What is car leasing, and how does it work?
Car leasing is like renting a car for a set period, usually 2–4 years. You pay a monthly fee to drive a new car without the long term commitment or depreciation risks of buying.
What are the benefits of leasing a car instead of buying one?
Leasing allows you to drive a new car every few years, typically at lower monthly payments than a car loan. You also avoid the hassle of selling the car when you’re ready for a change.
Is delivery and collection included?
We offer free UK mainland delivery to home or work. The finance company will collect the vehicle at the end of the contract, unless you are purchasing the vehicle.
Are there mileage limits on a lease, and what happens if I exceed them?
Yes, lease agreements include a mileage allowance. If you exceed it, there will be an extra charge for each mile over the limit.
What insurance coverage is required for a leased vehicle?
You’ll need to arrange fully comprehensive insurance. This ensures the car is fully covered in case of an accident.
What happens in the event of a breakdown?
All vehicles include at least 12 months breakdown cover from the manufacturer although most manufacturers now offer 3 years cover fee of charge. Within the car or van book pack there will be an emergency number to contact day or night.
What are my options at the end of the contract?
Your options at the end of the lease will depend on the type of contract you chose. Typically, you can return the vehicle, extend the lease, or, in some cases, arrange to purchase the vehicle directly from the finance company (subject to approval from the funder).
Do I need a good credit score to lease a car?
Yes, a good credit score is usually required, as leasing companies want to ensure you can meet the monthly payments.
