Frequently Asked Questions
How does the CARIFY car subscription work?
CARIFY is a new, flexible mobility concept which gives you the opportunity to choose from a large variety of cars for a monthly all-inclusive price. You can choose your subscription length, without long-term commitment.
You are free to drive a convertible in summer and an SUV in winter. There's a baby on the way? Get a bigger car for the whole family and use a small car for your everyday life.
You can easily book your car online at a fixed monthly package price, which includes all costs except refuelling. If you would like to change your car, you can easily change or return it at the end of the selected minimum term. The perfect solution for your long-term car rental.

What are the advantages of a CARIFY car subscription over leasing?
CARIFY car subscriptions are the flexible all-inclusive alternative to leasing or purchasing and offer the following benefits:
More Flexible Terms: A car subscription allows you to use vehicles for a flexible period without committing long-term. With CARIFY, we offer subscription terms ranging from 1 month to up to 48 months. In contrast, leasing contracts are often associated with longer terms spanning multiple years.
All-Inclusive Package: Compared to leasing, your CARIFY car subscription covers all costs related to your desired car in a single monthly fee, including repairs, maintenance, tires, the first highway toll sticker, motor vehicle tax, and registration in your canton of residence. Comprehensive insurance is also included in the subscription price. You only need to cover the cost of fuel.
No Mandatory Down Payment: Unlike leasing, our car subscriptions do not require a mandatory down payment.
Monthly Termination Options: Your CARIFY car subscription can be terminated monthly. In leasing contracts, the notice period is usually several months. This allows you to more easily switch between different vehicle models based on your changing needs.
Overall, car subscriptions offer a flexible and convenient way to use a vehicle without committing long-term or worrying about additional services.
