Questions This Cluster Answers
What actually makes up a lease payment?
Depreciation (the gap between capitalised cost and residual value), the finance or rent charge, taxes, and any fees rolled into the contract. A lower monthly payment often means a bigger upfront payment or a longer term.
Which clauses cost lessees the most?
Mileage overage rates, excess wear and tear definitions, early termination charges, and maintenance obligations. Read these four before comparing headline monthly figures.
Is leasing an electric car different?
Residual values move with battery technology and incentive policy, and national purchase subsidies change the effective monthly cost, so the same model can lease very differently between markets.
