Help deciding whether to lease or buy a car?

I am 24 years old, I've had a company car for 5 years but due to a change of direction I am now looking for a car, nothing flashy and something economical which I can use to get to and back from my place of work.
The place I am travelling to is in the countryside and really would save time to travel by car than public transport. (2 buses and a train!) As it is only guaranteed that I will be travelling to said place for 6 months, I am in a bit of a predicament about whether to buy or lease.

Is it relatively easy for a 24 year old to get a 6 months lease on a vehicle?

Would it be cheaper for me to buy?

Thanks in advance.
