How Much Does It Cost?

LEASING COSTS EXPLAINED

Leasing a vehicle has become a very popular and cost effective way to finance your personal or business motoring.

Leasing a vehicle is effectively a long-term rental – you simply pay a fixed monthly fee to have full and exclusive use of the vehicle for an agreed time period (2 to 5 years) and pre agreed number of miles.

The low monthly lease costs are driven by a number of key factors which enable LTL to agree pre set monthly lease charges

What is the Lease Rental?

This is the monthly cost of leasing a vehicle, on our website Personal Leases will have their rental expressed as a VAT inclusive value , whilst Business Leases will be shown excluding VAT.

The Lease Rental is a monthly charge that will be fixed for the duration of the lease and no other lease charges will be made providing that the vehicle is returned at the end of the Lease term within its contracted mileage parameters and in a condition that is in line with independent industry standards.

The Lease rental will include the cost for :

Depreciation (i.e. the fall in value from when the vehicle was new to the forecast sale value when the vehicle is returned at the end of the contract)
The Cost of Financing your Vehicle
Vehicle Registration Cost & Vehicle delivery costs
Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) for the initial and future years. Subject to the finance company policy future year price increase in VED may be chargeable
Full Manufacturer warranty

The Lease rentals displayed on our website will NOT include maintenance costs, however you are able to include this in your monthly rental.

When you lease a vehicle you normally need to pay a initial rental, sometimes referred to as an up-front payment. This is usually expressed as a set number of Lease rentals ( typically between 3 and 12 lease rentals) and is an advance rental payment and the amount you pay will have a direct impact on your monthly lease rental.

Initial Rental

When you lease a vehicle you normally need to pay a initial rental, sometimes referred to as an up-front payment.

What is an advanced rental?

This is usually expressed as a set number of Lease rentals (typically between 3 and 12 lease rentals) and is an advance rental payment and the amount you pay will have a direct impact on your monthly lease rental.

Worked example of an advanced rental.

Total rental payable over a 3 year period for your chosen vehicle is £7,600 excluding VAT.

Options you have include

If you choose to pay a 3 month initial rental followed by 35 monthly rentals then your initial rental would be £600 (3/38th of £7,600) followed by 35 payments of £200 (£7,000).
If you choose to pay a 9 month initial rental followed by 35 monthly rentals then your initial rental would be £1,554.57 (9/44th of £7,600) followed by 35 payments of £172.73 (£6,045.55).

Under both examples the Lease rentals paid over the total contract are the same and sum up to £7,600

Do I need to pay a lease rental?

Certain vehicle finance companies may require a minimum Initial lease payment and this will be confirmed at the vehicle order stage, this may be due to your personal financial circumstances/credit history or down to being a standard policy from the finance company.

The company should also be highlighted that as the Initial payment relates to a part payment of the total rentals payable it is not a deposit and is non-refundable.

When does it need to be paid?

The initial rental is payable to the finance company, the payment date is usually 7 to 14 days after you have taken delivery of your vehicle, however some finance companies may require payment prior to delivery.

We will confirm subsequent payment dates when you order your vehicle.

What you need to check.

When comparing your options for the most competitive leasing deal it is important that you factor the initial rental into your total costs, some businesses may advertise a very low monthly vehicle lease rate as they have factored in a very high initial payment.

Our recommendation is that to compare deals you do a simple calculation:

Initial Rental + Admin Charge + (Monthly Rental x Number of Rentals Payable) = Total Amount Payable Over Contract

Admin Fee

We charge a one off Administration Fee which is in addition to your monthly rental charge. This fee helps cover the costs we incur when providing the vehicle lease sourcing service we offer. For example our website costs, customer service executives, arranging your vehicle hire agreement, vehicle order documentation processing and organising the delivery of your new vehicle. The Administration Fee is payable by debit or credit card or by BACs payment. This payment will only be taken when we have received finance approval from the vehicle funding company and you have signed your order form confirmation instructing us to place your order. Please note that Credit Card payments are subject to a 1.95% additional charge which is levied by the credit card processing company.

Maintenance

If you own or lease a vehicle you will need to ensure that it is maintained in line with the manufacturer advised service schedule. This will give you the assurance that the vehicle manufacturer warranty remains valid and that the vehicle's performance and safety is as it should be

What You Need To Do

Keep it serviced

It is important to service your vehicle so that the parts which wear down over time and usage can be checked and replaced as needed.

Follow manufacturer guidelines

A full service is usually required every 12 months or 12,000 miles, however every vehicle is different, so to find out what needs replacing and when (known as 'service intervals'), you should check your vehicle handbook.

Watch for warning messages

I you see any warning messages please act promptly it could contain important information about your vehicle.
