                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
                What Is Vehicle Leasing? FAQs
                Can I lease a vehicle with no credit check?

                Yes, this is an option as we work with various suppliers who can provide lease vehicles with no credit check.

                What are the options when it comes to insurance?

                When you get a quote for a lease vehicle you have two options when it comes to insurance. You can have a long term hire on our insurance or you can take the vehicle on a long term lease and source your own insurance. However the insurance must cover the use of a hire vehicle as many usual insurance policies prevent this.

                Which Insurance companies are suitable?

                We know three insurance companies which are acceptable when it comes to getting lease insurance. Drayton Insurance, the Insurance Centre and Just Insure. Speak to us directly if you have queries about insurance for your lease vehicle.

                How is leasing different to car hire?

                Car Hire is basically when you take a vehicle for any length of time up to 28 days. Leasing is when you take a vehicle for 28 days or more.

                Can I take my lease vehicle overseas?

                Yes. As you are taking the vehicle on your own insurance then you would cover for this when you source your insurance at the point of booking if you knew you were taking the vehicle abroad.

                Can I get my lease vehicle delivered?

                Yes, on leases more than 3 months in length we can certainly get the vehicle delivered for you.

                Are there age restrictions to lease a vehicle?

                As long as you have a full licence you can lease a vehicle from the age of 17. However this is at the manager’s discretion as things like driving experience, points and convictions are taken into consideration.

                I have an overseas licence can I lease a car?

                Yes, as long as you are taking the vehicle on your own insurance we can still provide this service to you even if you do not hold a UK licence.

                Do I need to pass a credit check if using my debit card to hire?

                If renting a car in the UK and you are a UK resident most of the large multinational suppliers will carry out an electronic address check to ensure you have strong enough links to the address provided. However most of the suppliers with the exception of 1 or 2, still carry out the same checks so not unique to when you need to hire via a debit card. Key indicator are if you are named on the Electoral Register and named on the council tax bill.

                When renting a car overseas as an inbound client our suppliers do not carry out any checks.

                Do I need to leave a deposit if hiring with a debit card?

                Most suppliers do require a security deposit when renting a car, in the UK we have a range of options. The best value suppliers would request a £200.00 – £300.00 deposit. However we do have selected locations where our supplier does not require any deposit, so a full zero deposit.

                In Europe we have options where you can just leave a fuel deposit of 110 EUR, and there is no mandatory requirement to take the Super Cover as this can be the case with some of the smaller budget suppliers.
