For the uninitiated, Renault introduced a subscription plan to allow customers to break away from long-term loan commitment, while offering them greater flexibility without the need to worry about vehicle depreciation.

At the moment, the company offers a choice of either 1-year or 2-year subscription plans.

TCEC is also offering the option of door-to-door delivery of the customer’s new or subscribed vehicle, which will be sanitised prior to the handover.
