Because we have the right electric vehicle for you – no matter what the situation. Switching to a new car is quick and easy online with just a few clicks.

But is the car subscription from Clyde really something for you? We’ll show you the advantages Clyde has over leasing or buying a car.
These are the biggest advantages of leasing
Not enough money on the side at the moment, but you still need a car? That’s where the leasing option comes in. You pay the leasing company monthly installments over a certain period of time and thus finance your own vehicle without having to spend a large amount of money. Moreover, you can always test new cars or even buy one from leasing. Another big advantage of the leasing variant: The depreciation of the vehicle is not your problem. This is because this risk lies with the leasing company.
These are the biggest disadvantages of leasing
So leasing has some advantages and you might think: “That’s as easy as a car subscription from Clyde”. But you are very much mistaken. The low lease rates can come out as a dazzler. They do not include additional costs, such as comprehensive insurance. Therefore, the effective cost of leasing is usually several times higher than the original rate. The TCS gives as a rule of thumb: leasing rate × 2 = monthly costs; for used cars even leasing rate × 3. Okay, one thing is the same as with Clyde: The vehicle never belongs to you during the entire leasing period – even if it feels like it.

These are the biggest advantages when buying a car
Of course, there are advantages to buying a car outright. For example, the vehicle belongs to you and you do not have to worry about monthly payments. Moreover, you can sell it quickly if you don’t need your car anymore or need money unexpectedly.
These are the biggest disadvantages when buying a car
A new vehicle has its price, and so it is usually a purchase for a long period of time. So the flexibility is completely lost. What if you suddenly need a bigger or smaller car or become a fan of another brand? Of course, you can sell your vehicle and buy a new one. But: The value has already dropped drastically by then and so you need new capital again. In addition, you have to pay for any costs incurred for repairs, damage, service and insurance yourself. According to TCS, a purchased new car with a price of CHF 35,000 and an annual mileage of 15,000 km incurs expenses of just under CHF 10,500 per year.
These are the costs you will incur when you buy:
- Acquisition costs
- Insurances
- Taxes
- Servicing
- Repairs
- Vignette
- Tyres
- Charging costs for e-car
