Short Term Car Leasing Ltd is one of the main players in the Short Term Car Leasing markets. With access to over 1000 vehicles, our vehicles can be made available quickly and we can be as flexible with the terms as possible.
We offer Audi, BMW, Citroen, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes, MINI, Volkswagen and Volvo which are mainly brand new or at least nearly new on a short term car lease. Be it flexible, fixed between 5-12 months or on a car subscription.
We offer a number of different short term car leases to suit you and your business, these are as follows:
Please see the sections below for an explanation of the deals that we offer here at Short Term Car Leasing Ltd.
We original started the business based on our experiences of working in dealerships and set the business up to be a contract hire and leasing broker, things soon changed due to the credit crunch and we were finding that the funders were tightening their underwriting criteria.
A major funder gave us a credit line, this enabled us to purchase 5x Audi A3’s and 2x VW Sciroccos, we started putting these vehicles out in a flexible short term basis. This soon became extremely popular and as of August 2019, we now operate over 300 vehicles on a short term basis.
Staff have changed over the years, but our ethics remain the same. We’re upfront about our costs and want our customers to read our return conditions at the beginning of the contract, to stop any nasty shocks at the end. We also help many non-status customers, new businesses and expats get into cars.
Whilst Car Subscriptions maybe a new word thats being passed around the car industry, we were one of the first companies to offer this service to both businesses and individuals. A subscription whereby you receive a car, maintenance, roadside assistance, warranty and all you need to do is fuel and insure the vehicle. We now work alongside 2 of the largest car subscription companies in the United Kingdom to expand our offering and vehicle range.
The vehicles that we offer on short term car leases are generally brand new or pre-registered with little or no mileage on the clock. Most of the vehicles come direct from manufacturers or suppliers and you can expect that they have been given the once over to ensure that they are up to the quality, we expect.
Return conditions are much stricter and short term car leases, car subscriptions and flexi-rent vehicles do not have to follow the BVRLA fair, wear and tear guides. We urge all customers to read these before taking out a contract.
The benefits of short term car lease or flexible car lease are endless but these can be ideal as they offer:
Short Term Car Leases and Flexible Leases can be ideal for businesses, should a member of staff leave you won’t be stuck with the car, initial payments are generally lower and you can refresh the fleet easier and quicker.

Its short term, easy and reasonable on costs!

Ex-Fleet and Ex-Rental Car Sales from Short Term Car Leasing LtdSave Hundreds against a new car price.
In 2019, Short Term Car Leasing Ltd made the decision to stop offering short term van leases on its schemes after over 10 years of operating LCV’s.
This was due to the high return standards that manufacturers and suppliers wanted the commercial vehicles to be returned in. Our feelings on this is that they are commercial vehicles and therefore will be used within a trade where damage may occur from time to time.
Manufacturers and suppliers have not accepted this and therefore, we made the difficult choice of removing the commercial vehicles from our platform.
