Mycardirect
Mycardirect is a UK based company providing vehicle subscriptions.

Customers pay a monthly subscription fee that covers the cost of a car, maintenance (excluding accidental damage), MOT, road tax, and breakdown cover. Car subscription allows customers to change their car during the subscription period and change subscription length.

History
Mycardirect is a start-up that launched in September 2020 amid the UK national lockdown. Materialized from car leasing contractual frustrations, the team utilized decades of car industry knowledge and connections to create a vehicle subscription model.

Service
Customers choose from the selection of cars on the Mycardirect website, or can call to enquire about sourcing a specific make/model, and are then taken through a fully online process to confirm delivery. Subscription lengths vary from 1 month to 24 months and there is no long-term commitment. For a monthly subscription fee, the customers receives an all-inclusive package that encompasses car maintenance (excluding accidental damage), MOT, road tax, and breakdown cover. The customer has the opportunity to source their own vehicle insurance, enabling them to find the cheapest available.

Vehicle Rental
In January 2021, Mycardirect acquired a rental company, now known as Mycardirect Rental, that has offices located in Hemel Hempstead and Birmingham. The local retail and business rental service provides vehicle solutions from 1 day to 28 days. There are also longer term rental solutions available for corporate customers. By combining rental and subscription, Mycardirect was able to increase its fleet size and operations team.
