Probation and new roles
Starting a job that may or may not become permanent. Three months in, you'll know — and the agreement can follow either outcome.
Flexible leasing
A lease built to move when your plans do
Short tie-in, then a rolling agreement that ends whenever you give notice. It sits deliberately between a subscription's total freedom and a fixed lease's lower price.
In short
A flexible car lease opens with a one-month minimum and then rolls on from there until either party gives notice — ours needs just 5 working days, subject to availability and blackout periods. Servicing, maintenance, road tax, warranty and breakdown cover all come as standard. The rate sharpens once you're past 90 days, and the same car is yours to keep until it turns three years old, with no swap ever forced on you.
Use cases
Where flexible leasing earns its keep
Rolling contracts
Contract work that extends in three and six month blocks. The vehicle agreement extends the same way instead of fighting it.
Uncertain relocations
Moving to London without knowing if it's for a year or five. Start flexible, convert to a fixed term once you know.
Seasonal staffing
Vehicles for staff whose contracts run to demand rather than the calendar. Add and remove without penalty.
Sale or purchase pending
Selling a car, buying a flat, waiting on a completion date that keeps slipping. Flexible absorbs the slippage.
Cautious EV switchers
Try electric with a real escape route if the charging situation turns out not to work for you.

It opens with a one-month minimum, then just carries on rolling from there. Ending it takes 5 working days' notice, subject to availability and blackout periods. The rate improves once you're past 90 days, and the car stays yours until it's three years old.
5 working days, subject to availability and blackout periods — noticeably shorter than the norm elsewhere in this market. You'll see the exact wording on the agreement itself before signing.
The car's third birthday is the only cap, and there's no swap forced on you before that point. Plenty of flexible agreements run comfortably past the twelve-month mark. One thing to flag: past 18 months, returns get assessed against the BVRLA's fair wear and tear standard rather than our own.
Usually, by a modest margin — the minimum commitment here is a touch longer than a subscription's, and the price reflects that small difference. If maximum flexibility is what matters most to you specifically, a subscription still edges it out.
You'd remain liable for it — it's a contractual minimum, not a guideline. The upside is that minimum is deliberately short on a flexible agreement, so the downside if things change is nowhere near what you'd face breaking a 48-month lease.
