Fast fashion is an industry that contributes to overconsumption and a throwaway culture. This not only creates social problems, such as worrying working conditions in the pro-duction phase. The excessive consumption of textiles and fashion in particular also contributes significantly to environmental concerns. One possible countermeasure to this trend is access-based consumption. Here, items of clothing are rented out for use for a certain period of time, increasing the utility rate and lifespan of the clothing compared to clothing owned by consumers. This conserves resources, reduces waste, and reduces emissions. Purpose: This study examines the influence of consumer values and consumer perceived readiness on consumers’ use intentions regarding access-based consumption. Furthermore, attitude and subjective norm are included in the analysis. This adds significant insights to the existing literature on the motivations for this consumer behavior. Method: A quantitative research approach was chosen for this study. An online questionnaire was used to collect the needed data. After the data cleaning process was completed, a total of 366 questionnaires could be used for the analysis. Multiple linear regression was used to test the impact. Conclusion: The results of the study show that consumer values have an impact on attitude and subjective norm. Attitude, in turn, has an influence on consumer perceived readiness and use in-tention. The influence of subjective norm on the intention to use these services was also con-firmed. An influence of subjective norm on consumer perceived readiness and of readiness on use intention could not be confirmed.
