“How much does a car subscription cost?” is one of the most searched questions in the UK car market right now — and for good reason. The pricing structure of subscriptions is genuinely different from leasing or buying, and it can be confusing to compare like-for-like.
This guide breaks down exactly what you pay for on a car subscription, what’s included, and how AVC’s pricing stacks up.
What Does a Car Subscription Cost at AVC?
AVC offers four subscription tiers:
| Plan | 6-Month Price | 12-Month Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | £189 + VAT/month | Speak to team | Occasional use |
| Silver | £331 + VAT/month | £276 + VAT/month | Part-time drivers |
| Gold | £473 + VAT/month | £394 + VAT/month | Regular drivers |
| Diamond (Group A) | £595 + VAT/month | £585 + VAT/month | Full-time access |
| Diamond (Group B) | +£165 + VAT/month | +£165 + VAT/month | Premium vehicles |
All prices are per month. No advance payments are required.
What’s Included in the Price?
Every AVC plan includes:
- ✅ Insurance
- ✅ MOT
- ✅ Servicing
- ✅ Breakdown cover
- ✅ Maintenance
- ✅ Vehicle swaps
This is genuinely all-inclusive. You pay the monthly subscription — that’s it.
How Does This Compare to the True Cost of a Lease?
A standard car lease might show a headline figure of £250/month — but that doesn’t include insurance. Add comprehensive insurance for a modern vehicle (£700–£2,000/year depending on your age and postcode), servicing, and MOT, and the realistic cost is significantly higher.
At AVC, there are no add-ons. The figure you see is the figure you pay.
Is a Car Subscription Cheaper than Car Rental?
For anyone renting a vehicle regularly — even a few times a month — a subscription almost always works out cheaper. Daily rental rates in the UK typically run from £35–£90/day. A Silver plan giving you 49+ vehicle days works out at a fraction of that per day when calculated across the month.
Are There Any Hidden Costs?
No. AVC does not charge advance payments, admin fees, or delivery charges (within our service area). The monthly subscription is all-inclusive.
Can I Claim a Car Subscription Back on Tax or Benefits?
This depends on your individual circumstances. We’d recommend speaking to an accountant or benefits advisor for personal advice. However, for business users, a subscription may be treatable differently from a lease — worth exploring.
