Carify, Carvolution or The Hire Guys: Who Offers the Best Car Subscription in Switzerland?

Comparing cars is fun. Comparing providers? Not so much. So where are the differences, and what should you watch out for in the fine print? We took the time to compare the three popular car subscription services: Carify, Carvolution, and The Hire Guys (yep, that’s us). If you’re a competitor reading this: don’t bother calling your lawyer. We may not be objective, but we are fair.

Who Has the Cheapest Long-Term Car Rental?

Here’s what the providers advertise today (as of 4 November 2026):

• Carify: “from CHF 199 per month”, no down payment. The page doesn’t say which term or how many kilometres this price applies to.
• Carvolution: “from CHF 246 per month” for an Opel Corsa, with a CHF 7,680 down payment, a 48-month term and 350 km per month. Without the down payment it’s CHF 409.
• The Hire Guys: from CHF 23 per day, from just 7 days and with no mileage limit. As a subscription on aabo.ch from CHF 21.85 per day, from 2 months and with no down payment.

Are we always cheaper? No. If you drive the same car for four years and don’t do many kilometres, a long subscription costs less per month. If you need a car for a few weeks or months, don’t know for how long yet, or drive a lot, we’re cheaper: no down payment, no extra-kilometre fees, no contract over years. That’s also because we buy smart and don’t have expensive managers or board members on the payroll. We worked out the subscription prices in detail here.

Point for The Hire Guys – at least for everyone who rents short or drives a lot.

Who’s Behind These Car Subscription Services?

Carvolution is backed by big names like Mobiliar and Ringier — no surprise the big Swiss newspaper with five letters loves writing about them. Carify is also linked to a major insurer, Zurich.
Us? We’re backed by... no one. Not even Glarner Krankenversicherung (yes, it’s real) wanted to sponsor a pine-scented air freshener in our cars.
We’re the only ones not pretending to be a startup — even though we are one. Our founders are still hands-on in the daily business – even in customer support. So when you call, you won’t hear “Press 1 for German…”, you’ll hear Dave.

Sympathy point goes to us.

What Kind of Insurance Do You Need with a Car Subscription?

Security is great — unless it’s overpriced. Now, if a car subscription is really just an extended insurance product... how do they make money?
100 points if you answered “insurance.” Sadly, you can’t redeem them here — but we’ve got another promo for you further down.
With Carify, you have to pick from one of three insurance packages. With Carvolution, full comprehensive coverage is mandatory.
With us? We only require the Swiss legal minimum: liability insurance. And you can even reduce the deductible to CHF 500 to save even more.

Another point for The Hire Guys.

Are You the Spontaneous Type When It Comes to Cars?

Planning is nice. Driving is better. But do you really want to wait a month for your car?
That’s often the case with Carify and Carvolution. First, the car needs to be registered in your name. You can only rent if you live in Switzerland and pass a credit check.
Minimum rental: 1 month with Carify, 3 months with Carvolution.

We’re way more chill. Flexible. Fast.
Book today, pick up tomorrow. Our key box lets you grab your car any time – even at midnight.
Even on Christmas.
We rent cars starting from just 7 days.
And your credit score? Not our problem. You pay upfront anyway.

Sorry if this is getting repetitive, but another point for us.

Which Car Subscription Has the Best Website?

Renting a car should be fun — even before you get in.
Who has the best website? We’ll let your eyes decide:

What you won’t see at first glance but will notice when booking:

• Ours isn’t just the most colourful — it’s the clearest.
• Only with us can you extend your rental directly in your profile.
• Want to filter by ((x)), ((y)), or ((z))? Only on our site.
• Need a car with a tow bar, bike rack, or child seats? No problem.

We say: point for us. Again.

Which Long-Term Car Rental Company Does the Best Comparison?

Like we said: we’re not neutral.
But feel free to scroll through how Carify and Carvolution compare with each other.
If you start yawning halfway through — we warned you.

We’ll let you decide who really comes out on top.
