Long term car rental FAQs
Curious about how our car subscription compares to a long term car rental in Melbourne? Here are some FAQs that will give you the full picture.
Is Karmo subscription like a monthly car rental?
It shares many convenient similarities with a monthly car rental, as you get flexible access to a brand-new vehicle without the long-term debt of buying or leasing, all bundled into a single regular payment. However, unlike a standard month-to-month long term car rental, a Karmo car subscription has a minimum commitment of just 4 months. Once this initial 4-month period is complete, you unlock complete flexibility to swap vehicles, continue your plan, or cancel by simply providing 30 days’ notice.
How do the kilometre allowances differ?
Long term car rentals typically strictly cap your driving or charge heavy penalties if you commute frequently. Karmo provides a generous kilometre allowance of 385 km per week. Uniquely, Karmo lets you bank any unused kilometres for future use, such as longer road trips.
How do the upfront costs compare to a long term car rental?
Traditional long term car rentals often require high upfront costs, hidden peak-season rates, and credit card deposits. A Karmo car subscription does not require a hefty deposit, sign-up fee, or joining fee. Karmo offers a locked-in weekly fee with $0 application fees, giving you affordable access without a massive financial commitment upfront.
Will I know exactly which car I am getting?
Yes. With a traditional long term car rental, you are often handed a high-kilometre car from an unpredictable “or similar” fleet category. In contrast, Karmo gives you the option to choose the exact make and model you want to drive. Karmo provides only new cars, ensuring you are never stuck with a vehicle that doesn’t suit your needs. You can browse our available cars online to select exactly what you will be driving.
What is the main difference between a Karmo car subscription and a long term car rental?
While both options give you access to a vehicle without the commitment of buying or leasing, a Karmo car subscription offers predictable costs, no long-term lock-in, and the freedom to change vehicles with your lifestyle. It provides new vehicle guarantees, pricing transparency, and a rolling kilometre allowance that traditional long term car rentals do not offer.
What is included in a Karmo car subscription plan?

- Cost of the Car: The subscription fee covers the cost of the vehicle itself, allowing you to enjoy driving without the burden of car ownership.
