Why Subscribe to a Smart Car
A car subscription is the way to go if you want to skip the waitlist for a Smart car. Whether you’re in it for the long run or just exploring whether an electric vehicle will suit your lifestyle, subscribing to a car gives you quick and easy access to the Smart car. Karmo car subscription plans start with a minimum term of 4 months. You can start your journey to sustainable driving with no large capital outlay or financial risk.
Karmo car subscriptions for your Smart car covers everything except for your charging costs. Registration, maintenance, roadside and insurance are all included into your weekly subscription fee. We don’t charge joining fees or setup fees. Unlike car rentals, leasing and most other competitors, we don’t provide used vehicles so you’ll always drive a new car with very few KMs on the odometer.
Karmo is trusted by drivers Australia-wide
With flexible and all-inclusive plans, there is only one thing to worry about, enjoying every drive. Here’s what our customers say about Karmo car subscriptions.
EV subscription
Benefits
- 01. See if an EV is right for you
Subscription is the cheapest and most flexible way to trial an EV. You can see how an EV fits into your daily routine, configure a charging schedule, get used to the performance and generally see if an EV is right for you.
- 02. Skip the long lines
Don’t wait months or even years for your new EV to hit Australian shores. Drive an EV sooner rather than later with Karmo.
- 03. Make a difference
Reduce your carbon emissions and take positive climate action. By doing good you can also save on fuel costs by charging at stations or at your residence.
- 04. Always drive the latest EVs
Our car subscription model will replace your EV with a brand new one once your term is up or give you an option to swap to a newer EV model.
Why Karmo car subscription?
- No commitment
Karmo car subscription is extremely flexible and doesn’t tie you down. A car lease is a much longer-term commitment, often around 3 years. There’s a good chance your circumstances or lifestyle will change in that time, meaning you’ll have to continue paying out the rest of your lease even when you no longer want the car or pay out a large termination fee. Subscription allows you to be flexible with term length while only paying an all-inclusive weekly fee.
- Low risk
When buying or leasing a car, general wear and tear is almost inevitable along with uncertainty due to vague policies if you are leasing. At Karmo, you receive a brand-new car every 4 months. Not only does this mean your vehicle is very unlikely to accumulate wear and tear, it also means you’ll never have to make time to go to the mechanic.
- Low cost
The weekly average of your entire car expenses for the year can be a hefty sum! Add to this the often-forgotten cost of depreciation when buying a new car, and the sum becomes even larger. A Karmo subscription allows you to pay one all-inclusive and affordable weekly sum that ends up being less than new car repayments and costs.

What is an EV subscription?
Karmo electric vehicle subscriptions allow our customers to drive new EVs without committing to long term contracts or worrying about the everyday aspects of owning a car. Karmo’s car subscription fee bundles depreciation, registration, roadside assist, insurance, servicing and maintenance into one neat, weekly fee. There is plenty of flexibility when it comes to swapping cars and every car on our subscription rotation is brand new. Karmo makes sure you receive a brand new car every 4 or 6 months, so you’re never paying for a used rental!

Is charging costs included in the EV subscription plan?
While our subscription plan covers a wide range of expenses, it’s important to note that certain costs are not included. These costs include charging expenses, which remain the responsibility of the subscriber. This means that you will need to bear the costs associated with charging the vehicle during your subscription period.
