If you’ve just passed your driving test….congratulations! Now it’s time to think about getting your first car.
Ask your parents and you’ll probably be told they had an ‘old banger’ with a manual choke and about 100,000 miles on the clock but we bet they’d want you to be behind the wheel of something safer and newer!
The growing popularity of car leasing means that driving a brand new car (that’s right, brand new!) might not be out of reach for you as a new driver.
Some fantastic deals are available on cars that fall into low insurance groups (insurance for first time drivers is often the biggest head ache) - what if we said you could lease a brand new lease car for just £89.99 a month! No, we haven’t missed off any numbers - there really are deals out there for under £100.
Here are just a few sub-£100 deals we’ve got as “Best Buys” (prices correct at the time of writing)
