Leasing a car can be a much more affordable way to drive around London in a brand-new vehicle. When buying a car, you pay out a large upfront fee or take out a finance deal, while leasing gives you the flexibility to pay fixed monthly instalments and the flexibility of choosing from a range of car leasing options, too. You can also choose to include the cost of maintenance and servicing in your agreement, potentially saving you money in the future and reducing the amount of time you spend off the road.

Compact models like the Nissan Qashqai, Volkswagen Tiguan, and Mercedes-Benz A-Class Hatchback are popular, along with electric and hybrid options for eco-conscious drivers such as the Tesla Model 3.

We offer options for individuals with poor credit. Contact us to discuss tailored solutions to meet your needs.

Explore our current offers, select your vehicle, and contact us to finalise your lease. We’ll handle the rest, including free delivery.

Yes, you can lease a car in London that meets ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) compliance. In fact, the majority of new and many used lease vehicles available through Nationwide Vehicle Contracts meet the required Euro 6 emissions standards for petrol and diesel vehicles, or are fully electric or hybrid, making them exempt from ULEZ charges.

If you visit our main car lease deals page, you can set your Monthly price, and the list will refresh with live offers that match your budget. You can also narrow by body style, fuel type (petrol, diesel, hybrid, electric), and look for what vehicles are in stock for the quickest delivery to London postcodes.

Absolutely. You can browse all available models and tailor your lease to suit your needs. That includes choosing Personal or Business contracts, selecting your lease term (typically 24, 36, or 48 months), and deciding how much you’d like to pay upfront.

The initial rental can range from 1 to 12 months. As a rule, the more you pay upfront, the lower the monthly rental (though the total cost over the term is broadly similar).

Annual mileage options usually run from 5,000 to 37,500 miles per year. Need more? Get in touch as some funders can offer contracts up to 50,000 miles. Just note that very high mileage can be less cost-effective, and going over your agreed limit will incur excess mileage charges.

In short, yes, our quotes and contracts are fully tailored to the model you choose and your preferences on term, mileage, and initial rental.

Option 1: Extend Your Lease

If you’re not quite ready to part ways with your lease, you may be able to extend it on a rolling monthly basis. It’s a great short-term option while you explore your next steps. Just keep in mind that extension terms may vary, and costs could be slightly higher than your original agreement.

Option 2: Start a New Lease

Happy with your vehicle and want to continue leasing? You can renew your lease with a new model.

Option 3: Return Your Vehicle

You can simply return the vehicle when your lease ends. Make sure it’s in good condition and within the agreed mileage limit to avoid any additional charges. We recommend reviewing the wear and tear guidelines beforehand for a smooth handover.

Insurance isn’t included in your monthly rental. You’ll need to arrange fully comprehensive insurance for the full term of the lease, with the finance company recorded as owner/keeper where required.
