Buying a vehicle brings its own benefits, but it also ties up capital and administration. In contrast, flexible operating leasing through AVIS MaxiRent provides flexibility, predictable costs and professional mobility management.

Today's business environment is faster and more volatile - companies increasingly prefer services that allow them to focus on their core business rather than operational concerns

Buying a vehicle - an investment with risk

Advantages of buying:

- Full ownership - once paid for, the car is company property.
- No strings attached - the company can use the car for as long as it wants.
- Unlimited mileage - no limits from the lessor.

Disadvantages of buying:

1. High initial investment

• A normal mid-range company car (Skoda Octavia, VW Passat) costs €25-40k.
• For a fleet of 10 vehicles, this is €250-400k of capital that could have been used for growth or innovation.

2. Loss of value

• A car loses 15-20% of its value after the first year.
• After five years, the car is worth about 40% of the original price.
  The risk of residual value is always borne by the company.

3. Administrative and operational burden

• Registration, vehicle tax, insurance, service intervals, replacement vehicles in case of breakdown.
• Need to deal with multiple suppliers - service, tyre service, insurance company.

4. Accounting and cash flow

• The car appears on the balance sheet as an asset and is depreciated over 4-6 years.
• A high purchase price can negatively affect the company's liquidity.

In 2025, flexible operating leasing through AVIS MaxiRent is clearly becoming a more attractive solution for most businesses. It reduces capital requirements, minimises administrative burdens and delivers the flexibility that is key in a dynamic business environment.

Buying a vehicle only makes sense for those companies that plan to use one vehicle for a very long time and are prepared to bear all the costs associated with its maintenance and loss of value.

AVIS MaxiRent thus allows companies to focus on what is really important - their own business - while mobility is taken care of by a professional partner with a global background.
