Living with the 600

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent the 600 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the 600 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the 600 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Picking a year and a trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

Money matters

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Questions first?

Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.

Rent it for a week before you buy
