Personal Leasing is a rental agreement (also known as Personal Contract Hire) that allows you to drive a new car for a set period and an agreed mileage. It is an alternative to financing a new car with a bank loan or other types of credit.

You choose an initial rental to suit you. Your initial rental will be your first monthly payment and will be due once you’ve received your car.

Your subsequent monthly rental payments are then set at a fixed price for the remaining term of your contract.

It is important to understand that with a lease you will not own the car. It will need to be returned to us at the end of the contract.

Excess mileage fees and damage charges may apply if you exceed the agreed mileage allowance or there is damage to the car that is not fair wear and tear. 

Applications are subject to status, credit and affordability checks. You must be 18 and over and a UK resident to apply.

To apply you must:
• Live in the UK
• Be 18 and over
• Applications are subject to status, credit and affordability checks 

In addition, you must have the following in place to drive the car:
• Hold a valid UK driving licence
• Must have fully comprehensive car insurance

Mileage is one of the major factors in defining how much your rental agreement will cost. It is vital to choose a mileage allowance that reflects your driving habits.

When setting up a quote, we'll ask you to select an annual mileage. We'll then work out a total contracted mileage based on the annual mileage you select and the term of the lease.

If you exceed the total contracted mileage, you'll need to pay us an excess mileage charge at the end of the agreement.

As an example: 
You choose an annual mileage of 10,000 miles over 48 months (4 years).  Your total contracted mileage is 40,000 miles.

Example 1.
If you do the following mileage: 
Year 1: 12,000 miles.
Year 2: 11,000 miles.
Year 3: 9,000 miles.
Year 4: 7,000 miles.
Total mileage over the contract is 39,000 miles.

You would not be charged excess mileage in this example. This is because you have not exceeded your total contracted mileage of 40,000 miles, even though you exceeded your annual mileage in years 1 and 2. 

Example 2.
If you do the following mileage: 
Year 1: 9,000 miles.
Year 2: 10,000 miles.
Year 3: 11,000 miles.
Year 4: 12,000 miles.
Total mileage over the contract is 42,000 miles.

You would be charged excess mileage in this example. This is because you have exceeded your total contracted mileage of 40,000 miles, even though you didn’t exceed annual mileage in years 1 and 2.

This excess mileage charge will be based on how many additional miles you have done. 
As an example: 
If the excess stated in your agreement is 5p per mile, and you exceeded your mileage allowance by 2,000 miles, you would be charged £100.00.

Please note: You will not receive a refund if you travel less than the total contracted mileage over the term of the agreement.

There are a number of things that can impact on the delivery time of a car. As a guide, most cars can be delivered within four months of an order being placed. Some prestige cars or cars with a lot of features can take longer. Pre-registered or in-stock offers may be available much sooner.

When a car is ordered, the dealer will give us an estimated delivery date. We'll email you with the details of this date. We'll track your order. We'll let you know if the delivery date changes.
