There was a time when car leasing was considered to be primarily for company vehicles. Nowadays, the list of leased vehicles extends right across the population. Volvo also offers customers the opportunity to lease cars. And Volvo wouldn’t be Volvo if they didn’t have some attractive special features built in. Let’s take a look at them one by one.
Firstly, what is leasing?
Before we start, we should explain the basic difference between buying, financing and leasing. When you buy a Volvo from Hüsser & Palkoska AG, you pay the full purchase price and the car is yours. If you finance, you also buy the car. The only difference is that the purchase price is not paid in one lump sum, but in monthly installments. As soon as the last instalment has been paid, the Volvo is 100 percent yours.
With leasing, the car is not purchased and you do not have to pay the full purchase price. Instead, you ‘borrow’ the car for a fixed period of time (which you choose yourself). During the time you own the car, it depreciates in value. You pick up a brand-new car and return a used car years later. With car leasing, you simply pay this depreciation instead of the purchase price. At the end, you return the car or can buy it at its residual value. Payment is made in monthly installments.
The special features of Volvo leasing
First of all, you should know that Volvo emphasises fair and manageable solutions. The focus is on unbureaucratic processing as well as consistently low monthly installments for you. But that’s not all: every Volvo leasing contract includes a range of useful extras, some of which are standard and others can be added as required.
Fixed components of Volvo leasing
Integrated maintenance service
Like all car manufacturers, Volvo attaches great importance to ensuring that your car enjoys regular servicing and maintenance. The special thing about this is that the Swedish manufacturer covers the costs for all its leasing contracts! However, this also applies to cash purchases. Because the safety of our customers is important to Volvo.
Optional extras for Volvo leasing
Built-in insurance
Don’t feel like worrying about the right insurance? In that case, you can simply leave it to Volvo. The ongoing premiums are integrated into the leasing installment without any red tape. GAP cover is also available on request. This covers the difference between the redemption value and the replacement value in the event of a total loss or vehicle theft. The background to this is that the monthly leasing installments do not cover the entire loss in value, especially in the initial period. In this case, Volvo steps in via ‘GAP’.
Wear and tear service (included with all Volvo cars in Switzerland for the first 4 years, excluding tyres)
Hand on heart: cars don’t get better when you drive them. It is not without reason that we talk about ‘wear and tear parts’. This is where this special service comes in: it covers the labour and costs of repairing ‘natural wear and tear’. A complicated term, but extremely helpful in everyday life. Especially as both material and labour costs are covered. The Volvo wear and tear service is included with all Volvo vehicles and not just with leasing contracts. The service is valid for the first 4 years. However, this does not include tyre wear.
Sustainability and environmental friendliness when leasing electric and hybrid cars
Environmental awareness is playing an increasingly important role – even when driving. With Volvo Leasing, you are sending out a clear signal in favour of sustainability, especially if you opt for an electric or hybrid model. With its wide range of electrified vehicles, Volvo not only offers environmentally friendly alternatives to the classic combustion engine, but also actively supports you in your everyday life:
Volvo is placing greater emphasis on CO₂-neutral production processes and sources its batteries from sustainable supply chains. Continuous development of the charging infrastructure and innovative mobility solutions will make the switch to electric mobility even easier. Anyone leasing an electric car also benefits from a technology that is developing rapidly – without having to commit to a vehicle in the long term. This means you remain flexible and can always rely on the latest advances in range, charging speed and energy efficiency.
With a Volvo lease vehicle, you not only drive comfortably and with low emissions, but also actively help shape the future of mobility.
Compared to a traditional car purchase, leasing an electric vehicle also offers the advantage that you always have access to the latest technology. Especially in times when the ranges and charging speeds of electric cars are improving rapidly, your vehicle will always be up to date. So you can drive in an environmentally friendly and carefree manner.
Special features of Volvo Car Full Service Leasing
In addition to ‘normal’ leasing, Volvo also offers the so-called Volvo Car Full Service Leasing. Here you receive additional extras such as
Mobil Service – your built-in replacement car
Maintenance issues don’t always occur when you need them. This is a realisation that everyone who has ever taken a seat behind the wheel of a car has had to make. The Mobil Service add-on module solves this problem: in the event of maintenance, you automatically receive a replacement car on the spot. This eliminates the need to book a hire car.
Damage management
As the saying goes: ‘He who has the damage doesn’t have to worry about the mockery.’ In the case of Volvo leasing, it should read: ‘If you have the damage, you don’t have to worry about the rest.’ In concrete terms, this means that you only have to pick up the phone to report the damage. The car is then collected, taken to the workshop, repaired and returned to you. The associated bureaucracy is taken care of by others.
Comparison of Volvo Car Leasing with other providers
There are many leasing offers – but Volvo Car Leasing stands out from the competition with a number of special features. While other providers often have hidden costs or complicated contract details, Volvo focusses on transparency and customer proximity.
One example of Volvo’s well thought-out vehicle utilisation is the integrated maintenance service, which is directly linked to the vehicle – regardless of whether you lease or buy it. This means you benefit from a reliable service without having to worry about separate maintenance contracts.
Volvo Car Leasing not only offers attractive conditions, but also in-depth expertise in all aspects of its own vehicles. Thanks to its specialisation in Volvo models, customers benefit from tailor-made leasing offers, optimally coordinated service and expert advice that is specially tailored to the needs of Volvo drivers.
If you have the choice between buying and leasing a car, you should consider these advantages: With Volvo leasing, you always drive a vehicle that is perfectly maintained and secured – and enjoy services that are often lacking with other providers.
Optional extras for commercial customers
Support with fleet management
A fleet is work. When you lease your vehicles from Volvo, the Swedish manufacturer takes some of the hassle off your hands. Specifically: The handling and payment of all prescribed fees and taxes!
Take over the fuel management
Using the DKV fuel card, your drivers can buy fuel and engine oil and wash the vehicle at all major petrol stations throughout Europe. In addition, there is a detailed report and individual invoices for each vehicle.
Further advantages of Volvo Car Leasing
A major advantage of Volvo Car Leasing is the ability to plan your monthly costs precisely. Thanks to the fixed monthly instalments, you know from the outset exactly how much you will have to spend – with no hidden costs or unforeseen surprises. This creates financial security and makes budgeting easier than ever before.
Compared to a traditional car purchase, which often involves high one-off costs, leasing offers a flexible alternative: you can adjust the amount of the down payment, the contract term and the mileage to suit your individual needs and thus tailor the monthly installments to your budget. This flexibility is an important advantage, especially for families, young drivers or companies.
With Volvo leasing, you get everything from a single source: service, maintenance and insurance can be handled directly by Volvo. This means less administrative work and a transparent cost structure. Instead of having to deal with different providers, you receive all important services conveniently from a single source – for stress-free and well-organised vehicle use.
With Volvo Leasing, you not only drive a first-class vehicle, but also keep a complete overview of your finances. Carefree mobility that requires no compromises.
This is only a rough overview. Our friendly team will be happy to answer any further questions you may have and provide you with personalised quotations.
Your Hüsser & Palkoska AG wishes you a safe journey!
