BMW long-term rental: Driving pleasure and efficiency for your fleet
Which BMW suits which role in the company?
Not every company car in a long-term rental has the same task. BMW covers a broad spectrum with its model range: from the compact entry-level model to the spacious Touring for frequent drivers. The following overview shows which BMW model suits which application scenario.
| Model | Typical use | Power | Tax (private) |
| BMW 1 Series | Pool car, office work, career starter | Compact, economical, agile | 1.00 % of the BLP |
| BMW 3 Series Touring | Field service, sales, consulting | Long-distance comfort, large trunk | 1.00 % of the BLP |
| BMW 5 Series Touring | Management, Senior Management | Representative, maximum comfort | 1.00 % of the BLP |
| BMW iX1 | E-mobility entry, sustainable fleet | Electric SUV, premium, future-proof | 0.25 % of the BLP |
All BMW models at MHC Mobility are available for long-term rental with all-round service. The monthly rate covers insurance, maintenance, tire changes, UVV inspections, replacement vehicle service and all other service-related costs. In addition, you only pay for fuel or electricity.
BMW 1 Series: The compact entry-level model for long-term rental
The BMW 1 Series is the agile entry-level model into the BMW world and is suitable as a pool car, for young professionals or for office staff. Despite its compact dimensions, it offers the typical BMW driving experience with precise steering and a dynamic chassis. With the 118d, MHC Mobility offers an economical diesel version with automatic transmission and 150 hp.
For fleet managers looking for an economical vehicle with premium standards, the 1 Series offers an attractive ratio of equipment, consumption and monthly installment.
BMW 3 Series Touring long-term rental: The company car for frequent drivers
The 3 Series Touring is one of the most popular company cars in Germany and for good reason. It combines long-distance comfort with a generous trunk that offers sufficient space for business trips, presentation material or technical equipment. The 320d Touring with automatic transmission and 190 hp is available from MHC Mobility. The 3 Series Touring pays off particularly well in the field: comfortable enough for days with several customer appointments, prestigious enough for a professional appearance and, with its efficient diesel engine, economical even over long annual mileages.
Long-term rental BMW 5 Series Touring: Representation for the management
The 5 Series Touring is the first choice for managing directors and senior management who expect a prestigious company car with maximum comfort. With 190 hp and automatic transmission, the 520d Touring offers superior performance with moderate fuel consumption. The space, sound insulation and high-quality materials make it a rolling office for long business trips. For companies that use company cars as an employee retention tool, the 5 Series Touring is a strong argument: it signals appreciation and underlines the company’s positioning as an attractive employer.
Rent a BMW iX1: The entry into premium electric mobility
The iX1 is BMW’s compact electric SUV and combines the brand DNA with all-electric drive. For companies looking to enter the world of premium e-mobility, the iX1 offers a compelling starting point.
- All-electric SUV with typical BMW driving experience
- Compact dimensions for city and cross-country journeys
- Attractive for tax purposes: 0.25 % non-cash benefit for private use (BLP up to € 70,000)
- Vehicle tax exemption for purely electric vehicles until the end of 2030
Long-term rental makes it possible to try out electric mobility in the premium segment without committing to one model or technology generation. At the end of the term, you can switch to a newer model and always benefit from the latest technology.
Long-term BMW rental in the fleet mix: how companies use the brand
In practice, many companies do not use BMWs for their entire fleet, but for specific roles. Long-term rental via MHC Mobility makes this easy, because you can freely combine BMW models with vehicles from other brands without having to change service providers.
A typical scenario: the managing director drives a BMW 5 Series Touring, the sales department a 3 Series Touring, and more economical brands are used for pool vehicles and commercial vehicles. MHC Mobility manages the entire fleet via a standardized contract model with a personal contact person. The result is a car policy that combines premium standards for managers with cost-effectiveness for the rest of the fleet.
Good to know: With SelectRent, you can configure BMW company cars individually with the manufacturer, including equipment, color and special requests. For short-term requirements, FlexiRent provides immediately available BMW stock vehicles.
BMW long-term rental vs. BMW leasing: what’s different for companies
BMW leasing is an established model that many companies are familiar with. Long-term rental via MHC Mobility offers a number of differences compared to classic BMW leasing that are relevant in everyday fleet operations.
When leasing, maintenance, insurance and tire changes are usually added as separate costs. With long-term rental from MHC Mobility, these services are included in the monthly rate. This simplifies cost planning and eliminates unforeseen expenses. With leasing, the term is fixed for at least 24 months, and early returns are costly. With MHC Mobility, the vehicle can continue to be driven at the same conditions after the end of the contract and can be terminated on a daily basis. And while with BMW leasing you are tied to the brand, with MHC Mobility you can switch to another brand at any time if your needs change.
Where BMW leasing has advantages: If you know from the outset that you will be driving a specific BMW model for exactly 36 or 48 months and don’t need integrated services, a lease directly from the manufacturer may be the more transparent choice. For those who value flexibility, service integration and brand independence, long-term leasing is the more suitable solution.
How much does a BMW long-term rental with MHC Mobility cost?
The monthly rate depends on the selected model, the term and the annual mileage. BMW models at MHC Mobility start from around €650 net per month. As all service-related costs are included in the rate, the monthly rate corresponds to the actual total costs per vehicle.
There is no basic fee and no final payment. MHC Mobility prepares individual fleet calculations for companies with several BMW vehicles.
