Throughout our trading history at CarLease UK, we have noticed a rapid growth in customers enquiring about eco vehicles and the availability of eco car leasing deals. Some customers are particularly environmentally conscious and, as such, wish to obtain a car or van which is more carbon emission friendly. However, most of our enquiries are brought about from business contract hire and business car leasing customers who need to reduce their exposure to benefit in kind (BIK), as part of the company car tax regulations.
For those new to the eco car leasing market (and perhaps those who need converting!) please find set out below a table which analyses some of the benefits of an eco car lease deal and the reasons to “Go Green”: For your company: For your staff: For the environment: The team at CarLease UK understand that many of customers, present and future, would all like to do our bit for the environment but "going Green" isn't always the easiest thing to achieve with today's ultra busy lifestyles. Many of us use our cars for a whole host of reasons, getting to work, going to the gym, delivering and collecting our children from school. However, with such regular use of transport inevitably results in a significant amount of CO2 emissions being produced on a daily basis. As we plan forward for future generations, these are becoming more and more important considerations in the Green debate. It is therefore unsurprising to discover that CarLease UK have selected a range of super mini, medium hatch/saloon, large hatch/saloon, coupe, estate, convertible, MPV, 4X4 vehicles, all of which have reduced CO2 emissions in comparison to other vehicles within their category. Not only can these vehicles save the environment and fuel but they can significantly assist company car users to reduce their exposure to Benefit in Kind (BIK) which, in today’s economy, is more the welcome! For the ultra-eco car lease deal hunters out there, why not consider the Honda Insight (link), using the Honda IMA system (integrated Motor Assist) which helps to minimise emissions and fuel consumption. The Toyota Prius with Hybrid Synergy Drive, offers smooth, quiet and a cleaner/more fuel-efficient performance.

If you could review the below some of the points below and the team at CarLease UK should be able to help you as efficiently as practicable: · Vehicle – which eco-car are you aiming to lease? It is important to identify a particular car in order for the team at CarLease UK to produce a quotation; · Term – how long do you need to lease the vehicle for? As eco leasing is a long-term vehicle method, the minimum contract period is 2 years and the maximum is 5 years. The rule of thumb is that the longer you lease the vehicle for, the less costly the monthly rentals will be; · Mileage – how many miles do you drive per annum? The cost for an eco lease car will depend on the miles covered, as this inherently linked to the depreciation of the vehicle. The more miles driven per year, the more expensive the rentals will be; and · Maintenance – while a contract does not have to include a maintenance package (to include the cost of servicing, maintenance and tyres), CarLease UK recommended that you do include this as part the lease agreement. As all contract hire vehicles must be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, it is often more cost-effective to utilise our maintenance programme.
