Using the car to travel is still the preferred option of the Spanish. According to the CIS Barometer, in 2021 78% of Spaniards preferred to use the car to travel during the summer. In this sense, it is not uncommon for it to continue to be the most chosen means of transport, since it provides autonomy to move around and is not subject to departure or arrival times at the destination. For this reason, subscription cars are a great alternative for getting around during this period, as well as the rest of the year, since they have many more advantages than traditional carsin property or a car in renting, they do not have.
Subscribing to a car provides the user with great advantages, and offers the peace of mind that comes from knowing that, in a single monthly fee, they have everything covered, from roadside assistance, through maintenance and car service or comprehensive insurance, and all of it no need for long stays. In addition, although this type of subscription is subject to a monthly mileage, there is always the possibility of extending it to be able to travel anywhere without worries, especially during the holidays.
In fact, requesting a mileage change in the summer is becoming more and more common among subscribers of these vehicles. According to data from Bipi, a Spanish subscription car startup recently acquired by RCI Bank and Services, more than 40% of its users have requested a mileage increase between April and July this year, 3% more than the previous year.
In addition, another of the great advantages of a car subscription is that users can adapt the conditions of the vehicle at any time, and it offers them great flexibility options: from choosing how long they stay with the car (from 3 months to 36 months), or change the model or range of the vehicle according to your needs.
Likewise, it is a great attraction for users, since they can adapt it at any time during their subscription: if they travel with the family they can request a larger car, or if they are going to enjoy their vacations in the mountains or in the city, they can choose a car that best suits each place.
