Short-Term Car Leasing Deals

They say that the average person leases a car for somewhere between 2 and 4 years. But what if you're, uh . . . not average.

Well, one of the great things about car leasing is that you get to choose how long you want to lease the car, whether that's for 4 years or just 1 or 2 – with or without a big initial payment. Keeping things flexible.

So for all of you short-termers out there, we've put together a list of all of the 12-month and 18-month car lease deals currently on our site.

Car leasing, without the long-term commitment.

Can I Extend My Lease During the Contract?

Suppose you decide partway through your lease agreement that 12 or 18 months is too short, and you want to hold onto the car for a bit longer (or a lot longer) than what you agreed to at the start of the contract. Well, the best thing to do in that situation is simply get in touch with your leasing company and simply ask them to extend the lease.

On the flip side of the coin, you can also give back your lease car early if 12 or 18 months turns out to be too long. Depending on the specific leasing company, you may have to pay a termination fee to do this – usually to the value of 50% of the remaining fixed monthly payments. So the closer you are to the end of the contract, the better.

FAQs about Short-Term Car Leasing

What is the shortest term for a car lease?

The shortest contract length when it comes to car leasing (Personal Contract Hire) is generally 12 months. Don't need a car for as long as that? Put in a special request to our leasing partners and see if you can take out a lease for even less time, though it's relatively uncommon.

Can I extend my car lease?

You can request to extend your car lease by contacting the leasing company and either requesting a formal extension (if you want to extend your lease for 6 months or more) or an informal extension (if you want to extend your lease for less than 6 months). Depending on the specific company, they may or may not accept your request – but nothing ventured, nothing gained!

What happens at the end of the agreement?

At the end of your short-term leasing agreement, somebody will come to collect your lease vehicle, and as long as you haven't exceeded the mileage or damaged the car beyond BVRLA fair wear and tear guidelines, you'll have nothing left to pay.
