As with a typical lease, you essentially buy a brand-new vehicle, agreeing with the manufacturer that they will buy it back at a certain date and price. The period of such lease can be no less than seventeen days and no longer than 360 days. You make just one, up-front payment essentially equal to the difference between the buying and selling prices. Surprisingly, in many respects these leases are easier to arrange and more flexible than are rentals. What's more, they tend to be much cheaper.
Several factors contribute to the relative ease of such short-term leasing.
Only a few quick communications with an agent are necessary to set things up. It's preferred you place your order at least a month in advance, but it is quite possible to make arrangements on much shorter notice. Taking delivery simply involves showing up at a European airport or city office, signing a few papers, and taking off in your brand-new vehicle. Returning the vehicle is even easier. The potential monetary savings, however, are the most intriguing aspect of a lease.
