How Does Car Leasing Work?
1. Choose your car
To start the leasing process, you’ll need to choose your car. We have a range of cars available, from compact city cars to large family SUVs, as well as the most modern hybrid and electric cars. Think about the type of car that would best suit your needs, whether you’re looking for a fast, powerful sports car or an everyday run-around. Once you’ve chosen your car, you can start tailoring your lease to suit you.
2. Choose your contract length
The first step of personalising the leasing process is to choose a contract length. Choose from lease terms from 24 months to 48 months, depending on how long you want to keep your car. If you like to change your car every couple of years to keep up with the latest models and in-car tech, you can do this with a shorter lease length.
3. Consider mileage allowance
You’ll also need to consider how many miles you drive per year to help us tailor your lease deal to your lifestyle. This will typically be between 5,000 and 30,000 miles a year. It’s essential to estimate your miles as close to the correct number as possible so you don’t have to pay excess charges for exceeding your allowance. To start with, estimate your mileage higher than you might require to be on the safe side — this way, you can adjust it if you’re not hitting this number.
4. Add a range of options
To start the leasing process, you’ll need to choose your car. We have a range of cars available, from compact city cars to large family SUVs, as well as the most modern hybrid and electric cars.

Once you’ve chosen your car, you can start tailoring your lease to suit you.
5. Pay an initial rental
The first step of personalising the leasing process is to choose a contract length. Choose from lease terms from 24 months to 48 months, depending on how long you want to keep your car. If you like to change your car every couple of years to keep up with the latest models and in-car tech, you can do this with a shorter lease length.
6.Continue with fixed monthly payments
You’ll also need to consider how many miles you drive per year to help us tailor your lease deal to your lifestyle. This will typically be between 5,000 and 30,000 miles a year. It’s essential to estimate your miles as close to the correct number as possible so you don’t have to pay excess charges for exceeding your allowance. To start with, estimate your mileage higher than you might require to be on the safe side — this way, you can adjust it if you’re not hitting this number.
End of lease: return and upgrade?
Once you reach the end of your chosen lease term, you don’t need to worry about depreciation or selling. There are a few options to choose from:
Upgrade
Hand your car back to us, choose a new model and start the leasing process again.
Extend:
Love your lease car? Extend your current lease — sometimes your monthly payments may also be reduced.
Return
If you no longer need a car and don’t want to upgrade, simply hand your car back over to us with no further obligations. Before handing your car back to us, check the Fair Wear and Tear agreement, as excessive damage can lead to additional charges.
Benefits of leasing
Wondering if leasing is for you? It comes with a range of benefits you won’t get with other types of car finance:
Choice of contract lengths
Choose a lease term length to suit you, whether that’s a short contract so you can change your car more often or a longer term for lower monthly payments. It’s your choice!
Low initial payments and monthly costs
Leasing is a more affordable option, with no expensive deposit needed and affordable, manageable monthly payments.
Drive the latest model
Upgrade your car every few years to keep up with the latest models and technology.
No depreciation worries
At the end of your contract, give the car back to us, and we’ll take care of the rest. No depreciation or selling worries.
Service and maintenance options
Include service and maintenance cover in your monthly payments so you don’t need to worry about budgeting for these separately — consolidate your motoring costs.
End-of-contract flexibility
Extend, upgrade or end your agreement at the end of your contract, depending on which option suits you best.
