Top 4 benefits of car leasing?

Car Leasing, Company News

Do you see a brand-new car down your road? Why not try leasing.

This week we are looking at the benefits of leasing.

First things first: what is it? Vehicle leasing is the use of a motor vehicle for a fixed period of time at an agreed amount of money. Pretty simple stuff, so what are the top 4 benefits…

1. Avoiding unforeseen expenditure.

Leasing a car, you will benefit from avoiding any unforeseen expenditure with a set of monthly payments scheduled throughout the duration of the lease agreement.

In addition to this benefit, you can apply an extra fee to the monthly bill in order to have maintenance and servicing covered. Definitely one more thing off your busy mind!

2. Vehicle depreciation? No worries.

Once the lease period has lapsed (usually two, three or four years), you simply return the car, not having to worry about the value of your vehicle decreasing because the job of selling it falls upon the lease company. Ensuring you’re always driving one of the latest models, no hassles.

3. Low monthly payments.

Monthly payments are often significantly lower than they are for buying a car on finance, meaning you could be driving your dream car WITHOUT the nightmare price hanging over your head.

4. Get the most for your money.

The cost of leasing compared with buying can vary depending on the make, model and version of your chosen vehicle. For example, a Ford Focus Estate 2.0 TDCi 140 Titanium 5dr depreciates quickly, retaining less than 40% of its initial value after three years, so this would definitely be cheaper to lease than buy.

Car leasing or purchasing… there’s only one clear option. Why not take a look at our latest offers? More information regarding vehicle leasing can be found here.

CVSL and AlphaElectric unveil new add on packages

Company News, Fleet Industry News

When considering incorporating electric vehicles (EVs) into your fleet, you might think they won’t be practical for occasions such as long journey distances, larger number of passengers or bigger load, but with CVSL this won’t be a problem.

In partnership with AlphaElectric, CVSL is proud to present its new mobility package add on, which allows access to a specified number of day’s rental (7, 12, 24 and 35) to suit your requirements. The rentals can be booked and tracked via our online platform and everything – even extra charges like delivery, collection and airport charges – is included.

CVSL and AlphaElectric are also offering a range of innovative electric products, take a look and choose the best one for your business:

AlphaElectric Chargecard

• Access to 85% of the UK’s public charging network
• Access to multiple Plugged In Places (PIP) Schemes
• Pay per use option

And to make it even easier, you can find the nearest charging points on the AlphaGuide App.

Flexible leasing options

The Discovery and Comfort packages offer a reduced risk approach to implementing electric vehicles into your fleet:

  • Discovery package: this package allows you to try before committing, giving you access to an electric vehicle over a 3 or 6 months period. It after that you decide an electric vehicle is a good idea for your business, we will offer a discount off your new lease.
  • Comfort package: our comfort package takes off the pressure of taking on a long-term lease, by offering reduced cost early termination (within 6 months) and the option to replace the electric vehicle with a traditional combustion engine vehicle.

AlphaCity Corporate CarSharing

When the journey is longer, passenger numbers are higher or loads are larger and an electric vehicle isn’t suitable, AlphaCity is an easy solution.

After registering, receiving their login details and card, all the driver has to do is reserve the vehicle for the time and date required using our online platform. Besides the convenience of booking online, there is also no need for a key, as the access cards act as the driver’s key.
