Understanding Car Leasing

Car leasing refers to a contract between an individual / business and a finance company with regards to the usage of a car. It involves contractual monthly payments in return for the use of a car, in a similar way to how car hire works. The length and terms of the lease are variables that are decided around you and your requirements. There are lots of different ways to lease a car, such as finding an affordable car leasing deal at Gateway2Lease. Car leasing works in very simple steps:

1. We will help you choose a lease based upon your mileage and model requirements, the contract type and the length of the lease. A formal quotation will be provided that clearly sets out all the contract information.

2. Once you are happy with the quote you can accept it online. You will be asked to fill out a credit proposal form. The completed form would be submitted to the finance company where you or your business would be assessed and underwritten for finance.

3. If accepted for credit, finance contracts will be created for you to sign. Depending upon the finance company, the finance documents will either be sent to you electronically or via an alternative method and these will contain payment terms, direct debit information and terms and conditions. Everything you need to know is sent electronically and can be referred back to at any time.

4. After all the documents and contracts have been signed and completed, a delivery date is confirmed. We will arrange the delivery of your vehicle directly to you at a suitable and agreed time. You are then free to use the car immediately.

As you can see, understanding how car leasing works is relatively easy. If you require a more in depth look at the leasing process or you want to know more, take a look at our how leasing works guide.
