About subscription

What is Volvo subscription?

Volvo subscription is a 24-month subscription lease program with an all-inclusive monthly payment. This payment includes the usage of the vehicle, maintenance, and other common services related to vehicle ownership. Volvo also takes care of the insurance coverage†.

What is the difference between Care by Volvo and Volvo subscription, and how does this affect me?

If you signed a Care by Volvo Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement dated February 29, 2024 or earlier, you are a Care by Volvo subscriber and are subject to the terms of your specific Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement, including the Early Termination: Cancellation Option available beginning at the 5th month in your lease term (subject to eligibility requirements). Contracts entered in the State of Illinois will be eligible for cancellation after 12 months. Volvo subscription, as described on this site, is not the same as Care by Volvo. You still maintain the same coverage and program benefits as described by your Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement when you signed up. Please contact Customer Care at 800-550-5658, option 1 should you have any questions about the differences.
If you signed a Volvo subscription Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement dated March 1, 2024 or forward, you are a Volvo subscription customer and are subject to the terms of your lease. The FAQs and other materials available on the main Volvo subscription webpage and FAQ page are accurate descriptions of this program.
If you are a legacy Care by Volvo subscriber and it’s time to re-subscribe, you can reach our Customer Care team 24/7 to help understand the differences between the legacy and current program. You can reach them by dialing 800-550-5658 and pressing option 1 to reach our subscription team.

What is the difference between a Volvo subscription and a traditional car lease?

When you lease a car, you are contracted for a longer period, typically 36 months. With Volvo subscription, you don’t have the same long-term commitment, as we provide you with the ability to cancel your subscription and return the vehicle any time after 12 months in the lease term and 12 payments have been made to Volvo Car Financial Services. To be eligible to terminate the lease early, you must enter a new contract with Volvo Car Financial Services for another subscription, lease, or finance (new or certified pre-owned).

What is included with Volvo subscription?
  • 1,250 miles/month
  • Insurance coverage†
  • Enhanced Factory Scheduled Maintenance
  • Excess Wear and Use Protection
  • Road Hazard Tire & Wheel Protection
  • Roadside Assistance
  • Flexible Terms*
What maintenance is included?

With your Volvo subscription, we include complimentary factory scheduled maintenance services recommended for your Volvo (according to your Warranty & Maintenance booklet) at each 10,000-mile interval. This maintenance offering is enhanced to also include common wear items: replacement wiper blades, brake pads, and rotors. This coverage enhancement is included for the principal 24-month term or the first 30,000 miles from starting mileage listed in the lease contract, whichever comes first.

What is Excess Wear and Use Protection?

When your vehicle is returned, it will be subject to inspection by a third party. With Volvo subscription, we will waive up to $1,000 of excess wear on the condition report. Examples of excess wear include large dents and dings to body panels, windshield damage, and tire replacement due to wear, scratched or gouged wheels, and interior damage.

What is Road Hazard Tire and Wheel Protection?

With Volvo subscription, we repair or replace unlimited tires and wheels damaged by road hazards, which include debris on the road or road conditions such as potholes. This coverage is included for the principal 24-month term or the first 30,000 miles from starting mileage listed in the lease contract, whichever comes first.

What about taxes and registration fees?

Taxes and registration fees vary by state and are not included in the subscription price shown online. Your monthly payment including taxes and fees will be summarized to you before processing your order.
Based on your state of residence, the registration fee might need to be paid separately. You may also be required to pay the annual registration fee and an excise and/or personal property tax assessment which will not be included in your monthly payment.

Can I purchase additional mileage with Volvo subscription?

The Volvo subscription includes an allotment of 1,250 miles per month.  Unfortunately, we do not offer additional mileage to be purchased with Volvo subscription at this time.  If you exceed the 1,250 mile-per-month allotment, you will be charged an additional $0.25 per mile when you return your Volvo.

Where is Volvo subscription offered?

Volvo subscription is available for residents in US states excluding ND, SD, NC, HI, and MS. Volvo subscriptions cannot be sold by retailers located in the states of Virginia or Florida but subscriptions can be registered and insured in those states. For New York and California residents only, an alternate subscription offer, not including insurance, is offered through retailers in those states.

Who can subscribe?

Volvo subscriptions are intended for individual and family use, not for business use. The use of a subscription for ride shares, delivery services, or similar activities is prohibited.

Can I cancel my subscription early?

Should you be in good standing with Volvo Car Financial Services, you can leverage the Early Termination Cancellation Option any time after 12 months in the lease term and 12 payments have been made to VCFS. To have your remaining payments waived, you’ll have to enter a new contract with VCFS at the time of cancellation (lease, subscription, or financing of a new or CPO vehicle). Please be aware that at vehicle return you will receive a final bill for any excess mileage above your 1,250 mile/month allowance and excessive wear per the vehicle condition report above the $1,000 waiver.  Please reference your Volvo subscription Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement for complete details.

Can I switch my Volvo vehicle to another model prior to the end of the 24-month term?

Volvo subscription is a flexible program. If you meet the requirements to utilize the early termination cancellation option, it is easy to return your vehicle and re-apply for a new vehicle. You can begin your journey online, contact Volvo subscription Concierge, or visit your local retailer request a new subscription.

Can I take my vehicle outside of the United States?

Yes, you can drive your vehicle in Canada for 30 days or less at a time. You may not operate your subscription vehicle in Mexico or any other country.

What happens if I move to another state?

Notify Volvo Car Financial Services customer care immediately by calling 866-499-6793.
To obtain new insurance cards (where applicable) and required documentation for you to re-register the vehicle at your local DMV office, please contact Volvo subscription Concierge at 800-550-5658 and select option 1.
Unfortunately, we are not able to provide insurance coverage in states where insurance is not included in the offer†. If you are planning to move to one of those states and are a legacy Care by Volvo subscriber, please be prepared to either arrange for your own personal insurance policy or you can utilize the Early Termination: Cancellation Option, if you are eligible, listed in your Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement.
If you are a Volvo subscription customer, the language in your Volvo subscription Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement shall apply and prevail.

What happens in the event of a breakdown?

With your new Volvo subscription, you receive complimentary roadside assistance, with support available 24/7. Towing is available within 100 miles of the nearest Volvo retailer.

What happens at the end of my subscription period?

At the end of your subscription period, you will need to return the vehicle to an authorized Volvo retailer. You will receive a final bill for any excess mileage above your 1,250 miles/month allowance and excessive wear per the vehicle condition report above the $1,000 waiver.
Additionally, a disposition (turn-in) fee of $450 is applicable unless you decide to sign a new contract to subscribe, lease or finance a new Volvo car through Volvo Car Financial Services at that time.
