How does car leasing work?

Vehicle leasing is an affordable way to get behind the wheel of a brand-new car.

After finding a suitable match, you’ll pay an initial deposit, which is then followed by fixed monthly payments over a set period of time. The majority of car lease deals are customisable too, allowing you to adjust the terms to meet your requirements.

During your time with the vehicle you’ll need to maintain it, but you can integrate the costs of maintenance and breakdown cover as part of your agreement too, making life easier. Unlike when you buy a vehicle, you can choose to swap the car for a new model (starting a new lease agreement) or simply hand it back at the end of the lease agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is car leasing?

Car leasing is a flexible and cost-effective way to enjoy a vehicle without the commitment of ownership. It involves paying a fixed monthly fee for an agreed period of time, allowing you to 'rent' a brand-new vehicle for significantly less than what you'd pay when buying.

At the end of the lease, you can choose to start an agreement on a new vehicle or simply return your current one. Leasing often includes benefits like lower monthly payments and warranty coverage, making it an attractive option for those who prefer driving the latest models without the long-term ownership obligations.

What's the difference between business and personal car leasing?

The main difference is that business lease agreements permit the keeper to use the car for business purposes, whereas personal lease agreements only permit personal use (commuting to a single place of work is typically permitted in personal agreements). Business users may also be able to claim back some tax from their lease agreement, too.

Should you lease or buy a car?

If you like to change your car every few years to get behind the wheel of the latest models, then leasing is a great option. You'll also benefit from lower monthly payments than buying, as well as manufacturer's warranty coverage for the majority of your keepership.

If you're interested in becoming the legal owner of the car at the end of your agreement, then buying may be a better option.

How much does car leasing cost?

Car leasing agreements will vary in price depending on certain factors such as the value of the vehicle, initial payment, length of agreement and whether you opt to include additional extras such as maintenance packages. Our extensive range of car lease deals can be adjusted to suit a wide variety of budgets.

What's the difference between leasing and financing a car?

When leasing a car, you're 'renting' the vehicle for a set amount of time and will generally pay cheaper monthly payments as you're not financing the total cost of the car. Traditional car finance on the other hand often has higher monthly payments, but you will become the legal owner of the car once the agreement has finished.

What does initial rental mean when leasing a car?

The initial rental, akin to a deposit in a car purchase, is paid before your lease agreement begins. Usually ranging from 1 to 12 monthly payments, it serves as an upfront cost.

While the initial rental is non-refundable at the end of the lease, opting for a higher initial payment can reduce your monthly instalments, as it directly deducts from the overall lease cost.

When leasing a car, how does insurance work?

You'll need to insure a lease car in the same way you'd insure a car you own outright, and the leasing company will typically require you to take out a fully comprehensive insurance policy before the car is delivered. We can provide advice related to lease car insurance if you'd like some help.
