* For cars marked "Ready today" the key is already in the safe: book by 8 pm and drive off straight away. All other cars with 36 hours’ notice.
With us there is no delivery date you wait weeks for. Pick a free car online, book it and collect it in Netstal, around the clock. The key is in the safe, and we send you the code. Prefer it easy? We bring the car anywhere in German-speaking Switzerland for CHF 190.
No money paid up front. When you book, you pay the first 30 days and a CHF 500 deposit, then we charge every 30 days. Drive as many kilometres as you like. There is no package you can pick too small, and no extra kilometres at the end.
At 2,000 km a month that makes you around CHF 150 a month cheaper. The full calculation with all providers is in our post Car subscription without a down payment.
At Carvolution, the return standards decide what counts as normal wear. Stone chips at the front, for example, are only accepted up to 3 per square decimetre or 10 per part. Anything above that counts as damage.
We have no catalogue and no magnifying glass. We check every car ourselves and decide with common sense. Stone chips are part of driving. The deposit comes back within 7 days if there is no new damage. Tip: take photos of all four sides when you collect the car.
aabo belongs to The Hire Guys, a family business run by two brothers from the Glarnerland. We have been renting out cars since 2015. Our cars are well-kept rental cars from our own fleet, well equipped and serviced in our own workshop. The value stays in Switzerland.
Carvolution has been calling itself a start-up since 2018. Since 2015, we have simply called ourselves a car rental.
Our money goes into the cars and into fair prices, not into big ad campaigns.
Book, pay, extend, report a service: everything online in your profile. No paper contract, no showroom appointment. And if anything happens, roadside assistance is there around the clock, all over Europe.
aabo is offered by The Hire Guys GmbH and has nothing to do with Carvolution AG.

The lease rate is only part of it. Add the down payment, insurance, servicing, tyres, tax and kilometres to see what a leased car really costs. And compare it with a car subscription without a down payment.

Low subscription prices often come with an asterisk: a down payment, 48 months, 350 kilometres a month. We did the maths with real kilometres – and aabo comes out cheapest across the board.

A lease rate often looks slim on paper. In a vehicle subscription, servicing, tyres, insurance, vignette and vehicle tax come in one rate.
