Always drive a recent car without buying it? This is how it works
Many car enthusiasts face the same dilemma. You want to drive a good, recent model, but buying a new car feels like a big financial step. And signing a four-year lease contract means you’re tied to one choice for a long time, while the car market simply keeps moving on in the meantime.
Flexible short lease solves that dilemma. At Total Car Lease, you take out a short-term contract from as little as 3 months and drive a well-maintained car without any long-term commitments.
What makes short lease different from regular leasing?
With a standard lease contract, you’re usually tied to one car for four years. That’s fine for many people, but it doesn’t always suit those who like to stay flexible or simply don’t know what they’ll need a year from now.
With short lease, you choose a term that suits your situation. After the minimum period, the contract can be cancelled on a monthly basis. Fancy driving something different after that, or no longer need the car? Then you stop, without penalties or hassle.
What is included in the monthly fee?
Short lease at Total Car Lease is based on an all-in monthly amount. This means that insurance, maintenance, road tax, tyres and roadside assistance are all included. You pay one amount and drive. The only thing you manage yourself is fuel or charging.
No unexpected maintenance bills, no need to arrange a separate insurance policy, no nasty surprises at the end of the month.
Who is this best for?
Short lease is not the most cost-effective option for everyone, but there are situations where it’s simply the smartest choice:
- You want to stay flexible and don’t want to be tied to one car for years
- You temporarily need a reliable car, for example for a project or in between cars
- You prefer to drive a recent, well-maintained model without the investment of a purchase
- You want to know exactly what your monthly costs are, without separate cost items
How quickly can you get on the road?
At Total Car Lease, all cars are available directly from stock. In most cases, you’ll be driving away the next working day. There is no down payment and no lengthy approval process.
For anyone who enjoys driving but doesn’t want to buy or be tied down for a long period, short lease is a logical choice. You have a good car, you know what it costs and you keep the freedom to switch whenever it suits you.
