- Pay the first month’s subscription up front and a deposit if applicable. The monthly fee includes everything except fuel and the minimum initial subscription is 6 months.
- When your subscription ends, you can take out a new one and receive a different vehicle, or extend your current subscription.
- Cancelation is only available at the end of the minimum term.
You should return your vehicle to The car can be returned to Glovis in Philadelphia at the end of the term, but Finn also offers a pick-up service for a one-off fee of $199.

What’s special about Finn?
Finn’s service is easy to use and offers delivery to customers, as well as a wide price range.
