Daihatsu Commences Full-Scale Launch of Used Car Subscription Service Tsukinori - Offering an easy-to-use service with a fixed monthly fee in response to the diversification of car ownership patterns -

Jul. 15, 2025
DAIHATSU MOTOR CO., LTD.

Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Daihatsu”) will commence the full-scale launch of Tsukinori, a subscription service that allows customers to use Daihatsu-certified used vehicles for a fixed monthly fee. In addition to two sales companies that have already commenced the service, the service will be available at 12 new sales companies starting today. It will be expanded to 13 more sales companies by the end of 2025, for a total of 27 sales companies, and Daihatsu aims to gradually expand the service in the future.

In recent years, the ways in which customers use cars has become more diverse, with new patterns of use such as leasing and sharing becoming increasingly common in addition to purchasing new and used cars. In response to this trend, Daihatsu has developed Wonderful Credit, a residual value credit service that can be used on an annual basis, and TOYOTA SHARE Daihatsu Stations, a car-sharing service that rents cars on a daily (hourly) basis. Falling between the two, Tsukinori is a service that can be used on a monthly basis, making it easy to use as a means of transportation for a set period of time depending on changes in the user’s living environment or purpose for using the car, or as a trial before purchasing a car.

Tsukinori allows customers to select a vehicle of their choice from an extensive lineup of Daihatsu-certified used vehicles for a period of time that suits their convenience, from a minimum of one month to a maximum of 11 months. The monthly fee starts at 25,000 yen (tax included), including voluntary insurance and maintenance fees. In addition, applications can be made online or via postal mail, and payment is made by credit card. Thus, with the exception of a visit to the store at the start of the service, no store visits are required to complete the application.

Together with its sales companies nationwide, Daihatsu will continue to stay close to customers and propose services that make it easy for them to get around in cars, aiming to realize a mobility society that enriches the lives of customers.
