Leasing

Service

Car leasing, whether private or business, is a form of long-term vehicle leasing. In essence, it is a form of financing that allows individuals or businesses to use a vehicle for a specific period of time without having to purchase it. The leasing agreement involves the payment of a fixed monthly rent for the use of the vehicle.

There are two main types of leasing:

1. Operational Leasing:

- It includes the use of the vehicle for a specific period of time, usually from 1 to 5 years.
- At the end of the lease period, the vehicle is returned to the lessor (the leasing company).
- The monthly rent usually includes maintenance costs, insurance and other related services.
- There is no option to acquire the vehicle at the end of the lease, although there may sometimes be an option to purchase at a fixed price.

2. Financial Leasing:

- Similarly, it allows the use of the vehicle for a certain period of time.
- At the end of the lease period, there is the option (or obligation) to purchase the vehicle at a predetermined price (residual value).
- It usually does not include maintenance and insurance costs, which are covered by the lessee.

Advantages of Leasing

No capital commitment: The lessee does not need to commit a large amount of money to purchase the vehicle.
Up-to-date equipment: Gives the ability to change the vehicle with more modern models every few years.
Fixed costs: It offers predictable and fixed monthly costs, which may also include maintenance and insurance costs (in the case of operational leasing).
Tax benefits: In many cases, leasing costs are tax deductible as business expenses.

Car leasing is a flexible solution for those who wish to use a vehicle without the need to purchase, offering financial and operational advantages, especially for businesses that need a fleet of vehicles.
