What does long-term rental at CarAdvance mean?+
With us you can rent a new or low-mileage German premium car in flawless condition long term — Mercedes, BMW, Audi and others — for at least 6 months (we do not offer daily or weekly rental). We pay for servicing, tax and summer and winter tyres, and the deposit is better than the market average, so you basically just drive.
Who benefits from renting instead of buying?+
Anyone who always wants a new premium car without tying up a large sum and bearing the risks of ownership. It is particularly advantageous for companies: the rental fee is a deductible expense, and the capital can stay in the business, where it earns more.
How long can I rent for?+
Both short and long term. You can switch to a new car of your choice as often as every six months — we always tailor the exact term and conditions to your needs.
How much is the deposit?+
Considerably lower than the market average: with us, you don’t have to put down up to 20% of the car’s value, so you can take over your premium car with far less money tied up. The exact amount depends on the model and the arrangement, and we set it out transparently in advance.
What are the requirements for renting?+
A valid driving licence and the basic documents required for renting. We agree the specific terms depending on the chosen car and arrangement — and help you quickly understand exactly what applies to you.
Do I need a large down payment or advance?+
Apart from the deposit, there is typically no large down payment. The payment schedule is set out in advance, item by item, in the rental contract — no small print and no hidden costs.
What is included in the rental fee?+
Everything you need for worry-free use is included: we cover servicing costs and taxes, and you also get summer and winter tyre sets from us. No unexpected bills for you.
Who pays for servicing, tax and tyres?+
We do. Maintenance, taxes and seasonal tyres are our job — you don’t have to deal with them at all, you just drive.
Is there a mileage limit?+
Yes: depending on the car, a mileage allowance of 2 000–4 000 km per month applies, pooled over the whole rental period. If you need more, we agree on it in advance and set it out in the contract — so there are no surprises.
What cars can I rent?+
Only German, new or nearly new premium cars in perfect condition — Mercedes, BMW, Audi and similar brands. You can view the current range on our cars available for rent page.
Can I switch cars during the rental?+
Yes. You are not tied to a single model: you can switch to a new car of your choice as often as every six months, always according to your taste and current needs.
Can I request a specific model, equipment or colour?+
Yes. Tell us what you would like, and we will find the right car for you from the entire German market — exactly the model, equipment and colour you are looking for.
Can a company deduct the rental fee as a business expense?+
Yes, the rental fee is a deductible business expense — a significant financial and tax advantage. No capital is tied up in the car, so your free capital can work for you in your business.
Do you issue VAT invoices?+
Yes, for corporate rentals we issue proper VAT invoices with transparent, itemised billing.
Do you also manage fleets?+
Yes, we also put together and manage corporate fleets of several cars. Let us know how many cars and what arrangement you need, and we will send you a personalised offer.
How does the rental start?+
Write to us or call us and tell us what car and arrangement you are looking for. We select the right car, agree the terms, sign the contract and hand over the car ready to drive — we take care of the rest.
What happens at the end of the rental?+
You simply return the car — you don’t have to find a buyer, advertise or haggle, and there is no residual value risk. If you like, you can switch straight to a newer model.
Can I take the rental car abroad?+
In most cases, yes, subject to prior agreement. Let us know where you plan to travel, and we will arrange the necessary permits and insurance cover.
