Questions

Arrow downIs breakdown cover included?

All new cars will have a period of breakdown cover provided by the manufacturer, and this period varies by manufacturer & model. If you choose to take a LeasePlan maintenance package breakdown cover will be included, which also covers a replacement vehicle whilst yours is off the road (T&C's apply). Otherwise, you will need to arrange your own roadside assistance cover.

Arrow downWhat cars do you have in stock?

When you lease a new car, LeasePlan buy the car to fulfil your order. We will always try to work with you to find something suitable in stock with our national network of dealers, in which case we can usually deliver a vehicle to you within 10-14 days of your downpayment being received. If you choose a car that is not in stock we will order it from the factory for you, which usually takes between 12-16 weeks to arrive depending on the manufacturer. We have over 60 used cars in stock at any time, all of which we have owned & maintained from new and are available to lease. Please see the Used Vehicles section of our website to view our latest stock, and contact us for a leasing quote. You can also visit our used car remarketing site CarNext, we're based in Ballymount in West Dublin.

Arrow downWhat happens if I go over my contracted mileage?

There is an excess to pay at the end of the lease, charged per kilometer you drive beyond your contract mileage. This rate varies depending on the type of vehicle & length of the contract. If you know you are going to exceed your mileage & your contract is outside of the first 12 & last 6 months, contact us - we will be happy to discuss options to help you avoid an end of contract charge by re-writing your contract.

Arrow downDo I get my downpayment back at the end of the lease?

Your downpayment is used to offset the capital cost of the vehicle in your quote, reducing your monthly payments. The higher your downpayment, the lower your monthly cost. Downpayments are therefore not returned at the end of the lease. We will never ask you for a security deposit.

Arrow downDo you accept part exchange/trade ins?

We consider all trade in requests, subject to the vehicle being traded in. We sell all part exchange cars to a network of motor traders, and the price we offer will be the highest bid we receive for your car. The entire trade in value will be put towards your downpayment - we do not pay cash for cars either in full or in part.

Arrow downWhy is leasing better than purchasing?

Leasing allows capital to be freed up from non-income earning assets. LeasePlan take the risk on falling depreciation and re-sale values. We relieve the administration burden for your company as LeasePlan look after all aspects of the vehicle. Your fleet costs move from variable to fixed costs. A complete service package is incorporated into one monthly invoice. There is no initial deposit or equity usually required to start leasing with us.
