We will reveal the details below.

Flexibility without commitment

When you rent cars with a tow hitch from MHC Mobility, a high degree of flexibility is included in the price. Unlike leasing, our car subscription doesn’t involve rigid contract terms that tie you to a vehicle long-term, even if you no longer need it. With our flexible terms, you can tailor your plan precisely to your mobility needs. If you’d like to use the car with a trailer hitch longer than originally agreed upon in the contract, this is easily possible. In a sort of tacit contract extension, you can cancel the rental agreement on a daily basis, with billing calculated down to the day, of course. In addition, you can adjust your mileage allowance as needed. If you’d like a car subscription with unlimited mileage, MHC Mobility also offers suitable solutions.

Maintenance and service included

Our car subscription with trailer coupling includes an all-round carefree package that guarantees real peace of mind when managing your fleet. We remind you when maintenance is due, such as regular inspections, change your tires and take care of all wear and tear repairs on your vehicle.

Cost control without surprises

With the car subscription from MHC Mobility there are no hidden costs. Not only do we show you point by point which services are included in the monthly rental rate. We also inform you exactly which Expenses for special requests per month. Whether extra costs are incurred for the trailer coupling on your rental vehicle depends on the subscription model you choose. MHC Mobility distinguishes between two models:

• FlexiRent model with flexible terms of 1 to 60 months and preconfigured vehicles.
• SelectRent model from a rental period of 24 months and the option of having the vehicle of your choice configured according to your individual requirements.

If the desired vehicle does not have a trailer coupling, we can retrofit one to both the FlexiRent and SelectRent subscriptions, provided this is feasible for the car. With SelectRent you can have your selected vehicle fitted directly with a trailer coupling. The costs for this are already included in the rental rate. With FlexiRent is different. With this model, the individual costs for the trailer coupling are passed on to you on a monthly basis plus the rental flat rate.

The retrofitting is only carried out on request and only for vehicles that have been running for less than 1 year and less than 30,000 kilometers. The Minimum rental period is then 6 months. Taking these criteria into account, retrofitting a trailer coupling is not only possible at the start of the contract, but also during the term of the contract.

Environmental aspects and contribution to sustainability

Regardless of whether you want to drive construction machinery from A to B, need a trade fair trailer or regularly transport vehicles: The possible uses of rental cars with a trailer coupling are many and varied. It is generally more sustainable to rent a vehicle only when needed. If parts of a company’s vehicle fleet remain unused, this costs parking space, which is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive, especially in cities. Flexibly adapting your own vehicle fleet to current requirements and the number of employees therefore pays off directly. The use of low-emission and energy-efficient electric vehicles also contributes to sustainability and promotes your reputation as an environmentally conscious company.
