Try the car for half a year. And then decide if it really suits you.

Try out a car for half a year. Then decide if it really suits you.

Imagine you're going to buy a house or rent an apartment, and they only let you occupy it for 30 minutes beforehand. Absurd, right? Yet, that's often what buying a car looks like – whether new from a dealership or used from a second-hand lot. One test drive, a few kilometers around the showroom... and boom, make up your mind. But how are you supposed to know if a car really suits you in 20 minutes?

A car isn't a toothbrush. It's a partner for years.

You buy a car and think, "I hope it works out." But what if it doesn't? What if after a month you start to mind the engine noise, the seating position, the trunk size, or just how it feels to live with the car every day?

• The first month you're getting used to it.
• The second you're figuring out how it handles in city traffic.
• And the third? That's when you really find out how well you click.

That's why we at Birne created Try and Buy. So you have enough time to decide and are truly confident.

Six months is enough to know if it's the right one

Six months is the ideal time. In that time, you'll truly get to know the car – no short test drive, but real-world driving in your everyday rhythm. You'll experience two or three seasons – winter scraping ice off the windows before a meeting, summer heat on the highway on the way to a client, the first spring downpour on the way back from a meeting. You'll find out how the car behaves in the wet, if it slips, hums, or if your phone slides between the seats every time you brake.

You'll test how quickly it warms up when you have your first meeting in ten minutes, and if it has enough power for quick overtakes. And how easy it is to park in an underground garage, where it's always a bit tight. You'll realize what 6.8 l/100 km really means for your commute home and back, and if the trunk really fits three suitcases or just one coat and a laptop.

In short: in half a year with the car, you'll discover everything that no brochure or test drive will tell you.

How does it work at Birne?

The Try and Buy service is simple:

• 1. You choose a car.
• 2. You take it for 6 to 12 months as a subscription.

During the rental, everything is included in the price:

• ✅ Full service
• ✅ Comprehensive insurance
• ✅ Compulsory liability insurance
• ✅ Glass insurance
• ✅ Assistance and highway vignette
• ✅ Coverage for minor damages up to CZK 5,000 or CZK 10,000
• ✅ Unlimited kilometers (for Flexi or Flexi Smart tariffs)

And after 6 months, you decide:

• You buy the car – and get a discount of up to 30% off the price (this discount is exclusive to you – it applies to the specific car you tested for half a year in regular operation. It's not a standard market offer, but a benefit of the Try and Buy service).
• You return the car – no excuses, no stress.
• You keep the car longer – perhaps on a different tariff, depending on what suits you.

What if the car doesn't suit me?

No complicated paperwork, no "buts." At Birne, we speak frankly – and this is simple: if the car doesn't suit you, you return it after 6–12 months.

We want you to be satisfied. Not to be afraid that someone will charge you CZK 40,000 for a scratched sill after returning it, just because of a minor scratch from a supermarket parking lot. (As some of the competition does – we know those stories all too well.)

Why is it better than a traditional purchase?

• 🛑 At a used car dealership, you're buying blind. The car might look good, but you often don't know how the previous owner treated it.
• 🛑 At a dealer, you get beautiful brochures but only one test drive. And then years of repayments.
• 🛑 With traditional operational leasing, you commit for 2–3 years – even if you're not sure if this is the car you really want.
• ✅ With us, you simply try it out. Properly. Without stress. And if it's not the one, we'll find another together.

And if you fall in love with the car?

Great! You can buy the car after 6–12 months – and not at the list price, but with a discount of up to 30%, which applies only to you as a Try and Buy user and to the car you know down to the last detail. And if you don't have cash, we'll also offer you advantageous financing.

Do you have your own car that you want to sell? We can help with the trade-in too. To make it as simple as possible.
