What is special about the wheego car subscription?

You can rent, lease or buy a car – or now also subscribe. The wheego car subscription is the easiest and most uncomplicated way to get your vehicle and is particularly advantageous if you want full cost control and want to be mobile with little effort. And it’s as simple as that: All you have to do is pay the agreed monthly instalment, which covers all services except for the fuel costs. The car subscription is our “all-round carefree package” for your mobility. You no longer have to worry about insurance, taxes or maintenance.

No matter whether you are a private or corporate customer, or whether you need one or more vehicles, we always have the right mobility solution for you.

With wheego, you can always drive the car of your choice without a long-term commitment, while remaining as flexible as possible and optimally insured.

What is included in the wheego car subscription?

Your fixed monthly wheego subscription price includes everything except refuelling, i.e. your chosen inclusive kilometre package as well as all maintenance and wear-and-tear repairs required during the subscription period, tyres (all-season tyres), main inspection / exhaust emission test (HU/AU), warranty work, vehicle tax, GEZ fees, registration, and vehicle insurance. The motor vehicle insurance includes the statutory liability insurance.

In our General Terms and Conditions, you will find detailed information about which additional costs you will incur as a driver that are not covered by the monthly contribution to wheego. These costs, if applicable, refer in summary to operating fluids (e.g. fuel, Adblue, windscreen wiper water, etc.), public usage fees (e.g. tolls), fines and penalties (plus processing fees) as well as cleaning costs.

The deductible for wheego cars in the event of damage is 750€ per claim, depending on the vehicle.

What exactly is included in my wheego car subscription?

Your wheego car subscription includes service, maintenance, taxes, insurance, GEZ, tyres and the loss in value due to the normal use of the vehicle – i.e. everything except refuelling. This also includes all naturally occurring signs of use, such as tyre and brake wear, as well as any necessary workshop appointments for tyre and oil changes. If you are involved in an accident with your wheego car, we will of course take care of settling the claim with the insurance company. Your deductible per claim depends on the wheego subscription vehicle you have booked and amounts to 750€. You can find detailed information on this in our offers.

What fees may apply?

In addition to the monthly subscription price, wheego may charge a deposit depending on your creditworthiness. The maximum amount of the deposit is three months’ rent.

If you would like your new wheego car to be delivered within Germany, we will charge you additionally for the transport costs. Collection from our wheego hubs is free of charge.

How long is the contract term / minimum term?

Your minimum term is one month, after which you can return the vehicle at any time. In case you return it before the end of the month, we will invoice you on the exact day. This ensures maximum transparency and fairness. 

You can choose between different term offers, depending on your personal needs. If you only need your wheego car for a short period of time, our flexible 3-month offers are perfect for you. If you want to drive your wheego car for longer, then you can choose the term package that best suits you, right up to the particularly favourably priced 18-month variant.

What are the costs for additional kilometers?

The price is usually between 0.15 €/km and 0.30 €/km incl. VAT, depending on the wheego vehicle type. Detailed information on the additional kilometre price of your wheego vehicle can be found on the respective product pages of all offers.

How are additional or unused inclusive kilometers billed at the end of the term?

Additional kilometres will be invoiced at the end of the term at the additional kilometre prices agreed in the contract. Less kilometres cannot be reimbursed. Unfortunately, the kilometre package cannot be adjusted after the contract has been signed.

What hidden costs could I face?

The kilometer package you have booked is included in your monthly subscription rate. The billing of more kilometers beyond the agreed package takes place cumulatively at the end of your rental period.

The mileage counts when you return it to our hubs.

When you have chosen that wheego should collect the wheego vehicle from your home, the mileage on handover to our transfer partner counts as the return mileage of your rental agreement.

For every kilometer in addition to your booked inclusive-kilometer package, you pay the agreed cost of the additional kilometers.

You have to report the current mileage of your subscription vehicle to wheego monthly by email. We only need this mandatory information to check whether you are moving as far as possible within the agreed mileage package and, if necessary, to warn you of high additional kilometer costs at the end of the subscription.

Can I sign a wheego subscription with a non-German driver’s license?

This is not a problem at all, if you have a valid EU driving license, you can start a wheego subscription at any time.
