At MHC Mobility, car subscriptions and long-term rentals are not mutually exclusive. Long-term rental is the umbrella term for long-term vehicle use with a fixed monthly rental rate and clearly defined services. Car subscription is the product concept through which MHC Mobility presents this long-term rental as a straightforward package. The actual decision, therefore, is not between the two terms, but between the two car subscription models. FlexiRent offers immediately available vehicles from the fleet with a short minimum term starting at one month and a high degree of flexibility—ideal for project teams, seasonal peaks, or bridging delivery times.

SelectRent offers fully customizable new cars with longer lease terms—typically starting at 24 months—and is ideal for predictable standard fleets. Long-term leases are available for various vehicle classes, ranging from passenger cars to electric cars and vans to commercial vehicles as well as 9-seaters and vans. For a complete overview, see the pages on car subscription for businesses and long-term rentals.

A car subscription is a flexible mobility solution for companies where you don’t have to buy or lease a vehicle in the traditional way. You pay a fixed monthly rate and receive your vehicle including maintenance, tire changes, insurance and taxes. The only variable is refueling or charging.

With MHC Mobility, the contract term starts from just one month. This means that you are immediately mobile even if you need a car at short notice and do not have to commit to a vehicle for the long term. With the MHC Mobility car subscription, you can choose the vehicle class and equipment to suit your needs: from small car and vans to electric vehicle through to light commercial vehicles. At the same time, you leave the administration, service and fleet handling to us.

With the MHC Mobility car subscription, almost all ongoing vehicle costs are included in a monthly all-inclusive rate – apart from refueling or charging. In detail, this includes insurance (third-party liability and fully/partially comprehensive insurance), all taxes (vehicle tax, etc.), maintenance and wear and tear repairs, seasonal or on-demand tire changes including storage if necessary, a replacement vehicle in the event of damage or repair, 24-hour emergency service and mobility guarantee as well as the complete handling of registration, return or fleet service.

With the models “SelectRent” and “FlexiRent” models, additional optional extras, decals, interior or tool conversions and custom configurations can be selected.

The MHC Mobility car subscription is primarily aimed at commercial users such as craft businesses, service providers, construction– and logistics companies, self-employed or care services.

The subscription model is particularly suitable in the following scenarios: when mobility requirements vary at short notice or on a project-specific basis; when a company does not want a high capital commitment through vehicle purchase or leasing; when electric or commercial vehicles are required; or when a fleet needs to remain scalable and flexible. Established company fleets also use the model to supplement traditional leasing or purchase contracts and benefit from the transparent cost structure and service relief.

MHC Mobility offers a broad brand and model portfolio: from small cars and mid-range sedans to premium models, electric vehicles and light commercial vehicles. The available manufacturers include Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, BYD, Polestar, Opel, Ford and Hyundai. Commercial vehicles include, for example, panel vans, station wagons, vans, and pickup trucks with special configurations, including electric models.

FlexiRentThis model offers maximum flexibility with a minimum term of one month. It is particularly suitable for short-term needs, changing vehicle requirements or when quick availability is desired. All inclusive services are included and there is no down payment or residual value risk.

SelectRentThis model is designed for configurable vehicles with a minimum term of 24 months. Here, companies can choose equipment, special fittings, stickers or colors. Combined with the all-inclusive flat rate and without residual value risk.

The monthly rate for the car subscription covers all included services and therefore offers cost transparency and planning security. The actual price depends on the vehicle type, brand, term, mileage and optional extras. Individual costs are borne separately, such as fuel or electricity consumption.

With the FlexiRent model, the term begins as early as from one monthAfter reaching the minimum term, the contract can either be extended or terminated on a daily basis.

With the SelectRent model, the minimum term is typically 24 months. After that, the vehicle can continue to be used or returned, i.e. without residual value risk. Use after the minimum term remains flexible so that companies can react to changing mobility requirements, but can also opt for a long-term rental if required. long-term rental is also possible

Yes. MHC Mobility also includes electric vehicles and light commercial vehicles in its car subscription portfolio. Commercial vehicles also come with shorter contract terms and special modifications, such as shelving or tool systems, decals, or customized usage solutions. With electric vehicles, users benefit from lower operating costs and sustainability advantages—all without any restrictions on service or mobility options.

From a commercial point of view, the car subscription can be regarded as an operating expense, as it is a usage service and not a purchase. This eliminates investment costs and residual value risks. A subscription model can also have advantages in terms of accounting, especially for short terms of less than twelve months. The tax deductibility of the car subscription is possible, but it is advisable to have your tax advisor carry out an individual tax assessment, particularly with regard to the vehicle class, degree of use and chosen term.

Your desired vehicle is ordered via MHC Mobility. With the SelectRent model, you can configure your vehicle according to your specifications and we will deliver it ready to drive to your desired location. With the FlexiRent model, you have the option of exchanging the vehicle within the contract term if your mobility needs change.

When you return the vehicle, register it online for collection or bring it to one of our MHC Mobility Centers. We will arrange an appointment to collect or return the vehicle. The vehicle must be in an acceptable condition; excessive damage or a significantly higher mileage than agreed may result in additional costs.

Compared to buying or leasing, the car subscription from MHC Mobility has the following advantages: no high initial investment, no long-term commitment, almost all ancillary costs included, no residual value risk and a monthly rate with full cost transparency. The model is also particularly flexible – both in terms of duration and vehicle changes – which means that mobility costs can be better controlled and adjusted.
