It鈥檚 always fun to get back to our roots and enjoy the raw beauty of nature. In order to find some of the most beautiful places out in the wilderness, you have to travel off the beaten path, and oftentimes over rough terrain. It is all worth it in the end, once you reach your special place, but having a 2016 Mercedes-Benz G550 with its updated engine capabilities helps you get there quicker in comfort and style. The 2016 edition of the Mercedes-Benz G550 has been updated to harbor a 4.0 biturbo V8. While the new engine鈥檚 size has diminished from the 5.5-liter V8 engine housed in the 2015 model, don鈥檛 let it fool you! The larger engine from 2015 could only attain 382 horsepower, while the new and smaller one in the 2016 edition is capable of 416 horsepower thanks to the biturbo technology. With this kind of power, you can tow up to 7000 pounds in the 2016 G550! Check Out Current G550 Inventory! Working in tandem with the updated engine is a 7-speed automatic transmission, which will allow you to enjoy a smooth drive on a variety of terrain. Speaking of different terrains, especially for rough off-roading adventures, the 2016 G550 comes standard with 3 lockable differentials to assist in the balancing of traction and torque for the utility vehicle on steep, rough, and slick road conditions. The 2016 G550 was designed to handle steep inclines thanks to its suspension and 4-wheel Electronic Traction System. For a front incline, the 2016 G550 can handle a maximum 36 degrees. Not only can the vehicle easily climb forward, it can take on a 28 degree side incline, which is perfect for narrow roads and you need to drive through the ditch.

This, plus its week-to-week pricing, offers a ton of flexibility which might be cool for someone who only needs to travel occasionally. Like with other subscription services, routine maintenance is included, as is insurance. But as with Canvas, you're not getting a new car. Model years range from 2014 to 2017 and costs aren't superlow either. 876 for four weeks. Flexdrive is currently available in select parts of Georgia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas. Less is a Bay Area-only service that functions much like a traditional lease with the exception that you're allowed to change your car once per year during your three-year contract. 399 annual membership fee, which is, incidentally, the only money you pay to Less directly. Your monthly payment goes to the dealership from which you get your car. Your choice of cars is pretty decent in terms of quality if not variety, with around 12 options at any given time.

60,000, and negotiates rates in bulk that allow for the discount that it passes on to the customer. 0.25 per mile after that. Maintenance is provided by the manufacturer's prepaid maintenance plan, which is included in the negotiated cost of your lease. Drivers will be expected to pay for their own insurance though, so make sure that you're factoring that into the cost. This is a more traditional route to go for those who are fine with extended commitments and those who just want to save a little dough. Borrow is an electric car-only subscription service that will give you an EV for three, six or nine months at a time. Borrow functions more like a rental service since all vehicles remain the property of Borrow. The EVs that it provides to customers are all used and available in the Los Angeles area only. Customers can currently choose from two tiers of electric vehicles, each with different pricing. The lowest-cost tier is the "City" plan. 399 per month for nine months.

The next step up is the "Premium" plan. This gives users access to either a BMW i3 or a Volkswagen eGolf. 524 per month for nine months. There is a third "Platinum" tier planned that offers a Tesla Model S, but this isn't yet available to subscribers. Insurance is not included with the monthly subscription fee but Borrow says that it can assist with finding insurance and bundle it with your monthly payment. Maintenance and roadside assistance are both included. Borrow is the most lifestyle-focused of the third-party options with its promises of swag bags, new products, event and restaurant discounts. One of America's biggest car rental firms -- Hertz --is getting into the subscription plan game with its My Car pilot program in Austin, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia. 1,399. The cheaper Tier 1 program gives users access to full-size sedans, small SUVs and small trucks, which would include the Nissan Altima, the Toyota Tacoma and the Volkswagen Tiguan.

The pricier Tier 2 gives access to the Tier 1 stuff plus larger SUVs like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Infiniti QX60, full-size trucks like the Ford F-150 and luxury sedans like the Cadillac CTS. Maybe, if you need to pile miles on a company car but your business doesn't want to buy or lease. Fair is another leaselike program with the benefit of being almost totally online. Users have to download the Fair app and scan their driver's license to get approval. Fair then runs a soft check on their credit to determine the maximum payment that they'd qualify for and shows a collection of vehicles in their area that they can afford. Again, where it differs from a lease is that the user isn't locked into a set-length contract. Fair offers customers the option to trade up or return vehicles. Another key difference is that unlike other subscriptions, Fair asks that you make a "Start Payment" which is higher than your typical monthly payment and is linked to the overall value of the car.
