Checking out Car Lease Company

kaznelson

Been reading the boards and have decided to lease my next car.

Does anybody know how to "check" out the leasing company? How can you tell the difference from good & bad?

Thanks in advance

The safest bet is to find the car you like, or shortlist a few, and then talk to the dealers to see if there is a manufacturer backed leasing package. These are normally the most competitive, whilst safe, way of doing an individual lease.

Unfortunatly there are not really anygreat ways of checking out a leasing company best you can do is look for one thats been around along time, as they must be doing something right.

There are alot of new companys just started up doing leasing and some of them are really terrible so I totally understand your worries.

It is exactly why I only use Total Fleet now they are a great leasing broker that have been around for about 15 years now.

Best you can do for checking a leasing company out is ask around to see if anybody has used the company before so you can get feedback on their experiances.

You could also check out the domain of the website for the comapny so if the site says they have been around for 20 years but their domain for the site is like 2 months old and has no PR then you know something does not add up, leasing companys rely on websites for their business.

Also dont be scared to ask them questions if you want info about something, a dodgy leasing companies will normally try to hide charges and stuff till the last minute then throw them at you, if they are upfront with you and let you know exactly what you have to pay for from the start then thats always a good start.

Not sure really what else you can do to check a comapny out before using it sorry.

The onesI have used recently are Purple Contracts and V1 both were fine.

Get some quotes and then see if anyone on here has used them. I'm quite gung ho in these matters but so far so good.
