The weekly subscription fee aims to cover all of the cost of owning, maintaining and running a car such as depreciation, interest, registration, insurance, routine maintenance, roadside assist, mechanic faults, faulty and worn tyres and batteries. The subscription fee excludes tolls and fuel.

The upfront fee covers the costs of procuring the vehicle, cleaning and detailing, comprehensive service and safety checks as well as setting the vehicle up to deliver on our subscription service. It varies for each car depending on the year, make and model selected.

The total minimum costs for Carbar’s service includes the upfront fee and ‘initial’ four week subscription fee. The upfront fee is billed to your chosen payment method when you order a car subscription online. The initial four week subscription fee is billed on the car’s delivery or pick-up otherwise known as the “subscription start date”.

Carbar operates a fortnightly billing cycle. The weekly subscription fee as well as any other charges you may incur in connection with the use of our service, such as tolls and possible transaction fees (see below), will be charged to your payment method on the specific payment date. You can choose to pay by Credit/Debit Card or Direct Debit.

As a member, you can see your next payment date by visiting our website and navigate to Billings in the Account section of your My Dashboard.
