Lease a Car Short-Term
Short-Term Leasing is an excellent choice for those who don’t want to commit to a 2/3 year car lease. With contract lengths between 5 and 18 months, our most popular contract lengths are 6 and 12 month car leases, why commit when you can change your car on a regular basis.
These are fixed contracts so if you did need a bit more flexibility, we’d recommend looking at our Flexible Car Subscriptions.
Available to both Business and Personal customers, these are ideal for covering probation periods, seasonal trends or for customer who love the smell of a new car very 6 to 12 months.
We offer flexible payment profiles, so you can put more down to bring down the monthly amount. Or if you want to put less down, just pay a bit more per month.

What is short-term car leasing?
Short-term car leasing allows you to lease a vehicle for a fixed period, typically between 6 and 12 months, without entering a long multi-year contract. It is ideal for drivers who need a car for a defined timeframe with predictable costs and no long-term commitment.
What lease lengths are available on short-term car leases?
Short-term car leases are usually available for fixed periods such as 6, 9, or 12 months. Each vehicle is tied to a specific contract length based on availability, and lease durations cannot be shortened or extended once agreed.
How is short-term car leasing different from car subscriptions?
Short-term car leasing is fixed and structured, with a set vehicle and contract length. Car subscriptions are more flexible and can often be changed or ended more easily. If you require flexibility, subscriptions are recommended; if you want certainty over a fixed period, short-term leasing is a better option.
Who is short-term car leasing suitable for?
Short-term car leasing is suitable for both business and personal users who meet standard credit requirements. It works well for contract workers, project-based roles, and individuals who know exactly how long they need a vehicle.
Are short-term car leases available to expats or new startups?
Not all vehicles are available to non-status customers such as expats or newly formed businesses. However, in many cases, these customers can be supported through car subscription options instead, which offer greater flexibility and accessibility.
Is insurance included with a short-term car lease?
Insurance is not included. The hirer must provide fully comprehensive insurance that meets UK requirements for the duration of the lease. This allows users to arrange cover that suits their personal or business needs.
Can I choose the specification or order a new car?
No. Short-term car leasing is based on existing stock only. Vehicles cannot be ordered to a specific specification, and availability depends on what is currently in fleet.
What costs are included in a short-term car lease?
Road tax, breakdown assistance, and manufacturer warranty are included. Maintenance is optional and can be added if required, depending on the vehicle and contract terms.
Can a short-term car lease be extended or ended early?
No. Short-term car leases are fixed to the agreed vehicle and duration. Contracts cannot be extended, reduced, or ended early. If flexibility is required, a car subscription is the more suitable option.
