Which Car To Lease?

Choosing a contract car can be a big decision, given you probably have to drive it for the next three years or so. Will will often ask car leasing clients how they came to pick their chosen car, you’d be surprised how many people struggle to give a solid answer. Just as surprising were clients’ general responses to their chosen cars; a high percentage of them insisting they didn’t actually like the car they were driving.

Often, people will pick their hire car on an assumption that better cars would be out of their price range. It doesn’t hurt however to enquire with the leasing company regarding other vehicles they have within your price bracket; clients usually consider cars they can’t afford to buy to also be out of their price range when it comes to leasing. This however doesn’t always follow; a car can be more costly but if it holds its value well, it will not necessarily be more expensive to contract hire. It’s always worth enquiring with your leasing company, as they may have some good car leasing deals.
So you may consider an Aston Martin or Audi contract hire is out of your price range, whereas in reality in may be no more expensive that the car you’re already looking at.

Safety is a key consideration for a lot of families when hiring a car, and there are several ways you can check your chosen cars’ safety ratings. If you visit the Euro NCAP (www.euroncap.com) website you’ll most likely find your chosen car on their site, with rating for safety features..

Something which is often overlooked by people when hiring a new car is the colour they choose, which can be particularly important when relating to safety. Bright colours are considered to be the safest choices for cars, with yellow and white being top of the list. Red has always been seen as a safe colour, although it’s safety has now been disputed by several key pieces of research. Interestingly red has been found to be the colour of car most likely to be caught speeding. As you would expect then, it is generally accepted that dark coloured cars are involved in a higher number of accidents, with black and dark green topping the lists.
