Short-Term Leasing
Short-Term Leasing: Fixed-Term Vehicle Leases From 5 to 18 Months
Short-term leasing is a fixed-term alternative to a subscription: you agree a set contract length at a fixed monthly rate. These agreements typically start from around 5 months and run up to 18 months, with 6-month and 12-month contracts by far the most popular lengths across our partner network. If you need a vehicle for less than 5 months, a car or van subscription (from one month) is usually the better fit – use the Vehicle Finder above to compare.
Short-term leasing is a strong fit for contractors on a known assignment length, businesses covering a fixed-term gap, insurance replacement periods, and anyone who wants a defined start and end date rather than a rolling agreement.
Why choose short-term leasing?
Fixed monthly cost
Your rate is agreed upfront for the full term, so there are no surprises.
Typically 5 to 18 months
6-month and 12-month contracts are the most popular lengths – shorter needs are usually better served by a subscription.
Known end date
Useful for planning around contracts, secondments or fixed projects.
Cars and vans available
Fixed-term leasing is available across both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
