As a rule, a valid ID, current proof of income and further information on creditworthiness are required. The exact requirements may vary depending on the leasing company.

A down payment is not mandatory. Many leasing contracts can also be concluded without a down payment. However, a higher down payment can often reduce the monthly leasing instalments.

At the end of the leasing contract, you return the vehicle. You can then decide on a new vehicle or, depending on the leasing model, review further options.

Early termination of the contract is generally possible, but may incur additional costs. We will be happy to advise you on the various options and conditions.

When the contract is concluded, an annual mileage is agreed. This is tailored to your driving behaviour. Excess or shortfall kilometres are settled at the end of the contract in accordance with the leasing conditions.

This depends on the leasing model you choose. If desired, service, maintenance or other additional services can be integrated into the monthly instalment.

In addition, depending on the vehicle fleet, further benefits may arise in the area of CO₂ compensation and sustainable mobility.

Electric commercial vehicles offer low operating costs, lower maintenance costs and locally emission-free driving. Especially with daily trips in the regional area of use, companies can significantly reduce their operating costs and at the same time travel more sustainably.

For many companies, yes. Most commercial vehicles cover significantly fewer kilometres per day than modern electric commercial vehicles can handle with ease. We will be happy to analyse your driving profile and recommend the right vehicle.

At fast-charging stations, many vehicles can be recharged within a short time. Overnight, charging is usually conveniently done at the company site or at home via a wallbox.

Yes. Many companies install their own charging stations or wallboxes on their premises. This allows the vehicles to be charged outside working hours and ready for use again in the morning.

Yes. Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than vehicles with combustion engines. Oil changes, clutch, exhaust systems and numerous other wear parts are eliminated, which often results in lower maintenance and service costs.

Operating costs are often significantly lower than for comparable diesel or petrol vehicles. In particular, energy costs per kilometre are often much lower.

Modern electric commercial vehicles offer high payloads and load volumes depending on the model, which are more than sufficient for many commercial applications. We will be happy to advise you on the different vehicle variants.

For many drivers, an electric car is already worth it today. Thanks to low electricity costs, less maintenance and attractive operating costs, electric vehicles can offer significant cost advantages compared to comparable combustion vehicles. Commuters and frequent drivers in particular benefit from the low energy costs. In addition, the public charging network in Switzerland is continually growing, making electric cars increasingly suitable for everyday use.

The range of an electric car depends on the vehicle model, battery capacity, driving style and weather conditions. Modern electric vehicles today achieve ranges of over 300 to 600 kilometres according to WLTP, depending on the model. For most drivers, this is more than enough for everyday use as well as longer trips.

Charging time depends on battery size and charging power. At a fast-charging station, many modern electric cars can be charged to 80 percent within 20 to 40 minutes. With a wallbox at home, a full charge usually takes between 4 and 10 hours, depending on the vehicle.

Yes. Most electric car owners conveniently charge their vehicle at home. A wallbox is particularly convenient, as it charges much faster and more safely than a conventional household socket. We will also be happy to advise you on the right charging solution for your home.

In many cases, yes. Electric cars have significantly fewer moving parts than vehicles with combustion engines. Oil changes, clutch or many classic wear parts are eliminated. This means maintenance and service costs are often lower than for conventional vehicles.

Modern high-voltage batteries are designed for a long service life. Many manufacturers offer warranties of up to 8 years or 160,000 kilometres on the battery. In practice, many batteries achieve significantly higher mileages and retain a large part of their original capacity over many years.

Costs depend on the electricity tariff and the type of charging. Charging at home is usually the cheapest option. Compared to petrol or diesel, energy costs per kilometre are often significantly lower. Public fast-charging stations are a bit more expensive, but offer maximum flexibility on longer journeys.

Yes. Modern electric vehicles have long ranges and can be charged at a steadily growing network of fast-charging stations. For most long-distance journeys, a few short charging stops are enough, and they can be easily combined with a break or a restaurant visit.

An electric car is powered exclusively by an electric motor and drives locally emission-free. Hybrid vehicles combine an electric motor and a combustion engine. Plug-in hybrids can also be charged externally and cover short distances purely electrically.

Electric cars impress with low operating costs, high energy efficiency, quiet driving and direct acceleration. In addition, there are no local CO₂ emissions while driving. Many drivers particularly appreciate the high level of driving comfort and modern technology.

Yes. At ah Auto AG, we offer attractive leasing and financing options for electric cars. We will be happy to prepare an individual offer tailored to your needs and budget.

Our range includes modern electric vehicles from various manufacturers – from compact city cars and family cars to electric commercial vehicles. Discover our current electric cars or contact us for personal advice.

Regular maintenance helps ensure the safety, reliability and value retention of your vehicle in the long term. It also allows potential defects to be detected early and expensive consequential damage to be avoided.

The recommended service intervals depend on the vehicle manufacturer, model, age and mileage. Modern vehicles often have service indicators that show the optimal time for the next maintenance. Regular maintenance contributes significantly to preserving the value and operational safety of your vehicle.

Yes. Our workshop carries out service, maintenance and repair work for numerous vehicle brands. We will be happy to advise you individually about your vehicle.

Yes. With the help of modern diagnostic systems, we can analyse electronic faults and technical problems quickly and precisely. This allows faults to be rectified efficiently and unnecessary repair costs to be avoided.

During vehicle diagnostics, the vehicle’s electronic systems and control units are read out and checked. This allows sources of faults to be identified quickly and rectified in a targeted manner.

During vehicle diagnostics, the electronic systems, control units and fault memory of your vehicle are read out. This allows technical problems, warning messages or hidden faults to be detected quickly and specifically.

Diagnostics are recommended in particular if there are warning messages in the vehicle, technical problems, loss of power, unusual noises or before major repairs.

The engine warning light can have various causes – from minor sensor faults to technical problems with the engine or exhaust system. Prompt vehicle diagnostics help identify the cause quickly and avoid more serious damage.

Yes. We professionally prepare your vehicle for the motor vehicle inspection (MFK) and, if desired, take care of the complete organisation including pre-check and presentation.

In Switzerland, the motor vehicle inspection (MFK) takes place at regular intervals. The exact timing depends on the age and type of vehicle. As soon as you receive an invitation for the MFK, we will be happy to support you with the preparation and presentation of your vehicle.

During MFK preparation, your vehicle is checked technically and any defects are rectified before the inspection. This increases the chances that your vehicle will pass the inspection without objections.

Costs depend on the condition of the vehicle and the scope of the necessary preparatory work. We will be happy to check your vehicle and provide you with a transparent offer for MFK preparation.

Yes. We offer professional tyre and wheel changes for summer, winter and all-season tyres.

Important criteria are the vehicle history, technical condition, number of previous owners, service history and any warranty offers. When buying from a reputable specialist dealer, you benefit from additional security and transparency.

A young used car refers to vehicles that are usually only a few years old and have comparatively low mileage. They often offer near-new-car quality at a significantly more attractive price.

Used cars are pre-owned vehicles. Demo cars are usually used by the dealer and often have only a few kilometres on the clock. Demo cars also often come with particularly extensive equipment.

Many of our vehicles are accident-free. We will be happy to inform you transparently about the vehicle history and answer any questions about your desired vehicle.

A complete service history is an important indication of regular maintenance and care of the vehicle. It creates transparency and increases security when buying a vehicle.

Maintenance costs depend on the vehicle model, age and engine type. However, used cars often benefit from a significantly lower purchase price and less depreciation.

Yes. We even expressly recommend a test drive so you can see the condition, comfort and driving characteristics of your desired vehicle for yourself.

That depends on your individual needs. If you’re looking for the lowest entry price and attractive value for money, you’ll often choose a used car. If you prefer the latest technology, full manufacturer’s warranty and individual configuration, a new car is usually the better choice.

You benefit from carefully selected vehicles, personalized advice, attractive financing and leasing options, as well as additional warranty solutions through CAR GARANTIE. Our goal is to make your vehicle purchase as transparent, secure, and straightforward as possible.
