DRD4株式会社

DRD4株式会社 (DRD4 inc.) is a Tokyo-based company founded in May 2022 that develops and operates Enkilo (エンキロ), a distance-based personal car lease service, and works on digitalization of car sales and auto/mobility finance. Enkilo customers lease a vehicle and pay a fixed monthly base fee plus a per-kilometer distance charge, so total monthly cost varies with actual driving. The company positions the model against conventional car leases, which it says typically assume 1,000–1,500 km of driving per month, versus a Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association figure of roughly 345–370 km average monthly driving; the base fee is calculated from the residual value assuming minimal driving during the lease term, with kilometers billed monthly on top.

The lineup covers new domestic vehicles (all Japanese makers including Lexus) and imported models, plus more than 300 used cars; examples on the site range from a Suzuki Jimny at ¥7,350/month base and ¥21/km to a Nissan Elgrand at ¥30,690/month base and ¥34/km. Three plans are offered: Standard (base fee plus distance charge), Economy (lower base fee, higher per-km rate) and a fixed 500 km plan. Automobile tax, weight tax, compulsory insurance and registration fees are included in all plans; light and full maintenance packs, inspection coverage available at 15,000 locations nationwide, and a lease insurance product covering early-termination penalties after accident or theft are optional add-ons. Monthly mileage is measured by a communication device fitted to the vehicle that collects GPS data, which is matched and corrected against server-side map data.

Beyond the lease service, DRD4 runs an owned media property covering cars and car costs (キロログ / "クルマとおカネのマガジン") and lists car commerce and used-car sales among its business lines. Registered capital is reported at ¥100 million on the corporate site, while press releases cite ¥239,999,925 including capital reserve. The company holds an invoice-issuer registration and a Privacy Mark registration.
