Pick a Car That's Right for You

Picking a new car is tough.

There are lots of options and endless features to consider, so how do you know you've made the right choice?

It's all down to the benefits that the car brings to you. To choose the right car, you need to consider:

• Your lifestyle - do you need a car for family adventures or to commute to work?
• What matters to you in a car - is it safety, space or do you prefer a visually stunning sports car?
• Budget - what can you afford.
• Electric vs petrol - is reducing your carbon footprint and reducing fuel costs important to you? Then an electric car might be for you.

Even cars with the best specifications in the world could be wide of the mark when considering your requirements. So, before you start your search, it's important to come up with a list of your most important features and capabilities so that you can make sure each car you consider ticks all of your boxes.

We have a wide range of cars available for leasing,from reliable Toyotas to the luxurious Mercedes-Benz- there is something for everyone. 

PCH vs PCP: Why Choose Car Leasing Over Ownership

There are lots of different types of car finance on the market today, but there's one that we think stands head and shoulders above the competition, offering a more convenient and cost-effective way to drive a new, reliable car on a regular rotation.

This form of car finance is, of course, Personal Contract Hire (PCH).

PCH is commonly referred to as car leasing, so please don't be confused if you see these phrases used in place of one another. They refer to the same type of car finance.

But why do we prefer PCH to the other types of car finance on the market today?

There are many reasons for this and there are lots of circumstantial benefits that you can feel as a driver too, but here are some of the main reasons that we believe drivers should be turning to a car finance company in search of the perfect lease:

Balloon Payments Can Cause Unnecessary Stress

We all want peace of mind when it comes to our cars, but with other types of car finance, it's not always achievable.

PCP (or Personal Contract Purchase) is a great example of this.

Instead of paying a monthly rental to cover the cost of using the vehicle for your lease term, you'll be paying larger monthly payments towards the total value of the car, with a significant balloon payment at the end of your contract to confirm ownership of the vehicle.

Whilst this does make you the owner of the vehicle, it also creates many things to consider too, which can make the leasing process far less enjoyable and stress-free.

You'll need to think about saving up for your balloon payment at the end of your agreement, as well as find the money to cover your regular monthly payment on your PCP deal.

Very quickly, this becomes an expensive deal with way too many factors to think about before you even start to consider the impact of value depreciation, which we'll cover later.

Lower Monthly Costs for More Financial Freedom

The monthly price that you pay with a lease deal will be lower than that of another type of finance for the same vehicle - that's a fact.

And paying less means you've got more to spend on the things that matter most to you. Meaning more holidays, nice clothes, the latest technology, or even just some extra cash for a rainy day.

Everybody can use a bit of extra money in their pocket, and that's exactly what a car leasing deal will help you to achieve.

But don't worry,you won't have to sacrifice quality or safety to save money with a car leasing agreement - you'll be getting a brand new, top-of-the-range car that's passed all of the safety checks to ensure that it's in perfect condition when it's delivered to you.

Get That New Car Feeling More Often

Who doesn't love the feeling of climbing into a brand-new car for the first time?

That rush and excitement are unbeatable - from that new-car smell to the cushioned seats and immaculate interior, it's a genuine joy to behold.

And with a lease car agreement, you'll get to experience that feeling more often.

Our car leasing contracts cover periods between 2 and 4 years in length, meaning the longest time you'll ever have to wait for a new car is 4 years, or 48 months if you'd prefer to look at things that way.

When put into context, that isn't a long time at all, which means your car stays feeling fresh and modern for the entirety of your lease term, and then you're able to switch to the latest model before that car even becomes outdated!

It's the ideal rotation process for anyone who wants to be behind the wheel of the latest cars more frequently.

Our leasing specialists have put together a couple of theirlatest special offers for you to check out today - click here to find out more!

Forget about the Depreciation in Value

There are a wide range of reasons why leasing comes out on top of other types of car finance, but the biggest one has to be the fact that you don't need to worry about depreciation.

When you own a car, there comes a time when you need to move it on and invest in an upgraded model.

As you're probably already aware,the value of a car drops the moment it leaves the dealership, but the decline in value doesn't stop there. With years worth of annual mileage on the clock and a few signs of wear and tear on top, the value depreciates even further, making it hard to recoup any real value from the car through a sale.

This tends to mean that people part-exchange their car for a new finance agreement, which invalidates the idea of purchasing the car in the first place.

You can probably already tell that this is far more stressful than a simple leasing journey. With leasing, you use your car for the agreed term, hand it back to the lender, and then arrange a new deal for a fresh vehicle.

There's no need to worry about depreciation, car value, finding a buyer, or part-exchanging - it's as easy as can be and helps you to drive with peace of mind for the duration of your lease contract.

Worry-Free Maintenance Plans with Your Car Leasing Deal

When taking out a car leasing arrangement, one of the external factors that you'll be responsible for is the condition of your car.

Whilst in other types of car finance, such as PCP or Hire Purchase, you will eventually end up as the owner of the car, PCH car finance does not offer a purchase option and you'll never own the car.

This decreases the risk on your side, but for the vehicle lender that's not the case. They'll own a car that they won't be in possession of, so they're unable to guarantee that the car is returned in good condition.

At the end of the lease deal, the vehicle lender will need to ensure that the car still holds value and can be sold as an asset, but if the condition is at a lower level than expected, they may not be able to do this and risk losing additional money on the car.

That's why maintenance is so important in car leasing agreements.

Regular Services and Checks Without the Fuss

Maintenance plans are the easiest way to keep your car in the best condition for the duration of your lease - you'll get regular services and checks, as well as fixes for any issues that arise too, helping you to solve any problems before they cause any major damage.

If your car is deemed to be in poor condition at the end of the lease, you may be asked to cover the cost of repairs.

These unexpected expenses can be a real shock to the system, especially if it's a significant amount that you need to pay to get the car back into resale condition.

Of course, some wear is to be expected as the car is driven for multiple years during a lease agreement, so there is some leeway that accounts for wear and tear - you won't be asked to return the car in pristine condition, it just needs to be returned at areasonable standard for the age, mileage, and level of wear and tear.

Major Repairs and One-Call Booking Service

The most important things to keep an eye out for are major flaws that would reduce the value and safety of the car, such as large scratches and dents, damaged parts, or mechanical issues that are a result of user error.

If a car is returned with these types of issues, you'll probably have to pay for the repairs.

Thankfully,LeaseCar's Worry-Free Maintenance plans are here to help!

Our maintenance plan takes all of the stress out of maintaining your car - we'll arrange everything for you and you can even book your services using our one-call booking service!

It's never been easier to arrange maintenance for a car leasing deal, so be sure you don't miss out on this opportunity when you're looking for a new lease agreement.

Here is the key information you need to know when it comes to LeaseCar's Worry-Free Maintenance package:

Choosing Your Insurance Package

Drivers need to be insured.

But the process of finding insurance is notoriously long and convoluted.

Nonetheless,sourcing the right insurance will be one of the first things you do when leasing a car - once this is arranged, you'll have ticked off one of your legal obligations, keeping both yourself, the owner of the car, and any other drivers protected.

The way insurance operates for a leased vehicle is the same as it does for any other sort of financing. You can choose between three different levels of coverage, from the most basic (Third party/Third Party, fire and theft), which is less expensive but more limited, to fully comprehensive plans, which protect you in almost every circumstance you might encounter while driving.

At LeaseCar, we strive to simplify every aspect of the car leasing process for our clients, and this goal extends to the insurance procedure as well.

Total Care removes the stress of insuring your vehicle

Total Care is LeaseCar's comprehensive approach to car leasing, giving customers:

• A vehicle of their choice
• A maintenance plan that keeps the vehicle in excellent condition for the duration of the contract
• Insurance that protects customers efficiently in the case of an accident or incident

With Total Care you will pay one fixed monthly price that covers all of your vehicle expenses rather than receiving many bills each month for various fees, which will make managing your monthly budget much simpler.

How Our Car Leasing Process Works

Step 1 - Pick your dream car

The first step on any car leasing journey is finding that perfect car.

Browse our range of vehicles, check out the specifications, and pick a car that ticks all of your criteria.

Step 2 - Tailor your lease to suit you

Next, you'll want to compare the lease terms and decide which suit you best.

We've made this super easy for you. You can tailor our leasing deals to match your preferred duration, initial rental, and annual mileage, helping you to ensure that your car is affordable, practical, and stress-free.

Step 3 - Complete a credit check

Once you've set your lease terms, we'll need to run a credit check to ensure that your credit score and history meet our requirements.

This is a quick, simple process that'll give you a response as to whether you've been accepted in no time.

Step 4 - Arrange your free UK delivery

If you gain credit approval, we'll be able to move on to the next stage of the leasing process, which is signing the agreement contract and organising the delivery of your vehicle.

If your chosen car is in stock, we'll have it with you without delay. However, if temporarily unavailable, there may be a waiting period - but don't worry, we'll do everything we can to get your new car delivered to you as quickly as possible. We'll also update our order tracker so that you can keep tabs on its arrival status.

Step 5 - Get behind the wheel

Once your car is delivered, you're good to hit the road in your brand-new lease car!

Things You'll Need to Consider When Choosing Your Car Leasing Deal

Before you commit to a leasing deal, you need to make sure it's the right choice for you.

Leasing is a fantastic option for a lot of drivers, but there will always be people who aren't best suited to leasing a vehicle.

So, what do you need to consider before you look for a car lease?

Are You Eligible For a Car Lease?

Before you start your search, you'll of course want to make sure that you're eligible for this type of deal. The main thing to be aware of is the need for a credit check to be conducted. You'll need to pass this for your lease application to be approved, soif you have bad credit you may find that you're unable to gain approval for this type of car finance, or any car finance for that matter.

The other main factor to consider on the topic of eligibility is your age. To apply for finance in the UK, you'll need to be at least 18 years of age - if you're under this age, you will not be accepted for credit and will be unable to finance a car for your use.

So, in short, you need to ensure that you're over 18 and capable of passing a credit check for the lease amount. If so, you should beeligible for one of our car leasing agreements!

How Soon Do You Need Your New Car?

The next thing to consider is when you're going to need your new car.

If you still have some time left within your current lease deal and are simply browsing cars for your next agreement, you'll have greater flexibility with the luxury of time on your side. As there's no immediate rush on delivery, you can spend longer browsing and can even commit to the latest and hottest vehicle releases that may not even be on the market yet! Check out our upcoming stock here.

However, the luxury of time is not always the case. Sometimes, you're going to need your new car ASAP or face a tricky time being able to get to and from the places you need to go.

If you're looking for a car lease deal with a short delivery wait time, don't worry. We've got lots of fantastic cars available with speedy delivery - from budget-friendly family cars to upmarket sports cars - so get in touch with us and discuss the options today!

What's Your Budget?

Budget is probably the biggest factor to consider when you're leasing a new car.

It's your budget that will dictate which cars are available to you.

Whilst a tight budget might mean that you can't afford a Ferrari or Lamborghini, it doesn't mean that you'll have to settle for less than you deserve.

There are lots of great cars available at very affordable prices in the LeaseCar range. We'll tailor your lease deal to match your budget. For example, if you have a lump sum of cash, you can opt to pay a higher upfront initial rental amount first, with reduced monthly costs then on if that suits you - or vice versa! Whatever works best for you - we're happy so long as you are.

Structure Your Lease Agreement to Suit Your Needs

To us, one of the biggest benefits of car leasing is that you have so much flexibility to tailor your deal to your specific needs, budget, and preferences.

If you'd prefer to front-load your outgoings by paying a larger initial rental, you can do exactly that! By doing this, you'll also be reducing the monthly cost that you'll pay, making the agreement more affordable in the long run.

On the other hand, you can choose to pay higher monthly rentals and decrease the initial rental cost - this makes your lease more affordable in the first instance, rather than having to splash a large sum from the offset.

Your Frequently Asked Questions, Answered by Our Experts:

Why would you choose car leasing?

Leasing is often cheaper and simpler than buying a brand-new car outright.

Leasing a car is effectively a long-term rental - you get the use of a vehicle for a specified period, for a fixed monthly cost. It's as easy as that.

There are no strings attached, no hidden fees, and nothing to worry about. If you're looking for peace of mind when it comes to motoring, car leasing is the way to go.

What happens when your car lease ends?

You hand the car back to the lender and your contract is over.

You don't have to pay any final fees or balloon payments, just give the car back to the lender in good condition and you can walk away and find yourself a brand-new car leasing deal for the next few years.

Who can lease a car?

Anyone who passes our credit checks can lease a car with LeaseCar!

Our leases are subject to affordability and credit checks to ensure that you can afford the monthly rentals. Once you've been approved, all you need is a valid driving licence and you'll be able to get the ball rolling on an exciting new car leasing agreement!

What effect will a lease deal have on my credit rating?

Your credit rating is effectively a measure of your trustworthiness in the eyes of the lender. It is based on several factors, including your payment history and the amount of debt that you currently hold.

Much like a credit card or a monthly phone contract, a lease agreement is classed as a type of finance or ‘lending', which means it will contribute to your credit score.

To credit agencies, a lease is like any finance contract, with the difference with leasing - as opposed to a personal contract purchase - being that the amount showing outstanding on your credit file will be equivalent to the sum of the monthly rentals rather than the total value of the car.

It's also worth noting that keeping up with your monthly rent may have a positive impact on your credit rating. On the flip side, missing instalments will harm your credit rating.

So, by making your payment on time each month for the duration of your agreement, you may even see apositive impact on your credit score!

How much will my monthly rental be?

Your monthly rental cost will be based on the following factors:

• The initial rental amount
• The duration of the lease
• The value of the vehicle today
• The estimated value of the vehicle at the end of the lease
• The estimated average annual mileage you're expecting to travel
• The value of your maintenance plan, if selected

There's no set-in-stone answer, but you can find a basic quote based on your chosen vehicle and terms by utilising the cost calculator on each of our Carpages!

What happens at the end of the car lease agreement?

At the end of your contract, the finance company will collect your vehicle free of charge. You must ensure the vehicle is in good condition for a car of its age and mileage.

General wear and tear from regular use won't be an issue, but if there are any considerable repairs needed to get the car back to an acceptable standard, you may be asked to cover the costs.

Start Your Journey: Find a Car That You Love

Leasing is no fun if it means you won't be able to drive a car that you love.

And that's why we've made it easier than ever for drivers to find the perfect lease car for their budgets.

In our range,you'll find everything from zippy hatchbacks and spacious SUVs to comfortable saloons and stylish sports cars - there's something for everyone here at LeaseCar!

To make sure that you've got the best car for your budget, be sure to pay special attention to the following three things:

1. Set an initial rental that works for your budget

Your initial rental cost plays a massive role in dictating how affordable your car lease deal will be over time.

A higher initial rental will lower your monthly fee, making your lease agreement cheaper in the long run. This flexibility may even let you afford a higher-quality vehicle if your savings can handle a higher upfront cost.

On the other hand, a lower rental is more instantly affordable for those without a lump sum of savings lying around. If you opt for a lower initial rental cost, your monthly rental will be higher to compensate.

Essentially, you'll have total freedom to structure your costs in the way that'll work best for you!

2. Choose how long you want to keep the vehicle for

Some of us hate change, and some of us love it, but the thing we all value most in life is choosing our own terms.

With LeaseCar, that's exactly what you'll get.

With our car leasing, the terms are yours to tailor. You can choose between 2, 3, and 4-year lease term agreements to suit your needs. For example, if you'd prefer to get your hands on a new set of wheels more often, our 2-year leases provide new car sampling in quick rotation.

But if that's not for you - perhaps you're looking to get more acquainted with your car and settle into a driving rhythm - the 4-year option is the ideal fit.

3. Consider your mileage to avoid additional fees

Nowadays, cars can hit the 100,000-mile mark with ease, but that doesn't necessarily mean that mileage doesn't matter.

The older a car is and the further it's driven, the more likely it is toencounter mechanical issues that require costly repairs, which in turn make the car a less valuable asset for the owner.

That's why setting the right estimated average mileage levels is so important when taking out a lease agreement on a new vehicle.

By understanding the expected mileage, age, and condition of the vehicle when it's returned, the owner can accurately gauge the estimated value that the car will have at the end of the agreement.

In turn, this impacts the lease cost as the owner looks to create a profitable lease price that accounts for depreciation and wear, yet remains affordable and accessible for the driver.

By underestimating your expected mileage, you run the risk of returning the car in a worse condition, or higher mileage, than was originally planned - this changes the value for the owner and decreases the value of the deal on the owner's side.

If you do exceed your mileage, or you expect to do so before the agreement finishes, be sure to get in touch with us - we can look to rearrange your terms and find an affordable solution before you encounter costly additional fees!

Car Leasing: What is Business Contract Hire (BCH)?

Every year, the practice of leasing company vehicles grows in popularity as more and more business owners opt for leasing over traditional purchasing.

Business car leasing, also called Business Contract Hire (BCH), provides several advantages, regardless of whether you run a fleet of vehicles or are a lone proprietor.

A business leasing contract is a monthly car rental programme with a 2, 3, or 4-year term and a variety of choices tailored to your specific requirements.During the whole period, your monthly expenses — which include your leasing costs, maintenance, servicing, and road tax — remain constant.

Business Contract Hire agreements offer a range of affordable monthly leasing alternatives, enticing tax advantages and, in some cases, the chance to extend the term of your contract.

You can add a mileage allowance to your lease to suit your anticipated demands. That enables you to budget and plan your vehicle use, which is essential for business owners and company car drivers.

Ending your contract couldn't be easier, either - simply return the vehicle to us after the contract hire period and you're done!

From here, you'll be able to reassess your business leasing needs and start to look into the newest cars available at the most affordable prices on the market.

Is BCH right for your company?

To assess if Business Contract Hire is worth it for your business, let's take a look at the key benefits:

You'll Pay a Fixed Monthly Cost

Outgoings that vary month to month might be a hassle when you're trying to plan your business finances and manage your cash flow. When you have a business car leasing agreement, there are no unforeseen costs and your monthly rate stays the same during the lease - it's so much easier to track, manage, and monitor your finance and admin departments.

Your Monthly Costs Will Be Lower

Every business likes to save costs where possible, and BCH agreements help you to do exactly that.

When compared with purchasing your vehicles outright, car leasing presents a huge cost saving in many areas, making it the more economical choice for your company.

You'll be able to choose an initial rental that works for you and a lease term that makes sense for your business, ensuring you're only investing in deals that are perfect for you.

With this much flexibility, you'll never have to settle for a deal that isn't quite right.

Your Employees Will Be Driving Premium Vehicles

When deciding which vehicle to invest in, leasing opens up lots of new options that may not have been available when looking to purchase the car outright.

You can think about driving newer, higher-quality cars if your initial outlay is higher, making future monthly costs significantly lower.

The good news is that you can use this to enhance your company's reputation and leave the appropriate impression on your clients - there's nothing like making a classy first impression on your high-spending corporate clients!

No More Depreciation

We'll examine the anticipated rate of depreciation on your preferred vehicle at the start of a Business Contract Hire arrangement; this will be reflected in your contract conditions.

You won't be required to pay any extra if the real depreciation levels are more than these forecasted numbers, meaning you'll avoid unexpected fees during the contract duration.

Company Car Tax Savings Reduce Your Transportation Costs

You don't have to pay any corporate car tax if you're a sole trader, a partner, or a member of an LLP. However, many company car drivers and business owners aren't aware of this and are missing out on significant benefits that could save them money both now and in the future.

Are there any government incentives you may be able to use?

Yes, there are government incentives for businesses looking to cut costs and reduce their carbon emissions by investing in electric car leases.

The government has altered the Benefit in Kind (BiK) tax rates to encourage more commercial drivers to adopt greener vehicles such as electric cars and hybrid vehicles.

By adopting these cars now, drivers have the chance to start saving money and prepare themselves for the removal of petrol and diesel cars from the market, which is scheduled to happen in 2030.

Depending on the specifications of the car you choose, BiK charges vary. As might be expected, compared to equivalent petrol or diesel vehicles, fully electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) pay less in taxes.

If your company operates many vehicles and chooses to make the switch to electric, this could result in thousands of pounds saved through this BiK incentive scheme.

You'll Save on VAT When You Lease Your Company Vehicles

If your company is registered for VAT and you are leasing your vehicle solely for business purposes, you may be eligible to reclaim the VAT paid on a car leasing deal.

This also includes the cost of additional maintenance plans that you may choose to include in your car leasing agreement.

For those who are not using the vehicle solely for business use, there is still the opportunity to reclaim some of the total VAT amount, which could lead to considerable cost savings for your company.

How LeaseCar Can Get You the Best Lease Deals For Your Business

We've been operating in the car leasing industry for over 25 years, which allows us to use unparalleled experience and insight when finding the right business car leasing agreements for your business.

Over this time, we've refined our process to keep everything straightforward and easy to understand for businesses looking to cut costs and save time - you can find some of the key points regarding our corporate leasing process below:

Credit Checks Help Us to Assess Affordability

You must submit to a credit check that examines your accounts and, if you're a limited company, the information of your business directors before beginning any business lease contract negotiations.

New Businesses May Still Be Eligible for BCH Agreements

As long as they can afford the monthly rentals and have a respectable track record of doing business, new companies will still be eligible to lease a business vehicle. Company leasing is a fantastic next step for many startups looking to build a reputable credit history and payments record.

In time, this can help your business to gain access to larger credit agreements that help you to invest in more company vehicles without having to sacrifice large amounts of your company capital.

By leasing your business vehicles, you'll be investing in reliable cars for your employees without having to sacrifice a significant amount of money upfront. This is a huge benefit, especially for smaller companies or startups where initial funds may be limited.

Leasing an Electric Car: Is It the Right Choice For You?

You might be wondering if choosing an electric vehicle is the best option. Especially if you're simply searching for a car for basic tasks like the daily commute, running the kids to and from school, and going shopping, is it worth the switch?

Whilst electric cars are economical, there were once concerns surrounding their capacity - often referred to as 'range anxiety'. However, as EVs have become more widespread, this isn't something that you need to worry about anymore.

Modern electric cars are more than capable of handling hundreds of miles of travel on a single charge, ensuring that you can get around reliably without having to factor in charging times mid-journey.

If you're currently considering an EV lease deal, here are some of the key things to know before you invest:

The Benefits of Driving an Electric Car

Right now, switching to an electric car model is strongly advised, and as time goes on, the decision to invest in an electric car will become more of a necessity.

By 2030, when all combustion engine car manufacturing will have ended in the UK, you'll already need to switch to an electric vehicle if you're buying a new car. Of course, if you wait until that point, you may find that adjustment period quite startling.

Driving an EV is very different to driving an electric car, resulting in a considerable adoption process for many drivers. So, by taking the leap now, you'll be preparing yourself for 2030's EV eventuality well in advance.

In addition to the advantages of driving an electric battery vehicle,there are several incentives for drivers to make the switch to an EV, including tax exemptions for clean air zones and other comparable fee exemptions in large cities.

You're likely to discover that driving an electric car works out to be much less expensive than a petrol or diesel car throughout a lease arrangement thanks to the savings you'll be making in running costs.

The main benefits of driving an electric car are:

• Electric cars are better for the environment
• An EV will be cheaper to run than a diesel or petrol car
• EVs use the latest automotive technology, resulting in sublime ride quality
• By avoiding fees through exemptions, you'll be spending less when driving
• Making the switch now means that you've got more time to adjust before 2030

There are lots of benefits that you'll feel as the driver of an EV. It'll reduce your carbon footprint, reduce the cost of your monthly motoring bills, and it'll get you comfortable driving an electric car before they become mandatory in the future.

But there are still a couple of drawbacks that you need to consider before you make your decision on whether to switch. The main things that you'll need to consider are:

1. It might take some time to get used to driving your electric car
2. Charging at home is the ideal solution, but it's not always possible if your home has no off-street parking
3. If you're regularly travelling further than the average range (194 miles), you'll need to factor in charging stops during your journey

On average,an electric car is capable of driving around 194 miles on a single charge, but this can vary massively from car to car. At the highest end of the scale, vehicles such as the Mercedes EQS 450+ can travel 453 miles on a single charge, giving you more than enough range for any single trip.

Whilst the above drawbacks may seem minor in comparison to the benefits that an EV can offer, it's still incredibly important to consider them before you sign an electric car lease agreement.
