Car leasing, also known as personal contract hire (PCH), is a popular form of car financing. It's essentially a long-term rental, where you'll make fixed monthly payments in exchange for the use of the car for a set period. Then at the end of the lease agreement, the vehicle is returned. From here you can either choose to upgrade to another car of your choosing or end the contract completely.
With a lease agreement, you can also choose to include a maintenance package in your monthly payments, which will cover things like servicing. This is always an advantage for first-time drivers.
A car can be leased by almost anyone. One of the few exceptions is if you are under the age of 18. So, if you pass your test but are still 17, you must wait until your next birthday to apply. Another thing to keep in mind is that, as with all financing options, a credit check will be performed. Most lenders will be searching for evidence of a good credit history, which can be difficult to demonstrate if you're a younger driver that hasn't had time to build one.
The answer will always be determined by your personal and financial situation. If you want to buy a car outright, the more money you have to spend, the better. While you can get a cheaper, older car, there's always the risk that it won't be as reliable and will cost you more than that in repair bills in the long run. Admittedly, many new cars are not cheap, and even with financing, the variables of depreciation and future resale value must be considered. But this is where leasing can come in handy.
Leasing has grown in popularity because it is a cost-effective way to obtain a brand-new vehicle. As a new or newer car, it ensures improved fuel consumption, which reduces costs, as well as modern safety features. You're also protected by a warranty, and if you choose to also include the additional maintenance contract, you won't be worried about any servicing or unexpected maintenance costs.
