As an expat, can I take out a car subscription?

Yes, you can! However, you will need a valid driving license recognized in the Netherlands and a Dutch residential address. If you’re planning to move in the future, please contact us, and we will help you find a suitable solution.

What is all included in the subscription?

Your KINTO Flex subscription includes all-risk insurance, maintenance, tax, roadside assistance in almost all of Europe, and your chosen number of kilometres per month.

I want to buy a house, is KINTO Flex a good idea?

Absolutely! If you’re planning to buy a house, KINTO Flex is a smart choice. Our car subscription is not registered with the BKR, so it will not impact your mortgage application.

I need a temporary car, can you offer this?

KINTO Flex is the ideal solution for those needing a car for a limited period. We offer short minimum terms of 3, 6, or 9 months. After this period, you have the flexibility to cancel on a month-to-month basis or continue driving for as long as you need.

Are all the cars you offer automatic?

Almost all our cars come with automatic transmission, with a few exceptions clearly specified otherwise. All vehicles are equipped with standard air conditioning and support Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Explore detailed specifications for each model.

Are electric car subscriptions available?

Currently, we do not offer fully electric models in our range, but this may change soon. Do you have a preference? Be sure to let us know!

Can I choose what kind of tyres I want?

Your car comes equipped with factory tyres (summer tyres) as standard. During the configuration of your subscription, you have the option to upgrade to all-season tyres if desired.

What are the options with a KINTO Flex subscription?

With KINTO Flex, you can choose the duration and monthly mileage that best suits your needs. For the contract duration, you can select from 3, 6, or 9 months, and after the minimum term, you have the flexibility to continue driving as long as you wish. Additionally, you can choose for mileage packages of either 1,000 or 1,500 kilometers per month.

We require a one-month notice period for cancellation. Therefore, if you intend to return the car after the minimum term, such as six months, please inform us by the end of the fifth month.

Can I customize my vehicle as desired?

You cannot fully customize your car. All our cars come well-equipped as standard with key features such as air conditioning, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a rearview camera.

We offer a range of cars in different colors. When scheduling an appointment, we can discuss the available colors and go over your preferences, but we cannot guarantee specific colors.

How does the subscription process work?

The subscription process with KINTO Flex is simple. First, select your car, determine the minimum term, and choose your mileage bundle. Then, decide on any additional options and place your order for the KINTO car subscription.

What is the contract duration?

We offer minimum terms of 3, 6, or 9 months. Once this term is over, you can cancel month-to-month or continue driving for as long as you like.

Can I cancel KINTO monthly?

Yes, your KINTO Flex subscription can be canceled month-to-month once the minimum term has expired.

Is there a maximum number of kilometres that can be driven per month?

No, there is no maximum limit on the kilometres you can drive. When you subscribe to a car with us, we offer two different mileage bundles: 1,000 or 1,500 km per month. If you exceed your chosen bundle, you will be charged an additional amount per extra kilometre driven.

I want to cancel my subscription. How do I do that?

If you want to cancel after your minimum contract period has expired, you can use the cancellation function in the KINTO app. Simply choose the date you want to end your subscription, and we will contact you to finalize the process.

Can my partner and children also ride in the car?

Yes, your partner and children can ride in the car as long as they live at the same address and hold a valid driving license. However, if friends or other family members want to drive the car, you must always be present in the vehicle.

Can I transfer unused kilometres to the following months?

Yes, you can transfer unused kilometres from your monthly bundle to the following months during your subscription. At the end of your subscription, we calculate the total number of kilometres driven. This feature is useful for holidays or additional family visits across the Netherlands, for example.

Will the subscription automatically renew?

With KINTO Flex, after your minimum term, the subscription continues until you cancel, with just one month’s notice. Over time, you may have the option to change vehicles, receiving a similar but newer car.

Do I get a parking permit with a KINTO car?

No, KINTO does not provide a parking permit for the car. You will need to arrange this independently. If you require the license plate number before picking up the car, please contact us, and we will work together to find a solution.

Damage with counterparty

Is there a counterparty involved in the damage? Clear the road, find a safe place, and complete a European claim form together with the other party (a copy can be found in the glove compartment). Then, send a copy or photo of the front and back of the document, along with photos of the damage, via the KINTO app.

It is important to describe as accurately as possible how the damage occurred on the claim form. Attach photos of the damage and the situation, as this can help in determining fault. We will then send the claim form and photos to a claims handler, who will work with the other party’s insurer to decide on the question of liability.

Damage without counterparty

Is there only damage to your vehicle and no third party involved? Can you continue driving? If so, you can easily report this damage to us via the KINTO app.

The car indicates that maintenance is needed. What should I do?

When your car indicates that maintenance is needed, please contact us immediately.

What should I do if a warning light comes on?

If a red warning light appears on the display, it indicates a danger. Depending on the symbol, you should immediately park your vehicle safely and contact us or our roadside assistance service. This can be done easily via the app.

Yellow/orange warning lights indicate that a safety check is required. Contact us for further instructions.

For more information on indicator lights and special warning lights for electric cars, please refer to the instruction booklet in the car.

What should I do in case of damage, such as a scratch or dent?

You should report all damage, whether large or small, to us immediately. Damages that do not prevent you from driving, like scratches or dents, can be reported using the KINTO app. You can upload photos of the damage right away so we can assess its severity and discuss an appropriate solution with you. If you’ve been in an accident and cannot continue driving, please refer to our accidents and damage page for assistance.

How much is the deductible in case of damage?

In case of damage, we apply a deductible of €750. Optionally, you can reduce this to €400.

In what way is the car insured?

Every car is insured comprehensively with us. However, there is an insurance deductible of €750. You have the option to reduce this deductible to €400 if desired.

What should I do in case of emergency or breakdown?

If you find yourself in an emergency or breakdown situation, prioritize your safety and that of others. Move your vehicle to the right-hand shoulder, ideally behind a crash barrier, and put on a safety vest. For further guidance, please refer to our accidents and damage page.

What should I look out for when returning the car?

When you return the car, its condition will be recorded in a report. Timely reporting of damage is required, and you will be liable only up to the amount of your excess. Normal signs of use do not need to be reported. Make sure the car is clean both inside and out to avoid extra cleaning costs.

When returning the car, ensure you return everything that came with it, including keys, registration certificate, service booklet, and accessories. Don’t forget to clear all your digital personal data, such as navigation history and phone connections.

If you discover any unreported damage, report it via the damage form in the app before handing in the car.

Is a deposit required?

Yes, a deposit is required when you take out our car subscription. This deposit must be paid before you pick up the car. The amount of the deposit will be clearly indicated during the configuration of your subscription.

Are road tax, maintenance, and MOT/vehicle inspection included?
