Vehicle leasing

Leasing for cars, motorcycles and three-wheelers, with the vehicle itself as security.

Leasing versus a vehicle loan

Under a lease, the leasing company holds legal title while you pay monthly instalments, and ownership transfers at the end. Under a vehicle loan you own it from the start and pledge it as security.

What to check

  • Down payment is typically 20–50% of vehicle value
  • Terms usually run 1–7 years
  • Vehicle age affects both the term available and the rate
  • Comprehensive insurance is mandatory
  • Check early-settlement charges

On rates: leasing rates vary widely by vehicle type, age and term.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need guarantors for a lease?

Most leasing companies ask for one or two. The vehicle itself is the primary security.

Can I lease a used vehicle?

Yes, though the vehicle's age limits the available term and may raise the rate.
