You don't know what the difference is between leasing and buying a vehicle? We list the most important differences between Private Lease and buying for you. The monthly rent of your Private Lease car seems somehow high to you, but it is important to know that at Arval, you will benefit from different services that are included in that monthly rent.
The graph below gives you an example of the spread of costs over the lifetime of a purchased car and a lease car.
Fixed monthly cost for the vehicle's depreciation and interest (or loss of interest) plus other recurring expenses: insurance premiums, breakdown assistance, etc.) and exceptional expenses: repairs, tyres, etc. = PEACE OF MIND |
