Leasing a car

Hello,
I wonder if you could help me. My husband has just got a contract for 4 months (starting Sept) and he will be commuting over 100 miles a day. He has done this type of commute before but the car he has at the moment is on its last legs. We don't want to invest money in a new car at the moment so we were thinking of leasing a car for 4 months.
Is it possible to lease a car for 4 months? Also, does anyone know of a good leasing company? He would be looking at getting an Audi A4 or similar.
Any help would be much appreciated.

No, you can't lease a car for 4 months. You can hire them though from a hire car firm and get unlimited mileage.
Leasing deals usually have a minimum of 24 months with a few months lease upfront.
Due to the depreciation a new car has the lease firm needs longer leases than this to make any money.I beep for Robins - Beep Beep

As above really.
You should get a decent deal from a hire company though.0 -
Some leasing brokers do deals on long term rental (i.e. month to month) or short term lease (6 months, etc.) but only on cars that have been lease-returned usually (i.e. already 12-24 months old).0
