As a transition enabler, Spuerkeess plans to contribute to the national target of electrifying 49% of Luxembourg’s car fleet by 2030. Thus, since 2018, the Bank has included electric vehicles in its Lease Plus offer, and these now account for 80% of the leases taken out by the Bank's customers. This very strong interest in electric cars is partly due to the desire to "consume better and more sustainably", but is also due to our attractive Lease Plus offers. Emir Mustafic, Business Developer - Private Lease at Spuerkeess, gives us the criteria to be taken into account when buying or leasing an electric vehicle.

While the Autofestival is being prepared in the various car dealerships and garages in Luxembourg, Sophie and Marc are asking themselves 1001 questions!

Your child is about to turn 18 - it’s hard to believe he is an adult now! It seems like just yesterday that you held him in your arms for the first time, but that already was 18 years ago. Time really does fly! The only thing that matters for him at the moment is to pass his driving licence and buy his first car.

In case you haven't noticed, it's cold outside! Out with the summer jackets and in with the scarves and overcoats! This is also usually the time when people start cranking up the heating at home. At Marc and Sophie’s house, however, their old boiler no longer works properly and is far from economical. As a result, Sophie has to wear her fleece around the house, and Marc tears his hair out each time he receives the heating bill.

Here are a few important points to keep in mind when deciding on your purchase.

Ever since she first became a mum, Sophie has loved Mother’s Day. She always looks forward to the day, wondering what Lily will have made for her at nursery. Then the big day arrives, and her special little girl presents her with a multi-coloured object, with a huge smile on her face, shouting impatiently, “It’s for you, Mum, open it! ”. What will Mother's Day have in store for her this year?

During the recent Easter holidays, Sophie and Marc chose to travel by train and electric car, taking advantage of the Avis benefit on their Visa Premier card for car rental. Sophie, Marc and their daughter Lily explored Denmark and Sweden for almost two weeks.

When Shauna and her husband moved into their flat in Bonnevoie, they didn’t have children and swore by public transport. But as their family has grown, they now definitely prefer travelling by car. When Shauna learned that she was expecting twins, it was a wonderful surprise. But with not one but two children running around, how would she and her husband manage to get them ready every morning and take them to nursery without then missing their bus to work? Shauna and her husband quickly decided it was time for them to invest in a car to make their lives easier.

For Sophie and Marc, 2021 wasn’t exactly a typical year. The COVID-19 health crisis caused them to change their habits and made them more sensitive to environmental issues and their consumer behaviour. Last summer they bought electric bikes to get around in a more eco-friendly way, but during the winter they realised that some trips are much easier for them by car. That’s why their new year’s resolution for 2022 is to replace their family car with a more sustainable vehicle that's better for the environment.

The difference between owning and leasing a car is solely based on the means to achieve one same goal: to get you your dream car!

Sophie saw it as an opportunity to combine gardening, trips and lounging around, but when Marc announced that they would visit the north of the country by bicycle, she was no longer sure she wanted to follow him.
