Why car subscription is becoming popular?

New age car owners opt for hassle-free access to the vehicle ownership instead of going for the deal with a higher cost of ownership that comes when a new car is purchased. The millennials are especially interested in the car subscription programs instead of owing them.

The subscription plans offer them a sense of ownership without actually owning the vehicle. Also, it comes with the option of changing a vehicle after a certain tenure without going through the hassle of selling and buying an existing and new vehicle respectively. Besides that, these plans offer the customers an asset-light lifestyle, flexibility and affordability as well.
