In an age where people are getting inclined to pay only for what they experience, car subscription services are starting to make a lot of sense. Yes, this is the shared economy, where things are getting more expensive and at the same time, more accessible. Big car companies like Cadillac and Porsche have started subscription services in the USA and India too has its own affordable and perk-filled version – the Zoomcar Associate Program or ZAP.When you subscribe a car you are making huge savings and this is how.
Skip Down Payment and EMIs
Owning a car has always been the great Indian middle class dream, but as living costs grow vertically just like the city skylines, the liabilities of down payments, EMIs and maintenance can really be a downer.
Imagine this scenario. You have scraped together a savings of XYZ and suddenly it is all gone in your new car down payment. Then, for the next few years, while your car depreciates in value, you will be paying EMIs on its premium price. Wouldn’t it be better to keep that lump sum for investments or emergencies and find another way to have a car in the home? Modern upgrades on the typical car leasing program like ZAP ensure that you keep your bank balance steady while having a ride to take you around 24/7. You can subscribe for as little as six months to two years, so your mobility is ensured with no permanent commitment.
Additional Perks
For a monthly fee, all your other major car-related headaches are taken care of. Car maintenance is a headache and results in unplanned expenditures. Car owners have to juggle increasing car maintenance costs with EMIs but with ZAP’s subscription service, maintenance is taken care of. All you need to do is make a request and your car will get picked up for a thorough servicing session by trusted and well-trained mechanics.
Earn While You Subscribe
You can also earn money as a ZAP subscriber. If you think you are not going to use your car for a certain period, list it on the Zoomcar platform. This extra income can help you cover your monthly rental fees and free up more space in the personal finances. The process is facilitated via the Zoomcar app so there is no direct interaction with customers and you get a transparent breakdown on what you are being paid for.
There is no other transport solution that can replace the independence and privacy of driving your own car. Road trips, night drives and office commute become easy and you will not be dependent on public transport or cab companies and their price surges. ZAP allows you to enjoy all these privileges while holding on to your hard-earned money. Why not try it out?
