City Car Leasing and Contract Hire

A city car is a small and compact vehicle designed to be driven in urban environments and for short-distance travel. City cars typically have a small engine with low fuel consumption, making them very economical for the stop-start nature of city driving.

They also prioritise manoeuvrability over practicality, optimising interior space to help contribute towards small dimensions that allow for easy inner-city parking and driving.

The cheapest city lease cars can vary depending on various factors such as current lease offers, and specific preferences. However, some of the affordable city lease cars often include:

• Hyundai i10
• Fiat 500 Hatchback
• Kia Picanto
• Volkswagen Up Hatchback
• Suzuki Ignis

It's important to note that car lease deals change over time, so it's advisable to check our website or consult with your sales adviser to get the most up-to-date information and explore the lease options that best fit your budget and requirements.

Finding the best small car depends on several factors, including personal preferences and specific needs. However, the most popular choices include the Hyundai i10, Fiat 500, and Volkswagen Up.

Small cars are great for first-time drivers. For more information, check out our comprehensive guide on the Best First Cars for New and Young Drivers.

Prices to lease a small car range from around £150 per month to £440 per month. Prices may vary if you include extras in your lease deal, such as a higher specification or maintenance cover.

Please be aware that our city car lease deals frequently vary, and stock lease deals sell out quickly, so if you spot a leasing offer that interests you, be sure to register your interest as soon as possible to guarantee you don't miss out.

Leasing a small car is perfect for those who live in an urban area and want a practical and reliable vehicle.

Small cars are economical to run, come with a good range of standard kit, and are perfect for inner-city driving as they are manoeuvrable.

The Kia Picanto is one of the cheapest city cars to run. It has low monthly rentals, is extremely reliable, and has relatively low insurance premiums. 

It’s great on fuel, returning a combined fuel economy of 58.9 miles per gallon, depending on the model. Its 1.0-litre engine also only emits 110g/km of CO2, which limits road tax and BIK tax rates.
