Car Leasing
Car leasing allows you to lease a brand-new car and gives you the flexibility to change your car every few years. You don’t need to worry about selling your car because at the end of the term you’ll hand it back.

- Its a simple and quick journey, whether you're just browsing, or you've found the car you want. Here's what you can expect.
Getting ready to apply
Let’s take a closer look
-
Yes they are. You can choose from thousands of brand new models.
-
No, there’s no option to own the car. When your lease ends you’ll have to hand the car back to us.
-
No it won’t. A soft credit check will be done, but this won’t affect your credit score.
The finance will only appear on your credit file if your application is successful and you finalise your agreement.
-
Leasing is exclusively provided by Lex Autolease Limited trading as Halifax. Bank of Scotland plc act as a credit broker and not the lender. Halifax is a division of Bank of Scotland plc.
They work with a network of dealers. When you place your order, they’ll look for one who can provide the car.
-
You won’t need to pay anything until your car is delivered. When you sign your leasing documents you’ll also set up a Direct Debit. Your first payment will be taken once the car has been delivered to you.
-
All lease contracts include the following:
- Use of a car for the duration of your contract.
- Free Great Britain (GB) mainland delivery.
- Vehicle tax is provided for the term of the lease.
- Full manufacturer’s warranty*.
*You need to consider the following with regards to the manufacturer warranty:
The warranty may expire before your contract ends depending on the term you have chosen. Refer to the manufacturer handbook for details of what is covered in your warranty.
If you have chosen a pre-registered car the remaining manufacturer warranty will be passed to you.
An optional maintenance service is available which can be used to cover the following costs:
- Routine services.
- Replacing tyres.
- Labour, parts and repairs.
- Breakdowns.
- MOTs.
You can choose to take the 'with maintenance' option when setting up your quote. Your monthly rental quote will be updated to include the cost of the maintenance for the full term of your contract.
Please note:
Optional maintenance is only available to take up at the time of your online application.
Repairs or replacements from accidental or malicious damage and damage caused by driver misuse or abuse are excluded. The car must be serviced in accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines and by an approved service dealer.
-
You’ll get an email which will give you an expected delivery date for your car.
Note: There are a number of things that can impact the delivery time of a car. Shortages of parts and other factors mean that it can take longer than usual for new cars to be delivered at the moment. Some prestige cars or cars with a lot of features can take longer. Pre-registered or in-stock offers may be available much sooner.
Your order will be tracked and you’ll be notified of any changes via email.
The dealer will contact you directly when your car is ready to be delivered and will arrange a convenient time to deliver the car to you. Deliveries generally take place Monday to Friday between 9am and 5.30pm.
-
Yes. There should be no problem with adding a private registration/cherished plate to your car. You’ll be charged an admin fee to add the plate. You’ll also be charged an admin fee at the end of your contract to remove it.
You'll be given more details on how to get in touch to arrange this in your welcome letter when your vehicle arrives.
-
Some wear and tear is expected but any extra damage that falls outside of the BVRLA (British Vehicle Rental Leasing Association) Fair Wear and Tear guidelines will be recorded and you may be charged.
