What is a Car Subscription?

How do car subscriptions work
Car subscriptions are more straightforward than you think. All you need to do is select the car and subscription duration you want, apply and once approved you can enjoy a brand new vehicle while paying the weekly subscription plan. Once your plan is up for renewal, you can switch the type of car you are driving so you never get bored. It is the ultimate flexible way to drive.

Karmo offers a great range of vehicles ranging from smaller hatchbacks to utes and even larger luxury SUVs.
