A lease is basically a long-term rental agreement, offering the use of a car or van for a fixed period at a guaranteed monthly rental. If you are a business, this is the most cost efficient method of funding vehicles as it makes use of the tax and vat regulations to reduce the running cost of vehicles. The biggest cost of running a new vehicle is depreciation, and many new cars and vans will lose more than half their initial value after the first three years of ownership. Often the lease payments will be less than this depreciation. Rather than buying on finance often paying a large deposit, with a lease you simply pay a small initial rental, followed by fixed monthly payments. At the end of the lease you simply hand the car back and walk away. The job of disposing of the car is the responsibility of the leasing company.
