What is a car subscription and how is it different from a hire car or car loan.
How often can you change your car when you're on a car subscription?
Why a car subscription is particularly suitable for someone who is moving to Australia (or for relatives coming out to visit for a few weeks)
What fees you need to budget with a car subscription.
How cars are so different in Australia and how this allows you to try before you buy so you can make sure you aren't rushing into the wrong decision (like Karen did!).
