Car leasing is a method of financing a vehicle where you pay a monthly fee to use a car for a set period, typically 2-4 years. At the end of the lease, you return the car.
Leasing offers lower monthly payments compared to buying, access to new vehicles every few years, and minimal maintenance concerns since most vehicles are under warranty.
Maintenance packages can often be included in your lease agreement for an additional fee. This can cover regular servicing, tyres, and other maintenance needs.
This depends on the type of contract taken but usually you can either hand the car back, extend the contract or purchase the vehicle from the finance company (dependent upon the funder).
Early termination of a lease is possible but often comes with a financial penalty. The exact terms will be outlined in your lease agreement.
We offer free UK mainland delivery to home or work. Collection depends on the type of contract taken. For contract hire or personal contract hire and contract purchase or personal contract purchase the finance company will collect the vehicle at the end of the contract unless you are purchasing the vehicle.
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.
Exceeding the mileage limit will usually result in an excess mileage charge. This fee is specified in your lease agreement.
You will need to arrange fully comprehensive insurance for the duration of the lease term.
