What Is Vehicle Leasing?
Short term leasing is basically a long term rental based on a set number of months, usually between 3 to 12 months. Where leasing differs slightly to hiring a car is that you generally have to provide your own insurance to be able to drive the vehicle. Everything else is usually included, obviously apart from the fuel.
If you are looking for something for a longer period from 1 to 3 years then Contract Hire maybe the way to go. However you do tend lose a lot of the flexibility.
What is included in the lease?
- Brand New Vehicle Straight From Factory
- Delivery And Collection
- Breakdown Cover
- Capped Mileage
- No Credit Check
- No Early Termination Fees
Looking For Car Leasing With Insurance?
Most leasing companies do not include insurance because this is one of the highest costs, this is why leasing a vehicle seems much cheaper than a normal hire car, that includes short term insurance. We do however have a package we like to call ‘All Inclusive Motoring‘ which is effectively a long term rental car, but packaged together on a monthly basis like a lease vehicle. One of the biggest benefits of this package is that there are no credit checks involved, unlike most leasing agreements.
We always suggest that you call, email or chat with us online. The more understanding we have about you and your requirements, the better the package we can offer
