Hi hackers, I happened to come up with this car subscription company – FINN. They offer 6 or 12 months car rental with different milleage options. Right now, they seem pretty new so don’t have much choice, but it looks like their deal is pretty solid on some cars. Note that their price includes everything such as tax, reg fee and even comprehensive insurance.
From TrustPilot, the reviews are good, a few complains about wear & tear charges when returning the car but nothing crazy. Just wanna know how you guys think about this. Worth a try? Any pitfall you can think of?
Limited markets (atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, nashville) but if you don’t drive much I used Flexcar when I was between leases. $70 week and up and 30-40 cents a mile. They use zip cars so standard rentals. Q8J6BW at checkout gets you 100 free miles.
It’s a 35% premium. Is that premium worth having to commit to only 1 year vs 3 years? I dunno, maybe. For me it isn’t. And I assume there are some fees/taxes on top of that $949 as well. You can’t say the word car without someone somewhere adding 12% in fees/taxes minimum.
FINN’s headquarters actually reached out to us for partnership. We have done some digging and reached out to our German contacts to ensure the legitimacy and quality of their service. We are working to negotiate some exclusive offers for Leasehackr readers at the moment. What questions do you have? We can see if we can get answers from their corporate office.
How does insurance work as far as liability coverage? Are there options for
limits?
Do they plan any ultracheap local (aka low mileage) plans? Something like a cheap Bolt or Leaf for someone like my wife (that has a 5 minute commute) would be attractive.
