Its bonkers for me, but if you look at AF as an example (just because of his post w/ a6 lease details in the silver car thread). He likes to roll through new cars, has no issue with a $8xx/month lease on an a6 and enjoys trying a variety of car types. I would assume his insurance is something in the neighborhood of mine ~$100 month (USAA on the x5 w/ 2 teen drivers) so he's close to $1k / month for a car he's going to have for 2 years and turn in. Is it worth another $1k a month to have a concierge drop off the car of your choice whenever/wherever? Maybe (not for me). Would it save him from having to have an SUV (or similar truck style vehicle) for the few times he needs 7 seats? Maybe.
Regardless, the idea is interesting. It would be fun to have full access to an M2, a 540, an X5 a 440 'vert with no concern for ownership headaches. The same pricing applies to the Porsche Passport plan: The $2000 plan offers access to the 718 Cayman, the 718 Boxster, and the Macan (including S versions), as well as the base Cayenne. The $3000-per-month plan adds the 911 Carrera coupe and cabriolet (in base, S, and 4S trims), the Panamera (base, 4, S, 4S, and 4 E-Hybrid), the Macan GTS, and the Cayenne S, S E-Hybrid, and GTS, for a total of 22 models.
Looking at the Volvo one, it looks like an open ended (one year minimum) lease with insurance included, not a car swapping service. You pick your V60 or XC40 and keep it for at least a year.
