Leasing is normally cheaper than buying a new car outright, or through traditional methods such as Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) or Hire Purchase (HP).
This is because you don't need to worry about the vehicle depreciation over time, you simply pay an initial payment of your choice, followed by monthly payments over a 2, 3 or 4 year term then simply hand the car back at the end.
Our process is a simple 4 step procedure. So how does leasing a car (or van) work?

Car leasing is a cost effective way to get behind the wheel of a brand new car, van, or pick up. You pay an initial rental, followed by fixed monthly rentals, over a time period (typically two to five years).
You commit to a pre-set annual mileage, with agreements typically starting at 5,000 miles per year, the more miles you drive, the higher the monthly cost.
With our lease offers, you can factory order a bespoke car and choose the colour and any optional extras. The cost is then spread across the length of the agreement.
