Operational leasing is one of the advantageous ways to get a new car without spending all your savings on it. It involves minimal paperwork, thanks to various supplementary services you will be taken care of in all circumstances, and a correctly chosen tariff will give you absolute freedom on the road. Let's look at how operational leasing works, what is needed to arrange it, and what its advantages are.
Quick and easy online operational leasing arrangement?
You don't have to painstakingly choose a car for operational leasing in a crowded parking lot resembling a fourth-rate used car dealership. You can sort out operational leasing from Birne from A to Z online, from the comfort of your home or even while commuting by public transport.
On the Birne website, you will find a virtual car park full of cars of various brands, sizes, and types. From these, you can calmly choose exactly the one you like or which best suits your needs. You will find out all the essential information about the car and then simply choose a suitable tariff. There are 3 tariffs at Birne, differing in maximum mileage and contract length – both of which can be completely flexible and set exactly according to your requirements.
In addition to the basic services already included in the price, you can choose various additional services that will give you further assurances. Once you are satisfied, you reserve the car and then just wait for the contract. In a few minutes, you can have a very advantageous operational lease, and you'll be driving within a few days.
What is needed to arrange an operational lease?
For everything to go smoothly, you must have your identity document ready. You simply scan or photograph it when making a reservation, send it to Birne, and based on it, you will receive the contract.
A car for operational leasing is also a beneficial matter for entrepreneurs or an operational lease for companies - even in this case, you don't have to worry about any bureaucracy. And you don't have to provide any income statements or financial reports. When arranged for a company ID, you can also later use various tax benefits.
What else? Once you've read the contract and are satisfied, you come to Birne, view the car, try it out, and take it for a drive. Then all that's left is to pick it up and drive away. If your chosen vehicle is in stock, the whole process takes only a few days. And thanks to the innovative service called Car to Your Door, you can do all this even at your home - Birne will deliver the car exactly where you tell us to.
Deposit as a Guarantee for Operational Leasing
An operational lease car can cost you just a few thousand crowns per month, and payments work similarly to rent. Upon takeover, direct debit authorization is simply set up, and the monthly subscription is automatically deducted from your bank account. No other hidden fees await you – unless you happen to get a police fine somewhere. You also don't pay for regular manufacturer-prescribed servicing, insurance, and so on. And whatever you choose as an extra service at Birne is also paid from the company's pocket.
However, it can happen that the car gets damaged. Which is unpleasant for everyone involved. At Birne, however, you have the advantage that coverage for minor damages is already included in the basic services. If you return the car and the damages do not exceed CZK 5,000 (even CZK 10,000 for the Value tariff), you pay nothing. This is not a matter of course with all leasing companies.
Nevertheless, greater damage may occur. What about that? A deposit typically serves to cover this. Therefore, it needs to be paid on the day of taking over the car and serves as a kind of security for both you and Birne. If there is something wrong with the car upon its return, the damages will be covered from this financial reserve. If you return it in perfect condition, the entire amount will be returned to you.
And how much is it? The amount of the deposit varies from car to car. And as you might guess, the more expensive model you choose, the higher it will be - and vice versa. Typically, it is an amount ranging from CZK 20,000 to 50,000.
Operational leasing will take care of you
Many people mistakenly believe that operational leasing is just a better car rental. But that's not true. A car on an operational lease is inherently linked to a range of services that will save you a lot of worries and expenses in the event of a collision or an unexpected life situation.
If you want the cheapest operational lease, you can reserve the car with only the basic services that are already included in the price. These include mandatory liability insurance and comprehensive insurance, glass insurance, a motorway sticker for the Czech Republic, assistance service, manufacturer-prescribed service, and complete service.
Additional services then serve to ensure that you don't have to worry about the car and can fully enjoy traveling. Popular extra services at Birne include tire change and winter tire storage, reduction of the deductible for comprehensive insurance, a free replacement car, increased mileage, or even a car delivered to your door.
The most advantageous operational lease is therefore characterized not only by a favorable price but also by well-set services that give you the certainty of a strong partner behind you. If you take a car on operational lease from Birne, you will know that you are never alone.
When you fall in love, there's no going back
For some, operational leasing suits them because they can drive a new car for one, two, or three years, which they then return and get a completely different one. It's comfortable, carefree, and advantageous. Many, however, long for their own car. Which is quite an expensive affair today.
However, you cannot buy out a car on operational lease. That's what traditional financial leasing is for, and you won't find that at Birne. Nevertheless, Birne offers another unprecedented option. You can use the special "Try and Buy" service, which offers you an advantageous operational lease for 6 months. Its arrangement is exactly the same as with a classic operational lease; you handle everything online and without unnecessary paperwork.
After the six-month rental, you can decide what's next. One option is to switch to one of the regular operational leasing tariffs, where you can continue driving "your" car and pay a monthly subscription for it. Or you can buy it outright, and it will then be solely yours. The great thing is that you'll get a discount of up to 30%.
And of course, there's also a third option, where you decide to leave. The choice is yours - even if you decide to live without a car and only rent one once in a while (perhaps from Birne Rent car rental).
