Volkswagen Group of America said today that with Volkswagen Financial Services (Volkswagen Credit Inc.) it’s starting a vehicle subscription service for Volkswagen vehicles in the Atlanta metro area. This all-new, month-to-month subscription service for some Volkswagen models bundles maintenance, insurance, and 24/7 roadside assistance into a single monthly payment. It’s branded VW Flex. Beginning today 30 October, Atlanta-area consumers will be able to start their vehicle subscription memberships, selecting from Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport, Tiguan, Golf GTI and Jetta models.
“We’re thrilled our customers have a new mobility option through this partnership with Volkswagen Financial Services,” said Andrew Savvas, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for Volkswagen North American Region.
“This subscription service brings our brand to a whole new segment of consumers who are looking for a simple and flexible mobility option, as well as those who want an easy way to experience the Volkswagen brand for themselves,” said Savvas.
VW Flex debuts with true month-to-month terms, with a minimum commitment of just one month. Additionally, all maintenance is performed at authorized Volkswagen dealerships by Volkswagen-Certified Technicians, using OEM parts and processes.
Through the entire digital application process, prospective VW Flex members will enjoy an easy path which can be completed on a desktop or mobile device; no app needed. And because VW Flex is not a vehicle financing or lease offering, the application process is simpler.
Members reserve their vehicle of choice online, and then can either pick up directly from a participating dealership or opt for delivery within the designated area of metro Atlanta (subject to a fee).Partnering dealers include Jim Ellis Volkswagen of Chamblee in Atlanta, and Jim Ellis Volkswagen Kennesaw in Kennesaw, GA.
“By partnering with Volkswagen Group of America to introduce a new vehicle subscription model that offers customers a flexible mobility option, we’re able to accelerate our mission to be the key to mobility for consumers,” said Tina Unterlaender, Senior Director of Product Management & Innovation, Volkswagen Financial Services. “This innovative service reflects our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of modern consumers, providing them with unparalleled convenience, choice and value.”

Above all, decades after he first drove a car, Zino still revels in the sound of the exhaust as the throttle is blipped and the driver’s rush that occurs when the entry, apex and exit points of a turn are smoothly and swiftly crossed. It’s the beginning of a perfect lap.
