How leasing works
Put simply, car leasing is similar to car rental. You start by coming in and chatting with one of our experts about the type of vehicle you want, how much you’ll be using it, and how long you want it for. This will determine the cost of your initial deposit and each fixed monthly payment. Then, you’re good to go. We’ll be there to support you whenever you need us, and at the end of your lease agreement you can choose to renew and drive away in another brand new car.
What is Personal leasing hire
Personal leasing, or personal contract hire, is a fixed-term contract where you pay an agreed monthly rental for use of a brand new vehicle for a set amount of time. Your initial deposit and monthly rental will be based on how many miles you’ll drive per year, the leasing period – usually between two and five years – and the forecast vehicle value at the end of your contract. During your agreement we’ll look after servicing, general maintenance, rescue and repair – and be on hand for any support you might need. At the end of your leasing contract, you just return the car.
