What is car leasing?

Car leasing, also known as Personal Contract Hire (or PCH for short) is essentially a long-term car rental where you pay a fixed monthly cost for an agreed term, usually between 2 and 4 years. At the end, you can simply hand the car back and start again or if you'd prefer, you can request to extend your lease, or even request to buy the car.

It's a great option for businesses looking for vehicles, too (also known as Business Contract Hire or BCH for short). As a whole, leasing works the same for businesses, with a few pros and cons which you can read in our Personal Lease or Business Lease guide.

Step 1

Find your perfect car or van 🔍

Finding the perfect car lease has never been easier. Use our intuitive website filters to narrow down your options by make, model, budget, body type, CO2, fuel type...the list goes on. Or, if you'd prefer, you can speak to one of our friendly experts who’ll guide you through your options and help you find a deal that suits your needs — completely obligation-free.

Step 2

Complete your online paperwork 📑

Once you’ve found the right deal, we’ll handle the details to make things easy for you. Our team will send you a few documents to review and complete online — quick, simple, and hassle-free. As soon as everything is signed and returned, your lease is officially underway.

Step 3

Enjoy your brand-new vehicle 🚙✨

When your car is ready, we’ll be in touch to arrange delivery at a time and place that works for you. Whether it’s to your home or work, we’ll deliver your new car right to your door...and be ready to arrange collection at the end, too.

Manufacturer warranty & breakdown

All leased vehicles are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, protecting against faults and mechanical issues during the warranty period. Most leases include roadside assistance, either provided by the manufacturer as part of the warranty or as part of the maintenance package.

Road tax for the duration

Your lease agreement includes vehicle road tax at the prevailing rate for the entire duration of the contract, saving you from annual renewal costs. No need to renew it yourself either, it'll be done automatically, saving you one more job.

Delivery to your door

All of our lease offers include nationwide delivery and collection to the UK mainland, bringing your car directly to your chosen location at no extra cost. We'll arrange it to your home or workplace at a date that suits you, and our driver will give you a call an hour before they arrive.

Dedicated account management

Rather than sitting on hold or waiting for a reply to your email, you'll have a dedicated account manager who will be on hand throughout. Better yet, you can communicate with them however you see fit - WhatsApp, phone, text, email...post. Maybe not post.

Maintenance package

Including a maintenance package with your lease will ensure your lease car is not only maintained correctly but also maintained well. Maintenance packages are a fixed cost so you know exactly how much you're going to spend during your lease term. This cover is an addition to the full manufacturer's warranty and breakdown that comes as standard with all brand-new vehicles.

One-off special offers

Due to the large number of dealerships and leasing companies we work with, we're often a go-to if they need to sell (or lease) something fast. This could be a batch of stock cars, an exclusive deal we've committed to, or a cancelled order. Most of the time, these deals don't even make it to the website, so it's best to be on our special offers list.
