The advantages of a commercial car subscription: How good is a commercial car subscription?
A car subscription has a whole range of advantages for company cars compared to other models. Above all, you save a lot of bureaucratic effort. Find out why you should rent company cars instead of leasing them and why you should opt for an automotive flat rate for your fleet.
Flexibility without commitment
Long-term rental or short-term bridging – with a car subscription as a company car you remain flexible. Terms of between 1 and 60 months secure your mobility requirements with pinpoint accuracy, without you having to commit yourself for a long time. The monthly mileage can be adapted precisely to your requirements. The choice of vehicle and its equipment is also entirely up to you.
Maintenance and service included
If you take out a car subscription for the company, you don’t have to worry about the service. MHC Mobility does that for you. If an inspection or tire change is due, you will receive a notification. This simplifies your fleet management. You don’t even have to take care of any necessary repairs to the vehicle yourself.
Cost control without surprises
All-inclusive– you can take that literally with the car subscription for business customers. The transparent cost structures of a car subscription with MHC Mobility simplify administration. The following costs are included in the monthly rate:
- Authorization
- Vehicle tax
- Motor vehicle liability insurance
- Fully and partially comprehensive car insurance
- Maintenance
- Service
- Wear and tear repairs
- Emergency service
- Replacement car service
- Pick-up and delivery service
- Tire change
- Agreed monthly mileage (free kilometers)
- Broadcasting fee
Unlike with leasing, you don’t have to worry about residual value and depreciation. All of this is already covered by the monthly installment. At the end of the term or after canceling the car subscription, the company only has to arrange for the car to be returned to the provider.
Environmental aspects and contribution to sustainability
It is sustainable to only rent company cars when there is a need for them. Unused vehicles require parking space, which is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive in cities. So there are good reasons to flexibly adapt the vehicle fleet to the number of employees and the current need for delivery vehicles.
With an electric vehicle fleet or an e-car subscription, you present yourself as a sustainable company – an aspect that should not be underestimated. E-cars are comparatively expensive to buy. With a subscription, you can test electric mobility without obligation. E-cars are not only emission-free and save CO2. Charging electric cars also costs less than fossil fuels for the same range. This is all the more true if you generate the electricity via your company’s own photovoltaic system. Subsidies for the installation of wallboxes or other charging points are available at state and municipal level.

Insurance options and services
When leasing, the ongoing operating and maintenance costs of the vehicle are added to the leasing rate.

Funding opportunities and tax benefits
There is currently no longer any e-car subsidy for company cars at federal level. Even without the environmental bonus for company cars, part of the higher acquisition costs can be recouped through the sale of the greenhouse gas reduction quota (GHG quota). Regional funding programs support companies in setting up a charging infrastructure. Manufacturers often grant discounts or favorable conditions for the purchase of e-cars. These advantages you can also enjoy:
- Exemption from vehicle tax until 2030
- 0.25% rule for company cars – employees only have to pay tax on 0.25% of the gross list price (maximum €70,000) of their electric company car or 0.5% of the gross list price of a plug-in hybrid company car for private journeys each month. For combustion engines, it is 1%.

MHC Mobility offers the car subscription exclusively for commercial use. Private individuals are not supplied. The offer is aimed at companies of all sizes, the self-employed, freelancers and small businesses. The conditions depend on the creditworthiness of the company, not the end user. Private use as a company car is possible and follows the usual tax rules (1% rule for combustion vehicles, 0.25% rule for purely electric vehicles with a gross list price of up to €100,000).
With classic company car leasing, the company commits itself for several years, usually makes a special payment and bears the residual value risk. Insurance, maintenance, tires and service are usually billed separately. The car subscription bundles these items into a single monthly installment, with no down payment and no residual value risk. The minimum term in the FlexiRent model starts at just one month. This makes the car subscription the more flexible and often more transparent alternative in terms of overall costs.
For companies that want to gradually electrify their fleet or initially test an electric vehicle in everyday use, the e-car subscription is generally the most economical option. There is no down payment, residual value risk and high administrative costs. Pure electric vehicles also benefit from the vehicle tax exemption until 2030 and the 0.25 percent rule for company car use. Find out more on the topic page E-car subscription for companies.
Yes. With the FlexiRent model, vehicles can be added to or reduced with a short minimum term (from one month), without a long-term contract commitment. This allows companies to dynamically adapt their fleet to the order situation, project phases or seasonal fluctuations. SelectRent, which can be flexibly integrated alongside FlexiRent, is suitable for the long-term fleet standard.
Self-employed persons, freelancers and freelancers receive the same conditions at MHC Mobility as larger companies, with an adapted credit check via identity card, VAT identification number and Schufa form. The monthly installment is recorded as an operating expense. A separate topic page for this target group is the Car subscription for the self-employed.
The car subscription can be used without restriction as a company car for employees, for example for field service, sales, management or fitters. The contract is in the name of the company and the employee uses the vehicle on a day-to-day basis. The usual tax rules apply to private shared use. The short minimum term means that company cars can also be made available for temporary employment relationships or project teams.
The MHC Mobility car subscription is scalable: from a single vehicle for a small business to a structured solution for large companies with several locations. For more extensive fleets, additional fleet services such as fleet analysis and fleet management are available, providing management from a single source.
