Car leasing, or contract hire has been a great option for businesses for many years but it’s only in recent times that individuals have realised that leasing a car is a great option for them too.
What exactly is a personal car lease?
Leasing allows you to drive a new car every few years, with relatively low monthly payments and no worries about the car's resale value. You will part with an upfront payment followed by regular monthly payments over a fixed period of time. You can set all of this (within your lease company’s parameters) to ensure the costs fit with your budget.
Leasing a car is usually cheaper than financing a vehicle outright as you are effectively renting the vehicle, it doesn't belong to you.
You will need to pass a credit check to be granted finance to lease the vehicle and have a valid driving licence (of course!).
