Can anyone recommend a good car leasing company for private users?
I have decided to lease my cars. I have done the finance and for my use and situation leasing a new car every 24months is my best option.
I do however need to find a good, reputable company. While they all seem to charge about teh same I need one which I know wont vanish in a few years.
If anyone has any recommendations from personal use that would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
I should also mention, im in the UK.
Hi, I use You are very wise leasing your car! You clever man, if it decreases in value, lease it, if it increases in value buy it, also you will look hell hot in the latest cars!
Try Arnold Clark Contract Hire, call them on 0141 332 2626 and ask for contract hire long term.
Without knowing where you are it’s not possible to make any recommendation. Your first stop should be your bank. Many of them either do leasing directly or have a captive arm that handles that.
I am going to take a chance here and instead of answer the question I am going to try and save you a headache later. Leasing a car is the most expensive way to drive the banks car. (Yes it is the banks car until you have a title) The problem is the mileage limitation and the turn in proceedure. Mileage is a problem because we cannot forsee the future and you don’t know if you will be driving 10 or 50000 miles a year in two years. Also, Different companies have different expectations of what condition the car should be in on turn in. Meaning a scratch to one company is just a scratch but to some its damage that you will be charged for. My advice… Pay cash for used.

If you are very sure that you want to lease, then remember that all the people that are being quoted are probably brokers. You can still get a fantastic deal from the dealer, so try there as well as the broker.
The best thing to do is get a leasing company/brokers quote and take it with you, then get them to see if they can beat it – harsh but fair practise. It also means that you can check out the car – a broker or leasing company (they come in lots of disguises) won’t necessarily know the full spec of the car and I know of a person who leased a 7 series, not realising that they needed to change the steering wheel option which was FOC, they are now stuck in it for 2 years – the dealer queried, the broker confirmed!
If you don’t fancy the dealer route then try Skyfleet , they are about the cheapest on the marketplace, the guys are really friendly and will get a deal for you (they have been going about 15 years)
AND as an afterthought, most people will tell you it is more expensive to lease, look at both costs, sometimes manufacturers have special deals which means it can work out cheaper to lease (eg last year BMW X3 at
