What is RELEASE?

Release is a platform that was born from the experience gained by Consecution over years of service in the long-term rental sector and allows the publication of rental contract assignment announcements and is designed to facilitate B2B turnaround of Long-Term Rental Contracts. Release is an online platform through which users can assign to other users or take over from other users in certain long-term rental contracts. Release does not assign or take over any of the contracts/announcements displayed on the site and is not a party to any transaction between users. Release's goal is to simplify the subrogation process for legal entities and provide an efficient way to transfer long-term rental contracts between interested parties.

Who can use the RELEASE website?

Only users, vat holders based in Italy, registered to the Release platform. A registered user can upload assignment announcements or request takeover.

What kind of vehicles and contracts can be assign on RELEASE?

In order to proceed with the takeover, the rental company must also endorse the request depending on the outcome of the financial and risk analysis performed on the subrecipient to determine whether or not the subrecipient can sustain the monthly lease payment. In the event of financial approval and successful verification of documentation, the subrecipient will be able to take over the contract by activating the rental agreement, on the same terms and conditions as the assignor previously entered into it.
