In short

Arranging a short-term lease takes five steps: tell us the requirement, receive a written quotation, complete an application, get approved, and take delivery. In-stock vehicles can be delivered in as little as 3 to 5 working days from a signed order form and payment. At the end of the agreement we collect the vehicle — there is nothing to sell and no residual value risk sitting with you.

Start to finish

The five steps

Tell us what you need

Vehicle type, roughly how long for, monthly mileage and your delivery postcode. That is enough to start. If you are not sure whether you want a subscription or a fixed lease, say so — that is our job, not yours.

Written quotation

Monthly payment, initial payment, mileage allowance, excess mileage rate, delivery charge and lead time. All of it in writing, before you apply for anything.

Application

A short online application, business or personal. We will tell you exactly what documentation is needed first, so you are not chasing paperwork mid-process.

Approval

Straightforward applications are often decided the same working day. Specialist cases — new companies, overseas structures, non-status — take longer because a person reads them.

Delivery

In-stock vehicles can arrive in as little as 3–5 working days from a signed order form and payment. Delivered to your home or business anywhere in mainland UK.

Handing it back

At the end of the agreement

This is where leasing gets a bad reputation, usually because of end-of-contract charges people were not expecting. Here is exactly how it works.

  • We contact you first. Typically four to six weeks before the end date, to arrange collection or discuss extending.
  • Mileage is checked. If you are over your allowance, the excess mileage rate you were quoted at the start applies. There is no new number.
  • Condition is assessed against our own published return standards, not the BVRLA fair wear and tear standard. If you keep the vehicle beyond 18 months, BVRLA fair wear and tear applies instead. We follow the BVRLA code of conduct throughout.
  • Damage beyond those standards is rechargeable. If you know about a kerbed alloy or a cracked screen, getting it repaired yourself is usually cheaper than being recharged.
  • Then it is finished. No sale, no part exchange, no negotiation over what the car is worth.
Our advice: read our return standards at the start of your agreement, not at the end. They are short, they are published, and they remove almost every end-of-contract surprise.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

Our shortest agreements start at one month on selected vehicles, though the majority of our fleet is supplied on terms of 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. Anything under three months usually works out better as a subscription than a fixed lease, because the initial payment on a very short fixed contract can be disproportionate.

In-stock vehicles — generally those with a GL or GPC supplier reference — can be delivered in as little as 3 to 5 working days from a signed order form and payment. If a credit line is already in place it can be sooner. Pre-order vehicles depend on the supplying fleet's schedule, and we will always give you the honest lead time before you commit.

There is an initial payment at the start of the agreement, usually equivalent to one to three monthly rentals — that is rental paid up front, not money held on account. Separately, we may also take a refundable deposit. Whether one is required is subject to status, and the amount is set by the underwriters. Both figures are shown clearly on your quotation before you commit.

No. You arrange your own fully comprehensive insurance, which gives you control over the policy, the excess and your no-claims record. We can introduce you to a specialist broker who is used to writing cover for short-term and subscription agreements if your current insurer is awkward about it.

We collect the vehicle. There is nothing to sell, no part-exchange to negotiate and no residual value risk sitting with you. Short-term vehicles are assessed against our own return standards rather than the BVRLA fair wear and tear standard. If you keep the vehicle beyond 18 months, BVRLA fair wear and tear does then apply. We follow the BVRLA code of conduct at all times.
