What is car leasing?
Car Leasing is an arrangement where customers hire a car for a specified period and preset mileage by paying a fixed monthly instalment to the car leasing company who owns the car.
Who can benefit by Leasing a Car?
Car leasing is for one and all. It allows customers to acquire their favourite cars which are otherwise beyond their budgets. It is crucial to compare the features of various lease options available and select a lease that best suits your requirement.
Important aspects to consider in a Car Lease
Length of Contract: Generally lease agreements are for 18, 24, 36, or 48 months.
Negotiate: Car leasing companies usually buy vehicles in large numbers and hence can pass on the benefits to customers.
Residual Value of the Car: Select a car with a good residual value at the end of the contract. This will bring down the monthly instalment.
Early Lease Termination Penalties: Many lease agreements have stringent penalty clauses for early termination. Analyse these clauses carefully.
Excess Mileage Charges: Estimate your car usage accurately before entering into a contract because excess mileage charges may apply.
Wear and Tear: Read wear and tear clauses carefully. Most lease contracts specify that charges for excess wear and tear will have to be borne by the customer at the time of returning the car.
Modification Clauses: Usually customers are not allowed to make any modifications to the car. If the customer makes any changes, he will have to bear all expenses to bring the car back to its original condition, when returning it to the lease company.
