About Evogo

Evogo is one of the largest and most well-established car subscription companies in the UK. With a large fleet of vehicles, the ability to drive your vehicle abroad for 2 weeks and contracts available for young drivers, Evogo have mass appeal to a wide demographic of customers.

For customers looking to move to car subscriptions more permanently, Evogo also offer part exchange on old vehicles – one of the only car subscription companies to do so. All subscriptions with Evogo work on rolling 89-day contracts.

How it works

To register with EVOGO, you must download, complete, and return a short application form or speak with one of the sales team. They take around 48 hours to assess your application and make recommendations based on your perceived budget.

The first car you take from EVOGO must be collected at one of their two offices, with delivery available for future vehicles. The cost of the subscription includes maintenance, breakdown cover and road tax but customers must arrange their own insurance to be active upon pick-up.
The rolling 89-day contract needs to be resigned each time; it is possible to keep the same vehicle, but Evogo typically take it back and exchange it after two – four hire periods for renewal purposes.

Costs and fees

In terms of costs their entry-level cars are unbeatable on price, with £275 including VAT for their cheapest vehicle.

• The non-refundable initial payment is equal to 1.5 months’ subscription charge but is only applicable on your first vehicle
• Speeding ticket administration fee applies
• Legal letters and parking fines all carry administrative charges

What’s special about Evogo?

While most of EVOGO’ s offering is standard within the car subscription market (maintenance, breakdown cover), the most eye-catching offer they run is the ability to part-exchange existing vehicles, providing an entry point into car subscriptions for customers who might not necessarily have been able to afford it.

Additionally, as there is no minimum age, the company has positioned themselves as open to all, with their cheapest vehicle being as low-cost as anything you will find elsewhere. Their range of vehicles is also comparatively large.
