Car leasing and subscription is not very popular in India but it is growing steadily. Thanks to the new normal, a strong surge is expected in this model of car ownership as well. So much so the passenger car market leader - Maruti Suzuki has launched its new car subscription platform with which you can subscribe to any Maruti car and own it hassle-free without taking care of service, insurance and resale value.
You can subscribe to Maruti cars officially but it is currently limited to the cities of Bengaluru and Gurugram. However, we think its a matter of time before this initiative rolls out to other cities as well. You can choose any Maruti car for the subscription - both from Arena and Nexa brands. The process to get a subscription is very easy: just go to Maruti Suzuki website, select Subscribe and fill in your details.
After that, you will be greeted with all the Maruti cars which you can subscribe to, with their monthly subscription fees. Select your preferred car, fill the documents to get the delivery and return the car when your subscription ends. Right now, Maruti is offering car subscription for 24, 36 and 48 months.

What Are the Benefits of Car Subscription?
There are a lot of benefits of car subscription over owning a car. Owning a car is a big fuss these days, as you have to take care of service, insurance, RSA, down payment, resale value etc. With car subscription, you have to pay a monthly fee which is inclusive of all your insurance, service and other costs. This makes the car owning experience much easier and hassle-free. After the completion of subscription, you can increase the tenure of subscription, upgrade to another car and, in some cases, buy the car as well.

As the monthly fee covers all the service and other expenses, you don't need to spend money on anything extra. Just for an example, the subscription of the Maruti Swift VXI MT, in Gurugram for the tenure of 24 months, is Rs 24,972 per month. This amount includes the fee of service, insurance, EMI, RSA and other small expenses.
