What is Revv car subscription?

Revv car subscriptions is an entirely new concept of flexible and affordable car ownership. For an all-inclusive monthly fee, you can own a car for your personal use, without worrying about a bank loan, down payment, road tax, regular servicing, or maintenance. 

Revv car subscriptions offer two variants – unboxed and brand new. You can get an unboxed car (that is, a car less than 2 years old and as good as brand new), at an affordable price and for a customizable usage period. You can also get a brand new car of your choice with zero downpayment and zero road tax. And after using the car, if you fall in love with it and want to own it, you can acquire (buy) it from us at a pre-determined settlement charge.

What is the process of subscription?

For brand new car, you can select from 25+ car models available on the Revv website. Next, you need to share some details about you, through which the company confirms your eligibility for Revv car subscriptions.

Once that is done, you need to pay a refundable deposit based on the car and usage period that you select. Prior to delivery, you need to pay the first month’s advance fee.

For an unboxed car, you can select from 10+ car models available. Next, you need to share some details about you and pay a refundable deposit of Rs 10,000. You can book a car by paying only Rs 2,000 deposit, and you can pay the balance deposit (Rs 8,000) plus the first month’s fee at the time of delivery.
