8 Situations Where Subscribing To A Car Is Better Than Buying It

8 Situations Where Subscribing to a Car is Better Than Buying It 

Our customers have always told us that it’s a matter of great pride to drive around in their very own car, especially in India. Those four wheels are a mark of great prestige and honour – all the better to prove you’ve truly arrived in life. That’s the reason we offer two important benefits to everyone who subscribes to a car on Quiklyz – you get a white number plate, and an RC in your name.  

But is that really worth missing out on the many benefits of leasing vs buying a car? There are a lot of people who would say it isn’t – especially in light of how COVID has changed our relationship with our cars. We now know it’s better to have the freedom to choose how long you want to keep your car rather than be committed to it! 

Here are 8 situations in which it is better to subscribe to rather than buy a new car: 

1. When life can be uncertain: 

Sometimes, you’re not sure about what life is going to look like in 2 or 3 years. You might move cities, perhaps even countries. You might have a bigger family, or maybe a dog. Buying a car today might hamper your flexibility tomorrow—you will have to sell it in a hurry, or upgrade to a bigger vehicle. With a car subscription on Quiklyz, you have the freedom to return the car at the end of your subscription tenure, buy it out, or even upgrade to a better model. 

2. When you can’t get over the new car smell:  

Some drivers just absolutely love the smell and feel of a new car. It’s when their beautiful beast is in her prime. 😍 They prefer changing their cars every 2 or 3 years. New cars usually feature the latest performance, comfort, and safety technologies, are more efficient, and feel fantastic. For people who want to enjoy a car in its best driving years, subscribing to a car is the vehicle ownership route of choice. 

3. When you don’t want to save for years just to spend it all on your down payment 🙄 

When you buy a new car with the help of a loan, as most car buyers do, you need to make a hefty down payment, which can really burn a hole in your finances. In the case of a car subscription, you only need to pay a nominal security deposit at the onset, followed by a single monthly fee for the duration of your subscription tenure. 

4. When you have better things to do than monitor your car’s servicing schedule 

Let’s face it: owning a car is a lot of work. You need to maintain it and service it regularly to make sure it’s in good and safe running condition. This involves keeping track of its service schedule, taking it to the service centre, checking various bits and pieces periodically, so on and so forth. For many owners, this whole dance is rather cumbersome. With the premium car rental offering that Quiklyz provides, the cost of servicing is built into your monthly fee and you are unburdened of the responsibility of maintaining your car. The car subscription service – which is what we are, at Quiklyz 😁 - will handle all the upkeep, while you get to enjoy a hassle-free ownership experience. 

5. When you don’t want to feel like you’re driving around in a taxi 

When you subscribe to a car on Quiklyz, the new car is registered in your name and comes with a white number plate. This way, you enjoy all the benefits of a subscribed-to vehicle without any of the stigma associated with non-white number-plated vehicles. No unnecessary stops at a traffic signal and strange looks from strangers! 

6. When you don’t like haggling: 

One of the biggest hassles with buying a car is selling it. Most people use cars for a few years and then sell them, usually because they want to upgrade to a bigger and/or better and/or safer car. Selling a car is not a very straightforward task—you need to determine a fair value for the car, find a buyer, bargain, handle a load of paperwork 😫. With a car subscription, the goodbye is fairly easy. At the end of your tenure - return the car, buy it at a predetermined price, or upgrade to a bigger and/or better and/or safer model. We’ll be sad to see you go, but we won’t make it hard. 

7. When you hate paperwork: 

Buying or selling a car usually involves a fair amount of paperwork, a lot of which can get frustrating. Subscribing to a car on Quiklyz is so much simpler: The entirely digital process can be completed on the app or website with the only paperwork requirements being easily accessible documents like a PAN or AADHAR card, income proof, and a valid driver’s license. Additionally, you don't have to worry about setting reminders or making manual payments as the monthly fee can be made through e-NACH (Electronic National Automated Clearing House) methods. This means the monthly fee can directly be deducted from your account for better convenience and less stress. 

8. When you want to have your own car, but simply don’t want to pay as much 👀 

At the end of the day, subscribing to a car is simply more economical than buying one the traditional way. You get all the savings of driving in low-cost cars, without sacrificing on that new car smell 💙 and here’s a quick demonstration to prove it! 

Subscribing to a car is the new, quick and smart way to own a car, without having to deal with any of the hassles of traditional car ownership. At Quiklyz, you get to choose from a wide array of brand-new vehicles from all major manufacturers and enjoy the car to the fullest, while we take care of the rest.
