About Subscribacar

Subscribacar is an app-based car subscription that aims to cover every aspect of a customer’s needs within a single cost, which can include fuel and tolls if the customer so desires. The standard inclusions are finance, transfer, registration, repairs, servicing, insurance, and tyres. Customers can add a secondary driver and business use is also available on request, including for rideshare work like Uber or Lyft. Subscribacar also do not put any limits on use or mileage, meaning that the service is hands off and flexible.

How it works

As this is an app-based subscription service, customers can sign up and order through the app, as well as doing customer verification and arranging cancellation and return.

The basic restrictions are:

• Over 21
• A full, permanent driving license issued in Australia – although customers do not have to be Australian citizens
• No insurance refusal, license revoking, or claims in the last 5 years

Subscribacar don’t conduct credit checks.

There is no cancellation fee or mileage restrictions, but customers do have to sign up to a 3-month minimum term.

Costs and fees

Subscribacar have aimed to make their fees quick and easy.

• Customers have to sign up for a 3-month minimum term and the one-off joining fee is equal to the subscription cost, so it depends on vehicle choice.
• Customers can lump fuel into the fee they pay with the Subscribacar fuel package, which provides a 4 cents per litre discount at local fuel stations.
• For insurance claims following accidents or issues, there is a $500 excess.
• There are no cancellation fees at the end of the 3-month period and once that has lapsed, customers can cancel at any time.
• Other fees depend on state charges and duties but Subscribacar offer to help you pick a vehicle depending on your budget.

The Holden Barina is $145 per week at the cheaper end, and prices go up from there depending on the vehicle and plan.

What’s Special about Subscribacar?

Subscribacar operate an app-based service that is similar to many of its competitors, but with a few extras. Primarily, the option to add fuel on as a lump cost is particularly helpful for businesses and the way that the vehicle options are laid out is accessible for people who want a quick and easy choice. The lack of credit check is a highlight, although it is becoming more common in the subscription market, and the level of flexibility is attractive, although that only comes in after the initial 3-month subscription.

FAQs

What is a car subscription?
A car subscription allows you to access a vehicle without financing, leasing or spending a large amount of money up front. Subscriptions are designed to be more like having a mobile phone or an account with Netflix. You pay monthly until you no longer want or need the vehicle, then you return it and don’t pay anything else.

What do I do if I need to repair any damage?
Subsribacar arranges for all damage repair to take place. So instead of taking the car to a garage, give them a ring and they will take care of everything for you.

How do I return the vehicle?
Contact Subscribacar when you’re finished with the vehicle and they will collect it from you. Make sure you’ve taken all your belongings out of the vehicle prior to collection, and that the car is as clean as it was when you received it.

Will I lose the vehicle if I miss a payment?
No. You will be charged a late fee and Subscribacar may cancel your subscription if you miss further payments, but in a one-off instance, you will be able to keep the vehicle.

How many kilometres can I drive per month?
Subscribacar operates slightly differently to other vehicle subscription companies. There are no mileage limits and no excess charges. You can drive as much as you like.
