Leases don’t typically include insurance. You’ll need to arrange your own policy, ensuring it meets the leasing company’s requirements.
Can I buy the car at the end of the lease?
Some lease agreements offer a purchase option at the end of the term. Confirm this with your provider if it’s something you’re interested in.
What happens at the end of the lease?
You return the car to the leasing company. They’ll inspect it for damage and excess mileage. If all is in order, you can start a new lease or walk away.
Can I terminate a lease early?
Early termination is possible but may involve a significant fee. Check the terms of your agreement for details.

Leasing agreements often include a maintenance package covering servicing, tyre replacement, and breakdown cover. Always confirm this when signing your agreement.
