About Drive Fuze

Drive Fuze offers a simpler way to enjoy and drive a new car, with no long-term contract and no unexpected costs along the way.

A wide, ever-changing range of range of vehicles is available under an all-inclusive monthly subscription, alongside which Drive Fuze says it’s committed to offering the best customer experience in the market, with every touch point designed around the wants and needs of its users.

Decades of automotive expertise and experience have gone into developing the Drive Fuze proposition, and to make it best-in-class.

Drive Fuze is a member of the BVRLA and is authorised and regulated by the FCA – striving to go above and beyond to look after its customers throughout their experience.

What’s included?

Drive Fuze’s competitive, all-inclusive monthly package includes:

• The car
• Comprehensive insurance
• All servicing and maintenance
• Road tax
• Breakdown cover
• Fair wear and tear on tyres
• 1,000 miles per month (which can easily be extended if needed)
• UK based customer services team, available 24/7
• Plus the option to add another driver for an extra £10 per month.

How to apply

Applying for a Drive Fuze all-inclusive monthly car subscription is simple and can be done in less than 10 minutes, at any time of the day. It’s a completely online process that starts with registering for a Drive Fuze customer account and then selecting the vehicle make and model you want.

You then need to upload an image of your driving licence, proof of address and a selfie taken on your computer or smartphone, so that your identity can be verified and affordability checks carried out (which include a soft credit check – that leaves no footprint on your credit history).

Any additional drivers will need to be with you and ready to undergo the same checks.

Applications are reviewed the next working day, and a member of the Drive Fuze Customer Experience Team will call you to confirm once your application is approved. And then the car is delivered within seven days!

Customising your subscription

Drive Fuze subscriptions include 1,000 miles a month as standard – which is more than many other providers – and you have the option to increase your allowance. If you’re under the mileage limit one month and over it the next, that’s fine; the total mileage will be assessed when the car is returned.

There’s also the option to add an additional driver for £10 per month.
