In case you haven’t heard, Go Car Subs have just restructured their entire car subscription pricing model. Now instead of giving each car an individual subscription price, they’ve streamlined all their available models into 5 categories:
CHEAP, BASE, PLUS, EXPAT and LUXE
Each of these categories have fixed monthly prices, depending on the length of your subscription and the size of your monthly mileage limit. However, what’s really cool is that for the same price you can decide which make and model suits you best.
On top of the new and improved pricing structure, Go Car Subs have also introduced a new ‘SWAP’ feature. One of the biggest appeals of the car subscription model over traditional hire purchase is that you’re not ‘locked in’ to just one vehicle for an extended period of time. ‘SWAP’ takes this aspect to another level.
Say you decided on a Honda City in the ‘BASE’ category right after marriage. After a few months, you realise that your needs have changed. Now, your parents have moved in, you have a child on the way and a domestic helper will need to be hired. With swap, you’re allowed to request for a Toyota Avanza, which has 7 seats and is still in the ‘BASE’ category, so your monthly commitment hasn’t changed. You’re not even renewing your existing contract for another 3 years, you’re just swapping a 5-seater sedan for a 7-seater compact MPV. There’s just a small swap fee, and you’re as good as gold, provided there’s an Avanza available in the pool of cars. You could always go up or down a category too.
For a limited time only, you could try Go Car Subs with the promo code NEW2SUBS and SWAP gets even better with NO SWAP FEE for your first year of subscription. What’s more, you’ll also get a free mileage cap UPGRADE from the standard 1,650km a month to 2,500km a month by default! This same promo code will also give you your first month of subscription absolutely free of charge and 50% off your 2nd and 3rd month.
Honestly if you’re already in the market for a car and you’re worried about financial uncertainties, car subscriptions are the way to go. There are no surprise repair bills, you’re not forced to return to the dealership or a mechanic to do maintenance work, there’s no depreciation to worry about and your monthly commitment is fixed, all you have to factor in is your toll and petrol costs. Remember, use NEW2SUBS before making payment!
