1. What does AVIS MaxiRent long-term lease 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 plan them directly in the budget,

• 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.
