TORONTO, Nov. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Porsche continues to expand its mobility offerings within the Porsche Drive program by including the option for single-vehicle subscriptions (SVS). Starting November 6, 2020, members within the GTA will have access to a single Porsche model for a 30 or 90-day period. For those who choose a 90-day subscription, the sign-up fee (regularly $750) will be waived.
"Expanding into new territories based on what our Canadian customers needs are is all part of our global strategy to continuously adapt while always remaining customer-centric," states Marc Ouayoun, President & CEO of Porsche Cars Canada, Ltd. "With evolutions and advancements in technology and the changing consumer behaviours, the inclusion of a single-vehicle subscription offers flexibility in accessing a Porsche."
Subscription pricing ranges from $2,500 to $4,400 for a 30-day period depending on the model selected. The Drive program includes a deep cleaning and sanitization process of vehicles between users and observes social distancing at delivery and pick-up. Customer and staff safety is of the highest priority.
About Porsche Drive Multi-Vehicle Subscription
Formerly Porsche Passport, Porsche Drive launched in Toronto in late 2019 offering members flexible enjoyment of a monthly subscription plan that features unlimited swaps from the entire model line-up. Vehicles are ordered through the touch of an app and then delivered and returned by a concierge anywhere within the servicing area. In Canada, two monthly plans are available to choose from: "Launch", a single monthly payment of $3,200 which includes a selection from the 718, Macan, and Cayenne model variants and "Accelerate", a single monthly payment of $4,200 which adds 911 and Panamera to the menu offering.
