VW tests car-subscription water with Drover partnership in the UK

Right now, a trip to Drover's VW subscription site reveals a wide variety of Golf, Passat and Tiguan variants on offer, including diesels and estate cars (station wagons). A Golf can be secured from £528 (about $700) per month, while Passats start around £514 (about $675) and Tiguans start around £643 (about $850) per month.

That might sound high, but like other subscription services, the only thing an owner will need to pay for is gas. VW's monthly subscription price includes taxes, annual safety tests, service, maintenance and breakdown coverage. But even the fuel isn't offered at full price, with the site also claiming that owners get a 5-pence (about 6 cents) discount on each liter of gas or diesel, as well.
