6 month contracts

6 month car lease

The term we quote most often. Long enough to beat rental pricing decisively, short enough to fit a contract role, a relocation, or the wait for a factory-ordered car.

In short

A 6 month car lease is contract hire fixed at six months. An initial payment covering one to two months' rental gets it started, then fixed monthly payments carry through to the return date. Road tax, manufacturer warranty, breakdown cover, servicing and maintenance are all included as standard; insurance and fuel remain yours to arrange. Fleet pricing currently opens around £399 a month plus VAT.

The reasoning

Why this particular length works so well

Six months sits at a genuine crossover point. Shorter than that, and daily or weekly rental still holds its own, because there's no initial rental to swallow and nothing locking you in. Longer, and the monthly rate keeps dropping as depreciation spreads further — but so does your commitment.

At the six-month mark you get most of leasing's price advantage while still being able to picture the finish line from day one. It's a genuinely strong fit for a fixed-term role, an academic term, a relocation, or bridging the wait on a factory order.

Worth asking about: if nine or twelve months is even remotely on the cards, get us to quote those too. The rate often falls enough that the longer term ends up cheaper in total, not just per month.

The monthly price

What's included

Maintenance is optional rather than standard on a fixed short-term lease — your quotation states which.

Included in your monthly payment

  • Use of the vehicle for the full length of the agreement
  • Road tax, paid for the whole term
  • The manufacturer's warranty
  • 24-hour breakdown cover
  • Delivery to you, and collection when you're done

Not included as standard

  • Servicing and maintenance — not automatic here, but most agreements let you add it
  • A fully comprehensive insurance policy, taken out in your name
  • Fuel or charging costs
  • Congestion charge, ULEZ and any other clean air zone fees
  • Damage that falls outside our return standards
  • Miles driven beyond your agreed allowance

Answers

Frequently asked questions

It's genuinely the most-taken term in our short-term range — most of the fleet is available on it. Structure-wise, expect one to two months' rental upfront, then five or six equal monthly payments before the car goes back.

Depends heavily on the car, but as a starting point: small hybrid hatchbacks on 1,500 miles a month begin near £399 plus VAT, mainstream estates and SUVs sit in the £500-£600 range, and premium or electric models push higher again. Whatever the figure, you'll get it confirmed in writing alongside the initial payment, mileage allowance and excess-mileage rate.

Very rarely — leasing usually wins by a clear margin. Rental pricing just doesn't drop enough at longer durations to compete. What you trade for the saving is a credit application and arranging your own cover, neither of which rental typically demands.

Set monthly rather than as one annual number — usually 833, 1,000, 1,500 or 2,000 miles. At 1,500 a month that's 9,000 miles across the full term. Need more? It's simply built into the monthly rate.

Usually, if there's availability — but raise it four to six weeks out, not in the last fortnight. If uncertainty about the exact date is the real issue, a flexible lease might actually suit you better: one-month minimum, 5 working days' notice, and the car's yours until it's three years old.
