Carvolution has a strong opportunity to expand its business in a variety of ways. This includes implementing electric vehicles to align with sustainability trends and expanding its subscription model into corporate packages for employees.
The Bannwil-based company enables subscribers to select their vehicle online and gain access to a fleet of top-quality cars for a monthly fixed price. This fee covers all costs except refueling and cleaning.
Flexibility
With carvolution, customers can easily select their dream car online and have it delivered to their doorstep. All they need to do is refuel, charge or clean the vehicle from time to time. The rest of the costs are covered by a monthly all-inclusive fixed price.
This makes carvolution a much more affordable option than buying or leasing a vehicle. The company also offers a best price guarantee to ensure that customers are getting the best possible deal.
Moreover, the company is working to reduce its environmental footprint by reducing demand for new cars. This is achieved through the company’s partnerships with myclimate, a project that offsets all direct and indirect emissions from Carvolution’s vehicles with 100% certified carbon credits.
Convenience
Unlike traditional car ownership or leasing, with a car subscription you can enjoy maximum flexibility for a moderate monthly fee. This means that you can change your vehicle every six months or even more often if you want, depending on how many cars are available in the fleet.
Subscribers can access the fleet through a user-friendly mobile app that streamlines the entire process, making it simple and convenient to rent a car. This convenience is a major selling point for the service, which can save time and money for customers.
Compared to other providers, like Gowago, which offers a similar car subscription model in Switzerland, Carvolution’s all-inclusive package is more affordable. For example, Gowago charges a high initial down payment of around 10% of the car value which is added to your monthly lease rate. Carvolution, on the other hand, does not charge any down payments and takes care of all cantonal registration fees. This makes Carvolution a more cost-efficient option for foreigners in Switzerland.
Safety
Carvolution’s success has been achieved thanks to a seamless integration of technology into its business model. An intuitive mobile application serves as a hub for the entire process, allowing subscribers to easily browse available cars and schedule delivery or pickup. Furthermore, the app may include features such as trip planning or real-time vehicle tracking to optimize the user experience.
With a monthly all-inclusive fixed price, you have full transparency over your total costs. There are no financial surprises due to residual value, resale or service costs. Thanks to the purchasing power of the young Swiss startup based in Bannwil, and an efficient digital organization, Carvolution is able to offer you first-class cars at significantly lower prices than when buying or leasing.
In addition, you receive full warranty coverage and free CO2 compensation through myclimate as part of the Carvolution package. This allows you to offset the direct and indirect emissions that are generated when driving a car.
Sustainability
Carvolution is an excellent alternative to buying or leasing cars because the monthly fixed price includes insurance, cantonal redemption, taxes, services and maintenance, tyres and the initial highway vignette (if applicable). Furthermore, you can easily adjust your mileage package and switch vehicles at any time.
In addition, the Swiss start-up offers a wide range of environmentally friendly vehicles. Thus, you can contribute to reducing traffic congestion and carbon emissions in Switzerland.
Especially younger generations prioritize sustainability, shared mobility and smart technologies. For them, carvolution perfectly aligns with their values and aspirations. It could even be used as a business model for corporate customers, allowing them to offer their employees access to a cost-effective and flexible mobility solution that is in line with current mobility trends. For example, it can be combined with employee perks such as a free public transport ticket or a subscription to a greener vehicle. Moreover, companies that offer carvolution to their employees can also benefit from reduced company costs and tax benefits.
