With a private lease you can drive a brand new car for a fixed amount. Almost everything is included: whether it’s road tax, insurance, maintenance or breakdown assistance, you don’t have to think about it. You can get in for just over 200 euros per month. But which cars are actually the cheapest private lease cars? Below you will find a number of examples to guide you.
First of all, the following: private lease can be very advantageous, but it ultimately depends on your wishes and choices what the lease amount will look like. If you want a lease contract that is as cheap as possible, you will probably have to make a number of concessions. You will only find the lowest prices if you commit yourself for the long term and do not drive so many annual kilometers. In concrete terms, this often means that the contract lasts 48 or 60 months and that you are allowed to drive a maximum of 5,000 or 10,000 kilometers per year. The cheapest private lease cars are also pre-eminently small (city) cars, just like the cheapest cars to purchase.
