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
Flexible car leasing that moves when your plans do
A short minimum term, then a rolling agreement you can end with notice. The middle ground between a subscription's freedom and a fixed lease's price.
In short
Flexible car leasing means a lease that starts from one month and then rolls on until either side gives notice. Our notice period is just 5 working days, subject to availability and blackout periods. Servicing, maintenance, road fund licence, warranty and breakdown cover are included. Pricing is best from 90 days and over, and you can keep the same vehicle until it turns three years old — no forced swaps.
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.

A flexible car lease starts from one month and then continues on a rolling basis. Notice to return is just 5 working days, subject to availability and blackout periods. Pricing is at its best from 90 days and over, and you can keep the same vehicle until it turns three years old.
Just 5 working days, subject to availability and blackout periods — considerably shorter than most of the market. The exact terms sit on your agreement before you sign.
You can keep the same vehicle until it reaches three years old, with no forced swap partway through. Many flexible agreements run well past a year. Note that beyond 18 months the BVRLA fair wear and tear standard applies on return, rather than our own return standards.
Usually a little, yes. A flexible lease asks for a slightly longer minimum commitment than a subscription, and the pricing reflects that — but the gap isn't huge. If maximum flexibility matters most to you, take the subscription.
The minimum term is contractual, so you'd be liable for it. That said, the minimum on a flexible agreement is short by design, so the exposure is limited compared with exiting a 48 month lease early.
