Operational leasing is a modern solution for anyone who wants to drive a new car without worries and without large initial investments. However, its slight disadvantage is that you have to decide on a certain maximum annual mileage at the very beginning. If you misjudged your plans and are already approaching the limit, there is no need to despair - increasing your mileage will allow you to keep driving.
Advantages of operational leasing tariffs
When arranging operational leasing from Birne, you can choose between 3 tariffs - Value, Flexi Smart, and Flexi. These differ not only in the contract duration but primarily in the maximum mileage. The most modest Value allows you to drive 10,000 km, or up to 30,000 km per year. For those who do not want any restrictions, there is the Flexi Smart and Flexi tariff with unlimited mileage.
Operational lease tariffs by mileage
| Tariff | number of km |
| Value | 10,000 - 30,000 km |
| Flexi Smart | unlimited |
| Flexi | unlimited |
If you choose only limited mileage and it becomes insufficient, there is no reason to put the car in the garage and stop using it. You just need to use one of Birne's above-standard operational leasing services, which is mileage increase. This is intended not only for the two mentioned tariffs but also applies to the exceptional service Try and Buy, which offers car rental for half a year and then gives you the option to choose what to do next (continue, buy at a favorable price, or return).
How does mileage increase work at Birne?
The maximum mileage limits are not set randomly. They are usually set according to the anticipated needs of customers. For clients who plan to drive mainly in the city or for shorter distances, the basic tariff with limited mileage is usually sufficient. If you use the car more often – for example, for regular business trips or transportation for foreign holidays – it is ideal to choose the middle option.
However, your needs or life situation may change during the contract period, and suddenly you start using the car much more than before. And this is where Birne comes in with its mileage increase service. Thanks to it, you can adapt the leasing conditions to your actual needs at any time.
It's simple, effective, and you don't have to worry about any bureaucracy. You simply contact Birne and request an increase in mileage. This gives you the opportunity to drive according to your needs and without fear of high surcharges at the end of the lease agreement.
Changes in car servicing
Depending on how the operational lease's mileage is set, regular servicing is also governed. As part of the basic services, which are already included in the price, regular servicing is prescribed by the manufacturer. Nothing changes with this, and it needs to be carried out at regular intervals.
At the same time, you also have full service included up to 50,000 km/year. This applies to Smart and Flexi tariffs. However, once you exceed this mileage, another service check will await you, or the interval to the next one will be shortened.
Therefore, increasing mileage usually involves full service above 50,000 km/year, which is another above-standard service at Birne. Its alternative is service up to 70,000 km/year or above 70,000 km/year. Depending on your maximum mileage and the current odometer reading, it may therefore be necessary to order these services as well.
