Pay-as-you-go car plans are similar to pay-as-you-go cellular plans, allowing users to manage their monthly spend by topping up their account based on their usage needs without being locked into long-term commitments. It is designed to cater to a broader range of customers, including those with varied credit profiles and car needs, according to FlexClub.
“To build a pay-as-you-go car plan, one needs to select one's preferred vehicle, choose when the plan should start, how long it should run and where to collect the car. No old cars, no rigid contracts, no balloon payments and you can get the car in 24 hours,” said FlexClub CEO and co-founder Tinashe Ruzane.
“The inclusion of Avis and Budget Car rental vehicles in the fleet network guarantees vehicles in the fleet network are roadworthy and reliable.”
The sign-up requires no approvals or Financial Intelligence Centre Act registration. Users can select from a variety of the latest vehicle models and a pay-as-you-go car plan is available for a duration of one to 48 months. Vehicles can be collected from more than 70 locations in South Africa.
Ruzane said pay-as-you-go car plans eliminated the admin-intensive approval process that comes with vehicle finance or rent to own contracts and allowed plans to be cancelled at any time. The offering is particularly suited to users without extensive credit and financial profiles, including new graduates and credit-impaired customers.
It is also aimed at consumers preferring to avoid the commitment of traditional vehicle finance and travellers or expats needing temporary vehicle access for more than a month.
