Latest Honda Car Leasing News & Blog

In regards to the car in the picture opposite.... I would like the sporting version in this colour and style for a period of 24months at 10Kmiles per annum. Please let me know the type of leases available to me. The best I have so far is £180 ppm for 24months at 10K miles per annum. Further more I haven't come across a leasing site that doesn't provide a contact number?....I would only be serious about the options until I have spoken to members in your company. Thanks.

Time4leasing is a price comparison website similar to price comparison websites for insurance. The phone number and full contact details of the company who is offering the best car lease deal is provided via email once you submit a form and quote request. If you check about us you will see photos and names of all the people that are involved with time4leasing. Does that make sense?

Fine that makes sense now, i'll be the honest the website isn't that clear. My lease runs out as of next month so need a new 2yr lease within the next month, I'm interested in understanding what your best deals are for the following cars, I am in buying mode All 24month deals with 10K miles per annum (ideally 0% deposit) up to £220 per month: BMW 3 series Astra GTC SRI (diesel or petrol) Mercedes A class Alfa Romeo (any style) Ideally looking for sporty models that are quick but good on fuel consumption. Hope you share with me some offers.

I'm going to disappoint you as all the cars you asked for are not available other than the BMW 3 but with £220 a month and 0% and 24 months that is not an option, unless you can raise £360 a month. By the way the cars you mentioned don't work out good on a car lease as they loose their value significantly and we both loose out. The best deals are the 4 year ex demo which are very flexible in terms of you can return or swap the car after 2 years if your credit history is ok. With 0% and up to £220, I recommend cars like the Astra, Insignia HB, Focus, Leon, Mini, Exeon, Mondeo, Avensis, Passat, Golf. There is even an Insignia Sport Model, 2 litre diesel engine, full extra trims including built in satnav for £215 a month and that is with the vat. Any of these of any interest? please let me know.

Ok not to worry. The cars mentioned could definitely be of interest, these being the VW Golf, Insignia sport, Mini and Leon. Please do let me know the 24 and 48 month leases on offer for these vehicles.

How is that coming along have you managed to get any figures together for me on the vehicles mentioned in my previous email? Look forward to your reply.

In the automated email it stated that you will be contacted by the funder who specialise in this type of lease and funding. They will email or call you direct. If you don't hear from them by tomorrow lunch time email me and I will fast track you. Is that ok?

That's great I will let you know. How does the 0% deposit work as I've never seen a lease that offers this before, surely there is something going in behind the scenes.

If you qualify for a 0%, how it works is the deposit is spread into the monthly payments. If you live too far away from the showroom you might have to pay a delivery charge but if you go and pick up the car you won't need to pay that either. Think there is a tiny document fee but that is it. Hope that helps.

How do you qualify for 0%?

If you have a healthy credit score history and you are employed you are more than likely to qualify for a 0% car lease deal.

I would just like to explore the possibility of a leasing arrangement I am in full time employment as a Technical Manager in the food industry on an annual salary of 40k. I have a history of bad credit accumulated with an ex partner and am now on my own rebuilding my status slowly. I would appreciate any options you may be able to offer.

Sure, we can accommodate your needs, just click on the bad credit link at the top of the page and then pick a suitable car in your budget range.

Yes please anything you can do it has just cost me £500 to get my car through its mot I think im fighting a losing battle!

Hi I am interested in leasing a car from for over 2/3years. Looking at Honda CRv, Audi A5/6 or Q7 Would like a call back to discuss prices & my options please. Thank you very much

If you have squeaky clean credit history then we can look into some ex demo Audi or Honda offers for you. If your credit history is not as good then sorry you cannot have an Audi but could do you a deal on BMW's as the terms are more flexible.

No my credit history is not too good. I have a car on fianance at the minute, it's a Golf. There is a year left but I'm looking to sell it & pay the remaining fianance then take out a lease car.

As much as we would like to lease you what you would like, we have to go by the funder's guidelines. A new Audi and Honda will be out of the question. If you answer these questions I will be able to get you a quote on something nice? Have you got a deposit to put down and how much? What is your monthly budget for the car lease including the vat? Or have a look at the ex demo range and see if you like something else? Sorry do not pick an Audi or Mercedes. Would you consider something like an ex demo BMW 3 or 5 series? as we have these in our fleet.

I like the BMW X6 in the ex-demo range. That would be within my budget around £420 a month. I have a deposit of about £2000 Would that be an option for me the x6? Many thanks

Sorry if you have bad credit history the prices are a bit higher. I assume you said £420 for the BMW X6 because you are looking at the cheapest model which is £429.98 plus vat. You do know you have to pay the vat? Forgot to say that as you have bad credit history, you cannot have any car you like in terms of value because the funder will only go up to a certain amount. Example if a BMW X6 costs £45,000 and the lease is £515 (inclusive of vat) you will have to pay the difference which is approx. £20,280 - your £2,000 is not enough. You might not have to pay this amount. If you tell me what your bad credit history is about, maybe I can find a way around you not paying it. Please out line your credit history to me, where you were and where are you today with it?

Ok, as far as my credit history I'm fine today I don't have any debt just my car on finance which I never miss my payments, and I have a credit card but iv just got that a few month ago to help build up my credit. but I had a catalogue, which I missed payments etc but paid it off a year ago & it's obviously still on my credit file. Also a mobile phone. Everything else is fine. It's just left a dent in my credit file so hard For me to get finance again.

That is the problem, even with these minor defaults you have, it looks bad when the funder does a credit check. You are more likely to get another car on a lease or finance via our company if you picked an ex demo deal. Cars like the BMW 3 M Sport (new shape), the Chevrolet Captiva, Qashqai, Juke, Kuga and possibly something bigger but we best pitch you somewhere affordable and once you get negotiating with the funder they may up the credit level. What do you think? Any of these cars of interest?

How much is the BMW 3 Series? What happens next? I was looking for a number to ring & speak to someone?

Hi although I am a banker working in Hong Kong, I am a British Citizen and I shall perform my Electoral Register when I am in UK. Regarding the credit history, if I am ready to pay an additional deposit, say 30% of the car price, and get the deposit back when I return the car, would I be able to do a contract hire? Or is it still more efficient to rent a car instead?

Although it might sound more expensive to hire a car (rent a car) you get everything taken car off. No worried for insurance, no worries for maintenance or anything other than putting fuel in the car. Then again you cannot lease a car anyway even if you wanted to.

I think hiring a car would be best and I will look at HireinUK.com as you recommended. Just one last question why cannot I not lease a car?

Leasing a car is like providing you with finance to obtain a car. If you have not worked or lived in the UK in the past 3 years then you cannot lease a car. You can however buy one out right but you would have to pay to full value. The rule applies to everyone even if you are a UK citizen.

What about if I gave you a huge deposit?

Sorry even if you gave a 30% deposit that will not work. In car leasing anyway the deposit is part of the payments. Maybe you are better off buying a second hand car but then you need to insure it, service it and tax it.

And why do I have to be on the UK Electoral Register to lease a car?

You are required to be already on the Electoral register, not shall be which of course is a good idea for future requirements. The idea behind the Electoral register is to establish your whereabouts and traceability. Our funders (more likely a mainstream bank) do not like financing people that have just come from abroad, as it is pretty easy to give you the car to drive for a while and then disappear abroad and leave the funder with a car that has devalued and resulting in them loosing money. Also they wouldn't be able to touch you if you go abroad. I would have thought as you work for a bank you would know all this?

So I guess renting a car would be better then for me?

As I said hiring a car would probably be best to get you mobile. I recommended for you to you to go to HireinUK. You will not get a quote from them but from one of the listed partners. Someone like Avis, Herts, Budget or a smaller company which would probably be cheaper.
