Hi all,

I'm about to start a new job in a few weeks and wanted to know if anyone knew of a lease company where I could lease a car for 12 months 0 deposit as opposed to being locked in for 36 months?

Just looking for a year old car A4 or something for 12 months...

Any thoughts ?

    Lease companies rarely do zero deposit.

    Its likely to be at least 3 payments up front.

    A car hire company will give you a very competive rate for a long term hire (thrifty/enterprise)

    contact them and they might just do you a year rent agreement for the price of a lease without the upfront cost other than safety deposit

    12 months is costly, The biggest depreciation in the 1st year. And as mentioned zero deposit not likely.

    Buy a cheap runabout, Or get the bus/train for a bit.
