About the 3-year car lease

A three-year car lease lets you drive a new or nearly new vehicle for 36 months with fixed monthly payments based on depreciation, financing, and taxes. It typically includes mileage limits, condition requirements, and full warranty coverage, while offering lower monthly payments compared to shorter leases.

What our customer say

3-year car lease FAQs

Can I lease a car for 3 years?

Yes, you can definitely lease a car for three years. It's a popular option that balances lower monthly payments with the chance to drive a new car under warranty, and often includes road tax and breakdown coverage.

Is a 3-year car lease a good idea?

A three-year lease is a sensible choice if you prioritise lower, fixed monthly payments and don’t mind not having the very latest technology. It’s often considered the “sweet spot” of leasing for many drivers.

Can I get out of a 3-year car lease early?

Yes, you can end a three-year lease early, but it usually comes with significant costs, such as an early termination fee (often 50% of the remaining payments), charges for damage or excess mileage, and a possible impact on your credit. We recommend contacting your leasing company to check the exact costs, as terms vary.

Should I lease a car for 3 years?

Leasing a car for 3 years is a popular choice if you want lower monthly payments, a new car with the latest tech, and coverage under warranty and road tax. It’s great for frequent upgrades, but you won’t build equity, must follow mileage and condition limits, and it can cost more long-term than buying.

Is it better to lease a car for 3 or 4 years?

It depends on your priorities. A three-year lease balances lower monthly payments with a newer car and minimal maintenance, while a four-year lease lowers payments further but means handling the first MOT and potential extra upkeep. Choose three years for flexibility or four years for maximum savings.
