Toyota South Africa in partnership with Kinto has launched the Kinto One car subscription service in the country allowing motorists to “enjoy all of the benefits of driving a new car without having to own one,” said the company.
The pay-to-use subscription model is open to individuals and companies alike and includes warranty, service, and maintenance costs with one monthly payment. Select contracts also come with Kinto Protect insurance.
Additionally, 24-hour roadside assistance with a towing service, as well as a stolen vehicle recovery device are standard with all vehicles.
No deposit is required to lease a Toyota through the Kinto One service, and the contract can be adjusted after commencement should your mobility needs change.
“Once your contract has ended, you can return the vehicle to your dealership of choice and choose which car you wish to drive next,” said Toyota.
However, if the vehicle has received excessive damage or exceeded the maximum prescribed mileage stated in the agreement, the customer will be billed accordingly.
What’s on offer
To rent a new Toyota through the subscription service, customers must navigate to the Kinto One website, enter the average mileage they drive on a monthly basis along with the amount they’d like to spend, and the available models that fit their budget will appear.
The contract duration is “determined by your monthly kilometers traveled,” said Toyota.
Assuming an average driving distance of 1,000km per month, the following vehicles are available:
- Toyota Agya – From R4,453 p/m for 54 months
- Toyota Corolla Cross – From R6,915 p/m for 60 months
