Benefits of Subscriptions for Dealers
Car subscriptions represent an additional, recurring revenue stream through monthly subscription fees paid by customers. Unlike traditional purchase or lease models, subscriptions provide ongoing monthly income versus a one-time payment.
Subscriptions allow dealers to monetize their inventory in new ways. Rather than relying solely on sales or leases, dealers can generate revenue from subscribers over the life of a vehicle.
Subscriptions improve customer retention and build loyalty by providing flexible access without long-term commitments. Customers can swap vehicles periodically, incentivizing them to remain subscribers.
Dealerships have opportunities to upsell additional services like insurance, maintenance packages and concierge features as part of subscription packages.
Customizable Subscription Packages
Loopit provides a flexible subscription management platform that allows dealerships to offer custom subscription packages tailored to each customer's needs. Dealers can configure packages with customizable terms and options including:
- Length of subscription from 1 month to 24+ months
- Mileage allotments from 0 to unlimited miles per month
- Vehicle makes/models available for selection
- Frequency of vehicle swaps from 1 swap per 3 months to unlimited swaps
The platform also enables add-on features to create a bundle that provides real value to subscribers. Add-ons can include:
- Insurance coverage

With Loopit, dealers have complete flexibility to compose customized subscription packages that align with customer preferences. The customizable options and add-ons help increase satisfaction through a personalized car subscription experience.
Best Practices for Structuring Subscription Packages
When creating customizable subscription packages on Loopit's platform, dealerships should follow some best practices for structuring pricing and features. This helps maximize revenue while providing flexibility and value for customers.
The core components of a subscription package include:
- Base monthly fee - This covers the use of the vehicle itself. Tiers can be created based on vehicle class or model.
- Mileage allowance - Most packages include a set number of miles per month or year. Overage fees can apply if the limit is exceeded.
- Length of term - Typical terms are 1-3 months minimum with options to renew, often on a month-to-month basis.
- Vehicle swaps - Swap frequency allows customers to change vehicles within their tier, such as once per 3 months.
- Bundled features - Maintenance plans and insurance can be built into the base fee.
According to Deloitte, the average monthly subscription fee ranges from $400-1,200 depending on the vehicle tier. Dealers should take into account vehicle cost, program costs, profit margin, and market rates when pricing packages.
Allowing add-ons for additional mileage, maintenance plans, insurance, and concierge services can increase revenue. Renewal options provide flexibility for customers while securing ongoing subscription revenue.
