station wagon, sedan, SUV).

With or without a down payment - the choice is yours!

If you want to benefit from a lower monthly car subscription price, a model with a down payment is exactly the right choice for you! That's why Carvolution is always offering various new models with a down payment. SimpCar does not currently offer the option of choosing a vehicle with a down payment.

The Carvolution app

At Carvolution you also benefit from an app. This means you always have your subscription at hand. If you notice that you are driving too much or too little, you can adjust your kilometre package directly in the app. And if there is an accident or damage to your car, you can report it directly in the app. You also have an overview of your kilometres driven and invoices within the app.

This is how Carvolution differentiates itself:

  • With a selection of around 50 models, with and without a down payment, from various categories and with different drive systems, there is something for everyone.

  • With Carvolution, a fuel card from AVIA or a charging card from evpass is included in the All-in-One package

  • The Carvolution community is growing every day, with more than 700 Google reviews.

  • In the Carvolution app, your subscription is quickly at hand, and you can adjust the kilometre package yourself each month directly in the app.

  • Our employees are always available by email, phone, live chat or on site for questions or advice.

Conclusion - Which car subscription is right for you?
