Step 1 – Subscribe

Forget about huge deposits and complicated insurance quotes. With Step 1 Cars, you simply sign up, choose your car, and pay a single monthly subscription. Your plan includes insurance, servicing, warranty, and breakdown cover — everything you need to get started on the road, without the stress.

Step 2 – Drive

Enjoy the freedom of driving your own safe, reliable car. Every vehicle in our fleet is handpicked for young drivers and backed by warranty and full breakdown cover. Parents can relax knowing costs are predictable, and young drivers can focus on building independence and confidence behind the wheel.

Step 3 – Upgrade or Buy

After 24 months, you’re in control. You can upgrade to a newer car, continue your subscription, or purchase your current car at fair market value. Step 1 Cars makes the transition from “first car” to long-term driving simple, flexible, and affordable.
