Six reasons why you should rent an electric car

Electric cars are rapidly and successfully becoming part of the automotive industry — in 2018, almost 400,000 electrified cars (clean electric cars and plug-in hybrids) were registered in Europe, and this year their number will increase.

If you can not afford to buy an electric car, think about its long-term lease. Here are 6 reasons why you should rent an electric car:

Significant savings on rent
Rent an electric car will cost you much cheaper than its full purchase. For a small Deposit and an affordable monthly fee you can drive the most modern, environmentally friendly vehicle, which can always be exchanged for a new more productive model without damage to the budget.

Note, many owners of electric vehicles (for example, Renault ZOE) rent batteries for their vehicles.

When you lease an electric car, you pay not so much the full cost of the car as the cost of its operation.

Electric technologies are developing very quickly, new and improved models of electric vehicles are rapidly emerging on the market. Leasing for a certain period means that you will not spend money and stop on an electric car, which can quickly become obsolete.

Low operating costs
Electric vehicles differ from vehicles with internal combustion engines low operating costs. The cost of one electric car charge is nothing compared to the price of a tank of gasoline or diesel fuel. Electric vehicles do not require maintenance because they have fewer moving components than cars with ice.

Contribution to environmental protection
Another reason for driving and renting an electric car may be the desire to contribute to the protection of the environment. With zero or minimal CO2 emissions, electric vehicles are less polluting than their gasoline or diesel counterparts.

The use of trend advanced technologies
For some, the biggest incentive to buy an electrically driven car is that it represents the most advanced technology. The innovative nature of electric vehicles is often reflected in their style, for example, models such as Toyota, Mitsubishi, Renault, BMW and Nissan, have a futuristic design and non-standard functionality.

Electric vehicles such as Polestar 2, Skoda VISION iV and Honda e are experiencing the market for their very creative and attractive design.

Thanks to leasing, anyone can experience the new product without worrying about its resale, as it is the responsibility of the leasing company.

Easy maintenance
The advantage of electric vehicles is their ease of maintenance. They have fewer moving parts than a normal car. Brake pads in electric vehicles last much longer because regenerative braking is usually used.

Most leasing companies provide the opportunity to subscribe to the package service, and some even cover other costs, such as insurance.

Benefits of slower depreciation
Electric cars are the future. The internal combustion engine is no longer popular. Many motorists are ready to purchase electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles, which means that the depreciation of such vehicles is slowing down. The result is affordable monthly payments for tenants whose agreements are developed based on the depreciation of their cars.
