Question 1

Should I lease, rent or buy a car in Philadelphia?

Accepted Answer

The answer depends on your personal preferences, driving needs, and financial situation.

Leasing may be a good option if you want to drive a new car every few years. Renting is a short-term option if you need a car for a specific period but can be more expensive in the long run. While buying a car may be more cost-effective in the long run if you plan on keeping it for a longer period of time, you'll also have to pay for maintenance, insurance and repairs.

Additionally, a car subscription may be a good alternative that provides flexibility without long-term commitment. Unlike leasing, renting or buying, your transparent monthly fee includes everything you need to hit the road; doorstep delivery, insurance, maintenance, registration and emergency roadside assistance.

Question 2

What is the difference between a car subscription and car rental?

Accepted Answer

Car subscriptions and car rentals are different in terms of their flexibility and commitment.

Unlike short term car leases or long term rental cars, we don't require a down payment and we cover the cost of insurance, registration, repairs, maintenance and roadside assistance.

The main difference between a car subscription and car rental is the duration. There's generally a maximum length for a rental term, ranging from a couple of weeks to several months, whereas car subscription services are designed to offer you flexibility and carry on for as long as you need. With a FINN car, your subscription is all-inclusive.

At the end of your subscription term, you can switch to another FINN car or simply walk away.

Question 3

How much does a renting a car in Philadelphia cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of renting a car in Philadelphia varies depending on the company and the duration. In general, with a rental contract, there is a maximum length for a rental term, a deposit is required and you'll need to pick up the vehicle.

With a FINN car subscription, you’re only paying one transparent monthly fee that includes everything you need to hit the road; doorstep delivery, insurance, maintenance, registration, and emergency roadside assistance.

Question 4

What type of car should I rent in Philadelphia?

Accepted Answer

When choosing to rent a car in Philadelphia, it's important to evaluate your daily needs and wants. In other words, renting the perfect car means many different things to many different people.

If you plan on spending the majority of your time in town, a compact or mid-size SUV like the Chevy Blazer may be most suitable. If you're hitting the road with your family and luggage capacity is a must-have, consider renting a 8 seater such as the Jeep Wagoneer.

Question 5

Where can I find a car to rent in Philadelphia?

Accepted Answer

When choosing a car subscription instead of renting, you won't have to pick up your vehicle. All of our cars are delivered to your preferred address, free of charge. The vehicles arrive in ready-to-drive condition so that you can hit the road as soon as we hand over the keys.

In addition to your vehicle itself as well as any accompanying physical or digital components needed to operate your vehicle, we make sure to also include copies of important documents, such as your vehicle's insurance, so that you can immediately get driving safely and without worry.
