Rejected for a lease because you’re an expat? Here’s your way forward.
Birne by Direct is a Czech mobility startup that gets you behind the wheel quickly—even if traditional leasing said no. Instead of a lease, you subscribe to a car: a fixed monthly fee paid in advance that includes the car, mandatory + collision insurance, servicing, assistance and worry-free damage coverage. No Czech credit history required. No piles of paperwork. Human support in your language.
Why expats choose Birne
- Approval without Czech credit history – we charge upfront, so we don’t box you into rigid scoring.
- Fast handover – cars typically ready within ~3 business days.
- True flexibility – keep it for 2 months or 2 years, extend, return, or switch models anytime.
- Everything included – insurance, servicing, assistance, worry-free damage coverage in one price.
- Made for expats – English-speaking team and a dedicated expat contact.
