Do I need to complete a MOT for my lease car?

A MOT is only required on any car after a three year period. Therefore, unless your lease term exceeds a three year period, you will not need to obtain a MOT certificate. 

Is car insurance included in the leasing price?

Unfortunately insurance is not included. This is as every customer is different; ie age, area etc, therefore it is impossible to cost insurance in with the lease price. All lease cars must be insured comprehensively. If you would like a quote from our approved insurer please visit our insurance page. 

Can you explain what 3+23 for a 2 year contract or 3+35 for a 3 year contract means?

Car leasing deals are usually calculated over a 2 or 3 year term. Deals are advertised as 3+23 or 3+35 contracts. The ‘3’ stands for 3 payments in advance, then +23 or +35 equates to the quantity of payments you will pay throughout the contract term. You will also see deals advertised for comparison on different payments profiles, for example 6+23 and 6+35; this allows our customers to see other options available. Some customers prefer to pay a higher payment at the front of the lease, which in turn reduces the monthly rental amount for the balance of the contract. 

Who owns the car?

On both ‘business contract hire’ and ‘personal contract hire’ the finance company are the legal owner of the car on the V5 document. The finance company the lease is taken out with, will record the customer/business as the keeper of the vehicle on their internal records for the lease term. If you require further clarity on this question, please call one of our team and they will be happy to explain in more detail. 

What happens if I exceed the annual mileage on the lease contract?

Every lease car contract gives an ‘excess mileage’ price, therefore should you exceed your agreed total mileage, any additional mileage would be charged at this rate. EG: Excess pence per mileage rate = 5p. 1000 miles over the total contract mileage would be charged at £50.00 + VAT = £60.00. The finance company will invoice you after your lease car is returned. 

Are all lease cars brand new with no previous owners?

99% of car leasing offers are calculated on brand new cars, however some finance companies will process leasing contracts on cars up to 12 months old. All of the car leasing deals on our website are brand new UK vehicles, supplied via UK main dealerships, unless stated otherwise. 

Is Road Tax included in the car leasing price?

Road fund license is included for the full contract duration on 99% of deals. Please check the deal details associated with your deal of interest to ensure this is the case. 

Are lease cars covered by any form of warranty?

All brand new lease cars come with the standard manufacturer warranty supplied at main dealer level. 

What is maintenance?

You can opt to include what is called a ‘maintenance package’ in with the price of your lease. This generally covers you for your annual car service and any wear and tear items which need replacing (excluding damage). Please check the full content of the package with the supplying dealer, as some maintenance packages may exclude tyres and/or exhausts. 

Are there any administration fees?

Some finance companies or dealerships may charge an administration or document fee. Please check your quotation paperwork and ask your main dealer contact if you are unsure. 

Is delivery included in the leasing price?

The majority of car leasing deals include delivery to a UK mainland address of your choice.
