Porsche’s car subscription lets you drive a different model every day

Owning a Porsche is frequently a delight but for many people, a better option is to subscribe to a Porsche. Yup, that’s an option these days with Porsche offering a single-vehicle subscription and a multi-vehicle subscription so you can enjoy all the benefits of the Porsche of your dream and drive it for an entire month before handing it back. If you want to extend the subscription, you can always do that. It means no need to worry about the hassle of car ownership or the nuisance that comes from car maintenance, with all the advantages that come from owning a Porsche for a month or more. If this sounds intriguing to you, we’re here to break it all down further so you can see why a Porsche subscription is suitable for you.

How much does a Porsche subscription cost?

Porsche offers some clearly laid out pricing plans for a Porsche subscription. It costs from $1,800 per month plus tax. For that price, you get access to a Porsche Macan for the full month. Other cars cost more such as the latest Porsche Cayenne which is from $2,400 per month. If you want the iconic Porsche 911 which defined the Porsche brand, expect to pay from $3,400 per month. It’s also possible to rent cars on a day-by-day basis if you prefer but it works out better to commit to a month-long plan where possible.

Another option is to sign up for a multi-vehicle subscription. This costs $4,000 per month plus tax. The key benefit here is that you can switch vehicles as often as you like throughout the month. That way, you can choose to use the Cayenne for a weekend getaway for when you need to load the car up with plenty of things, before switching over to the 911 for a fun drive or special occasion with its fast acceleration and vast horsepower. There’s always the Taycan or Panamera if you just want a fun commute for a few days that month too. Time spent with the Taycan can show off the advantages of owning an electric Porsche while the Panamera is perfect for hybrid lovers.

Flexibility is the main selling point here. The multi-vehicle subscription is perfect if you simply can’t make up your mind or if you’re planning ahead and want to buy a Porsche further down the line, and you’re not sure which one yet. There’s no limit on how many times you switch throughout the month so you could easily drive a different car every day if you want.

What’s included with a Porsche subscription?

Whichever Porsche subscription you sign up for, you get insurance, roadside assistance, and vehicle maintenance included as standard. That’s huge peace of mind, saving you from needing to set anything up for yourself. As well as that, there’s concierge service, along with complimentary delivery and pick-up for subscriptions within 20 miles of the participating authorized Porsche dealership. Eligible areas cover many states including Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas, with multiple locations within each state.

The single-vehicle subscription allows you to drive up to 1,500 miles per month, while the multi-vehicle subscription increases that number to 2,000 so there’s a little more flexibility here if you plan on traveling a lot.

How hassle-free is a Porsche subscription?

Incredibly hassle-free. Porsche gets that you have a busy life and you want to focus on enjoying your hard-earned free time rather than deal with excessive paperwork. That’s why it’s so good to see insurance and maintenance covered as part of the plan so you don’t have to go out of the way to get things resolved.

The only thing you need to do is create a Porsche subscription and pick which plan you want. It can all be done through your phone if you don’t want to grab your laptop. From there, you can choose the Porsche you want (or wish to start with) then pick the first day you plan on driving it. Subscription vehicles are delivered to you while rentals require you to pick them up from the Porsche Center of your choice.

What Porsche cars can I drive?

All the latest Porsche models are drivable via the Porsche subscription scheme. That includes the Porsche 718, 911, Taycan, Panamera, Macan, and Cayenne. There’s something for everyone here and with the multi-vehicle subscription, you can try them all out across the space of a month if you want or can’t decide what to settle on. It’s a good method for figuring out what works for you, but also if you simply don’t want to be tied down to one car for a long period such as if you’re just in the country for a little while. You could even simply do it for just one month to see how it works for you and your lifestyle.

2024 Mustang Mach-E GT performance upgrade: Ford’s fast EV love note
2024 Mustang Mach-E GT beats Tesla and Porsche
Blue 2024 Ford Mustand Mach-E GT performance upgrade driving directly at the viewer under a highway overpass.

Spring is in the air, and Ford engineers share their love for the 2024 Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Upgrade. It's not like the Mach-E GT without the upgrade is a sluggard, not with 480 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque on tap. The standard 2024 Mach-E GT is good for 3.8-second trips from zero to 60 mph and scoots a quarter-mile in a hasty 12.8 seconds. Those are impressively short times, but Ford went further with the Mach-E GT Performance Upgrade.
Why Ford's Mustang Mach-E GT performance upgrade matters

Frankly, the Mach-E doesn't look like a scorching hot ride. The FDA categorizes the electric Mustang as an SUV, although to my eyes, it looks like a hatchback. However, neither vehicle profile pleased Mustang loyalists who insisted Mustangs should look like muscle cars and get their power from internal combustion engines (ICEs).

Bugatti Bolide: A track-only hypercar for drivers with no racing experience
The Bolide isn't a race-inspired road car, it's a street-inspired race car

Imagine a car for drivers with no track experience that accelerates past 200 mph faster than a Formula 1 race car. Expensive and not allowed on public roads, the Bugatti Bolide is the ultimate fantasy car. The Bolide doesn't appear to be the V16-powered hypercar in development that Bugatti teased earlier this year because it will build on the brand's proven 1,600 metric horsepower 8.0-liter W16 turbocharged engine.
Also, despite having antilock braking system (ABS) brakes, electronic stability programming (ESP), and road-car niceties not typically found on race cars, the Bolide won't have a future street-legal incarnation. According to Bugatti, "... the Bolide represents a departure from the norm, a shift towards a completely different realm of driving that Bugatti hasn't yet explored in its modern-day history."

That statement begs a look at the company's earlier history when, 100 years ago, it designed and engineered the Bugatti Type 35 solely for track performance.

Camper van vs Class B RV: How to choose which to buy for your outdoor adventures
Class B RV vs Camper Van - who ya got?
Man building a campfire in front of a Winnebago Ekko Springer camper van.

If you would love to go on road trips and experience the best national parks, there is no better way to do it and still feel comfortable like you’re at home than camping in an RV. Let’s be honest: You will enjoy sleeping on a cozy bed in an RV with an air conditioner more than in a moist and chilly tent. It’s also easier to prepare your meals in an RV because of the refrigerator, and you don’t have to worry about packing and unpacking your camping bags every night or morning. 

However, the big RVs can be a headache if you're driving through low-hanging bridges or tight spaces. They’re also more expensive to fuel and maintain compared to smaller-size vehicles. Alternatively, you could choose a Class B RV or a camper van if prefer an RV that strikes a balance between rural camping and big-city adventure. But the question is — what’s the difference between a Class B RV and a camper van? And which one should you buy?
