What is eCar Subscription?

A Car Subscription is your simple, hassle-free alternative to buying or leasing a car. Our all-inclusive plans offer a flexible and tailored solution to suit your individual needs. It works in the same way your other subscription models do, such as Netflix or your gym membership. You are billed weekly, monthly or fortnightly until you wish to return the vehicle.

What is included in my subscription package?

No matter what package you choose, every option comes standard with vehicle maintenance, servicing, registration, insurance, roadside assistance and warranty. Plus free trade every 90 days when you subscribe to a Mid or High plan!

How long can a car subscription be for?

We offer long-term car rental with no end date contracts! We’ll see you every 90 days for your complimentary trade.

What if my circumstances change?

Life changes, so let us change with you. Growing your family, embarking on an exciting new career or just don’t want the financial commitment of buying a new car? From smaller runabouts to premium SUVs, we offer a range of vehicles and packages to suit your changing lifestyle – although if your circumstances change, you can just cancel your subscription.

How does a car subscription compare to a car lease?

There are no long term commitments or contracts locking you to the car.

There is no need to worry about car financing or refinancing, depreciation or ongoing fees such as vehicle maintenance, servicing, registration, insurance, roadside assistance and warranty.

A Car subscription is classified as an operating expense, so if you are a business or individual using your vehicle for business or work purposes, you may be eligible to claim your car subscription fee payments come tax time.

Speak to your financial advisor regarding your individual circumstances.

Can I subscribe to eCar Subscription?

To verify as eligible you will need to have a current Australian Drivers Licence, a valid credit card and be over 21 years of age.

Can I still subscribe to a car if I am not pre-approved for a car loan?

Yes! It’s a car, without the commitment. No need for pre-approved car loans, car loan refinance or novated lease. Just one weekly, fortnightly or monthly payment and the rest is taken care of, allowing you to get back on the road, in a more flexible and affordable way.

Are there other ongoing costs for a car subscription?

All you need to pay for is fuel and tolls. Infringements are also the responsibility of the driver.

Can I add additional KMs / mileage?

Of course! We have a range of packaged options to suit your needs, and the ability to tailor them by adding extras as you need them.

From low kilometre plans for the more economical driver designed to get you from A to B, to packages for those travelling further distances looking for peace of mind, and accidental damage coverage.

Can I add an additional driver?

Yes! You have the option to add an additional driver to your package at the time of subscription. Decide to go on a road trip later? Add an additional driver as you need.
