The offer of CARIFY is designed to fit the needs of expats perfectly:

• Convenience: We handle maintenance and more. No need to speak to a garage, insurance companies or the tax office!

• Multilingual support: Count on us for assistance anytime and anywhere in English, German, French or Italian. 

• Sustainability: While the majority of subscription providers rely on brand-new cars produced exclusively for subscribers, we work closely with automotive garages that make their existing vehicles available for our service. This way, we give existing high-quality cars a second chance while simultaneously reducing the need to manufacture new vehicles. Additionally, we also offer new cars to provide a wide range of mobility solutions.

Who is eligible to book a CARIFY car?

To reserve a CARIFY vehicle, you must meet certain eligibility criteria. Here's what you need:

• Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years old to book a CARIFY car.

• Valid Swiss Driver's License: You should possess a valid driver's license that is recognized in Switzerland or Liechtenstein. If you've been a resident of Switzerland or Liechtenstein for more than a year, it's important to consider exchanging your foreign driver's license for a Swiss one for legal compliance.

• Residency Status: CARIFY is designed for residents of Switzerland and Liechtenstein. You need to be a resident and cannot book a car on a tourist visa. Merely owning property in Switzerland or Liechtenstein, such as a holiday home, or being a Swiss national, does not automatically qualify you for booking a CARIFY vehicle.

We appreciate your understanding of these requirements as they help us maintain a high standard of service and ensure the safety and legality of our car subscription offerings. If you have any questions or need assistance with your eligibility, please don't hesitate to contact our support team for further guidance.
