The term “Car Leasing” is one which has become very common in the UK, particularly with electric cars (and vans).
It is important to note that leasing is a generic term, and can sometimes be used to describe a number of finance products including:
As there are some subtle (and not so subtle) differences between the products, it is important that you, or the business, understands how each product operates to ensure that you choose one which meets your needs and requirements. Please note that throughout our guides whenever we use the term “leasing” we are actually referring to contract hire.
Leasing is available to both personal and business customers. For business users, whether you are a Sole Trader, Partnership, a Limited Company or a PLC, leasing is a product which you can consider. Many of the UK’s company car schemes are business leasing arrangements.
