fair play if you've got the cash to deal with the uplift, and the real inclination to swap cars that much. They're approaching more "traditional" lease firms to sweep up returned vehicles (so upto 3 yrs old in reality). My pondering as a consumer, is that are some firms go very heavy on the BVRLA fair wear and tear guide (the condition you return the vehicle in), not sure how this company will handle that, but potential to sting you on return.

Looks to be roughly double the price of a long lease so you’re paying a serious amount extra for the convenience / not being tied in.
I can see them being a good solution for people on long holidays for whom a rental would be prohibitively expensive or wanted to do a long term test drive before committing to a purchase of say a Tesla or an XC90. But if you wanted a car for anything longer than a few months at a time you’d almost be better just buying nearly new and selling it once you’re done.

Interesting concept though.
