Mobility architecture products and concepts
1. terminology: What do leasing, long-term rental and car subscription mean?
1.1 Leasing
Leasing is a standard market term for long-term vehicle use with a contractually fixed term and mileage. Depending on the provider and contract, services may be included or regulated separately. Leasing is often used for predictable, rigid, long-term fleets.
1.2 Long-term rental
Long-term rental is a standard market term for the long-term rental of a vehicle over months or years with a monthly rental rate. Depending on the service description, services are integrated or added as modules.
1.3 Car subscription
Auto-Abo is the product logic with which long-term rental is communicated as a simple package. The core element is a fixed monthly rate and a clearly defined scope of services. Fuel or electricity are typically separate.
1.4 Classification at MHC Mobility
At MHC Mobility, long-term rental is the generic term for long-term vehicle use with a monthly rental rate and defined services. Car subscription is the product logic with which MHC Mobility makes this long-term rental understandable as a package.
FlexiRent and SelectRent are MHC Mobility’s two car subscription product models based on long-term rental.
The following applies to the decision in the company: SelectRent is long-term and configurable and is often classified as close to leasing in comparison. FlexiRent is available at short notice and immediately and is classified as a flexible car subscription for rapid availability.
1.5 Classification label close to leasing
