Market Dynamics

Asia-Pacific Car Subscription Market Drivers:

Flexibility and Convenience of Car Subscription

A car subscription is a short-term contract to own a vehicle that does not charge the customer for maintenance or insurance. Moreover, according to the service provider-consumer contract, a car subscription allows for several car exchanges. In recent years, vehicle subscription has gained popularity as a hybrid alternative to car rental services and car leasing options, with several advantages over these two services.

Cost-efficiency of Leasing Model Over Subscription Schemes

Among the benefits of a car subscription are switching between many vehicles and shorter-term service agreements. Long-term, a subscription is more expensive than leasing or purchasing a car.

These monthly servicing fees and other costs are negligible when leasing or owning a vehicle. In the coming years, the high price of the subscription model will likely hinder the demand for car subscriptions.
