Business or private: there is always a lease form that suits you

Leasing is not only for business drivers, but also for private individuals. In the latter case we speak of a private lease and for business there is an operational lease or a financial lease. There is always a lease form that suits you and a Renault that fits in perfectly.

In principle, anyone can lease, but which type of lease suits you best depends on your personal situation. That is why it is good to first delve into the different lease forms.

Private lease and operating lease

The car industry has three well-known lease forms: private lease, operating lease and finance lease. The big difference between these three revolves around the question of who formally owns the car. With an operational lease, the lease company is the owner and the user pays a fixed amount per month that includes all costs. The private variant of this is called private lease and in that case all costs are covered, with the exception of fuel, parking and toll.

Thanks to the fixed monthly amount, which is mainly determined by the value of the car, the residual value and the kilometers driven, there are never any surprises. All costs – tax, insurance and maintenance – are included. This makes private lease an attractive form of lease for private individuals, while operational lease for companies means that there is still a lot of room for investment because the lease car does not appear on the balance sheet.

Lease drivers who travel a lot are looking for luxury, comfort and space, and feel good in a car with a modern, dynamic look.

Finance lease

Financial lease is a bit different. With this type of lease for entrepreneurs, the party who concludes the lease contract becomes the owner of the car, and that party also pays the road tax, insurance and maintenance costs. The monthly amount consists of the repayment of the loan of the purchase price of the car and the interest on it. The car will be placed on the balance sheet of the company, which entitles you to an investment deduction. There is no mileage limitation, as often applies to operational and private leases, with a financial lease.

Luxury and dynamism

Once you have determined your lease form, it is time to look for a car to go with it. And it makes sense that a Renault is on your shortlist, because the brand has a lot to offer. Lease drivers who travel a lot are looking for luxury, comfort and space, and feel good in a car with a modern, dynamic look. Those who travel a lot will find it in the Renault Arkana E-Tech full hybrid a perfect companion. In the city, the sporty-lined and spacious SUV coupe runs fully electrically up to 80 percent of the time, while the petrol engine excels in silence and economy on the highway.

Spacious SUV with hybrid technology

Choose the new Renault Australian E-Tech full hybrid, then you choose a spacious, luxurious and modern SUV with a modern dashboard. In it, the instrument panel and the infotainment system in the OpenR screen come together with the Google apps and Google services. With 147 kW/200 hp under your right foot, you always have plenty of power available and the E-Tech hybrid technology charges the battery while driving and braking.

Electric driving has been possible at Renault for a long time. The new Renault Megane E-Tech electric combines a range of up to 470 kilometers with sporty performance. During long journeys, the fast charging function ensures that a coffee break is long enough to get going again. Its innovative dashboard and digital instruments, full integration with Google and the remarkably rich standard equipment immediately place the new Renault Megane E-Tech electric at a high level.
