1. What does AVIS MaxiRent long-term rental actually mean

AVIS MaxiRent is a long-term vehicle rental for 2-12 months that combines elements of operating lease and short-term rental:

the car is not owned by the company or the individual - it remains the property of AVIS,
the client pays a flat rental fee, which includes:
- financing of the vehicle,
- service and maintenance,
- tyres and change of tyres,
- assistance services,
- legal and accident insurance (according to the package),
simply return or exchange the vehicle at the end of the agreed period.

From the entrepreneur's point of view, this is a service, not an investment. This is key to everything that follows.

2. It does not burden the credit register - debt-free mobility

When you buy a car on credit or finance lease, an entry automatically appears on the credit registers.
This can:

Deteriorate the credit rating of the company or entrepreneur,
make it more difficult to obtain other financing (e.g. for technology, machinery, real estate),
increase overall interest costs.

With AVIS MaxiRent long-term leases, the credit register is not pulled at all.

You do not have a loan or finance lease,
you do not record a long-term car finance liability in your books,
you look "cleaner" to the bank - when you need an investment loan, the bank won't see that you're in debt because of the cars.

For sole traders and smaller LLCs, this is a huge advantage:
Cars don't "eat up" your borrowing capacity, which you can use for what really makes you money - business.

3. 100% tax deductible expense - rent as a service

From the company's point of view, the rent for a long-term AVIS MaxiRent lease is an operating expense for services.

This means:

the rent invoice goes directly to the cost of the period,
you are not committing yourself for years to come through depreciation of the asset,
you can more easily plan your profit and tax base.

Whereas when you buy a car:

the entry price of the car goes into the asset,
it goes to cost gradually through depreciation (e.g. 4 years),
you "carry" the car on the balance sheet and depreciate it regardless of whether you still want to use it,

for a long-term lease:

you do not depreciate,
you have a clear, predictable expense each month,
from an accounting and tax perspective, it's much simpler and more flexible.

Provided the legal conditions are met, it is a fully tax-deductible expense - just as the banners indicate.

4. Mobility without burdening cash flow - CAPEX out, OPEX in

Buying a car means either:

A one-off expenditure (tens of thousands of euros),
or regular loan/lease payments + down payment/increased payment at the beginning.

In both cases:

you are tying up the equity in a car that is permanently losing value,
you're increasing the debt,
you run the risk of unplanned repairs popping up after the warranty expires.

Long-term AVIS MaxiRent works differently:

No down payment,
no big upfront investment,
just a regular monthly payment for the mobility service.

From a cash flow perspective:

costs are spread over time,
you can budget them directly,
you have free funds for salaries, marketing, production or expansion.

For a company that doesn't want to own a car at any cost but needs the security of reliable transport, this is the ideal combination:
Mobility yes, credit no.

5. Thanks to GPS, up to 100% VAT deduction - clean separation of private and business journeys

VAT deduction for private vehicles is a topic in itself in Slovakia.
As a standard rule, for mixed use (business + private), the deduction is limited unless you can prove that the car is used exclusively for business.

This is where GPS and electronic logbooks come into play, which are a natural part of modern long-term rental:

the system accurately records routes, kilometres, times and the purpose of the journey,
journeys can be marked as business/private,
with the right internal guidelines and process in place, you can prove that a particular vehicle is used exclusively for business, or to what extent.

In practice, this means:

for vehicles used only for business, you can - in accordance with current legislation - claim up to 100% of the deductible VAT,
for mixed use, you can deduct VAT proportionally according to the actual GPS data, not "by eye".

AVIS MaxiRent adds to this:

Professional setup of the GPS solution,
clear reports for accounting and tax advisor,
the ability to combine GPS reporting with internal approval processes.

Result:
Legal, transparent and tax-efficient use of VAT, backed up by data - not a handwritten notebook in a drawer.

6. What's all "in the package" - services for a month, not worries for years

In the photo you see a family that doesn't worry about whether they have paid their PZP, whether their car is serviced, whether they have a flat tire...
This is how corporate or business mobility is supposed to work.

You can have AVIS MaxiRent included in your rent:

service and maintenance according to the prescribed intervals,
tyre service and seasonal retreading,
24/7roadside assistance in Slovakia and abroad,
insurance (compulsory and accident insurance) according to the chosen package,
provision of STK and EK for longer leases,
replacement vehicle in case of breakdown or accident.

All this means:

fewer phone calls to the garage,
no "surprise" invoices for major repairs,
less downtime in business when the car is stationary.

From a TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) perspective, a long-term lease is a very readable model:
one price - lots of services - minimum risks.

7. A concrete example: how it looks in numbers

Let's imagine a simplified example:

A business needs a compact SUV for 12 months,
annual mileage of 30,000 km,
he wants the car to represent the company, but he doesn't want to tie up capital.

Option A - purchase / finance lease

Vehicle purchase price: € 30 000 excluding VAT,
20% down payment: € 6 000,
the rest financed for 4 years,
first year: depreciation + interest + insurance + servicing + tyre service + spare car in case of breakdown,
in accounting, asset, liability, depreciation...

Result:

high upfront burden on cash flow,
long-term liability,
risk of future repairs and uncertain residual value.

Option B - long-term lease of AVIS MaxiRent

No down payment,
monthly rent - e.g. 700-800 € excluding VAT (illustrative),
included in the rent:
- service,
- tyres,
- insurance,
- assistance,
- administration around the vehicle.

In accounting:

12 invoices for the service,
no assets, no depreciation, no credit,
rent as 100% tax deductible expense (subject to conditions).

If you add to that the GPS option and full VAT deduction, the real annual cost of mobility is:

Transparent,
tax-optimised,
without the risk of a "big fad" in the form of a gearbox failure or total damage to your own car.

8. For whom this model is ideal

Long-term AVIS MaxiRent leases make the most sense for:

Sole traders and small businesses that don't want to lock up capital in cars,
growing businesses that need the flexibility to add and remove cars as projects arise,
companies after the change in VAT legislation that are looking for simple and "clean" solutions,
managers, dealers, service teams who need a reliable and presentable car - but don't want to deal with service and paperwork.

In short, for all those who want a beautiful view and peace of mind in the photo - not worrying about how much their next service or next loan will cost.

9. Conclusion.

The text on the banner captures the essence of AVIS MaxiRent's long-term lease in one sentence:
Mobility without debt, without tied-up capital and with maximum tax efficiency.

no burden on the credit register,
the rent is a 100% tax deductible expense (subject to legal conditions),
cash flow remains with the company,
thanks to GPS and the right process setup, up to 100% of deductible VAT can be claimed,
services that would otherwise cost time, nerves and money are included.

If you want your mobility to look like the picture - free, without the stress of invoices and credits - then a long-term AVIS MaxiRent lease is a solution that's worth at least recalculating.

And that's always a good first step:
Take your current car costs, compare them to the MaxiRent model, and see how much your business would save if cars were a service, not a worry.
