First Time Leasing A Car

Once you have the DVLA documents in your hands then you can proceed with putting your number plates onto the car. Then if you have taken the option to return the car then you just inform the DVLA again that you are putting the original plates back on the the car before you hand it back to the leasing company or car dealer.

That is great, I'd like to take one of your cheap deals that you have for the Ford Focus.

I'm trying to lease a car for first time. I've heard all about it but do not know if I should lease a new car or a used car. In the meantime I did submit a couple of contact forms. Can you help? Please could I request a call back please ASAP with a view to leasing a car on a personal contract. I am looking for a small call hatchback 1.2 or 1.4 , 5 doors with a large boot for a small car and automatic

We have looked at your requests and put you in touch with our supplier because we are a car leasing broker, not the supplier or the lender. The delivery and finance is underwritten by them.

I’m a little confused as a company has already contacted me called credit first saying they are acting on your behalf? Is this correct?

I was a bit confused too with your emails. As we, as in Time4Leasing is a car leasing broker, we are not the supplier or the lender. We find great deals for our customers. However, you applied twice. One deal was from supplier one (not sure who credit first is) and the other deal came from supplier two.

I'm not sure which of the two supplier I should pick. Any ideas?

If you have good credit history and want a brand new car then let our supplier that offers only brand new cars quote you. If you have poor credit history then let the subprime supplier quote you because they accept customers that have poor or bad credit. Does this make sense? Maybe you are best to let both partners quote you so you can compare?

My credit history and rating is very good so would rather go with a company that offers the best deal for people with good credit and that’s not me being prejudiced against people with bad credit, just want more money in my pocket rather than the lender lol

That is what we advise our customers to do. Why lease a used car if you have good credit history you might as well lease a brand new car. The only catch it that you cannot keep the vehicle because you are leasing it, as in hiring it and you have to give it back. Where with PCP and HP you have the option to keep it.

All I’m after is a small car with a big boot if that makes sense, myself and my partner only drive about 3000 miles a year if that, I have a company vehicle and she works 1 mile away, and it must be automatic. I look on the net and there is so many web sites that you get confused by it all, I just need someone kind enough to help me in my search.

That is fine. Most contract hire deals come with at least a 6,000 mile allowance per year. You might as well use the vehicle as well and save even more money from your own car?

Many thanks. You have been very helpful. You are an ACE company!

Thank you.

We have an employee moving to Cornwall from Italy and he needs to lease a car for the first 6 months. For the first two weeks of his employment he will be in temporary accommodation. I would like to know if it is possible for him to lease a car directly with you if we provide a written employment reference confirming his position with us and his salary? the details entered (except the email and phone number) are his details. Please let me know if you need any further information.

I'm afraid to be able to lease a car in the UK, the applicant must be working and living in the UK for at least 3 years or more and very importantly must be on the UK Elections Register. This applies with all car leasing companies and lenders in the UK. You could lease the car in your name and make your employee a named driver on the insurance. However, you will be responsible if anything happened to the car.

Another option is to hire a car on a long term car rental agreement. Although costs more, with this option your employee fully responsible for the vehicle.
