As we emerge from the coronavirus crisis, there may be various reasons why you require a fast, flexible and low-cost mobility solution, including:

• Your focus is on ensuring business continuity and mobility is key to your core business
• You are uncertain about the future of your business and want to safeguard liquidity rather than tying up your cash in long-term commitments
• Your mobility needs have changed following the crisis.

In all of these cases, used car lease (which is also known as ‘occasion lease’) could be an interesting option. UCL offers you all the advantages of operational lease: flexibility, access to a high-quality vehicle and no upfront financial investment. But additionally, because a UCL vehicle is no longer brand new, you benefit from lower costs, leaving more cash available to spend on your core business.
