The Best Short Term Car Lease

A short-term lease is a type of contract where a car is leased for a shorter period of time than the standard lease term. It can also be considered a type of long-term car rental!

Typically, a standard auto lease is up to 5 years, but a short-term lease can last anywhere from a few months to 24 months. It’s a little longer than a typical monthly car rental from standard car rental companies and as a consequence, more affordable!

Short-term leasing is often used by people who need a car for a temporary period, such as for a work assignment, a temporary move, or a vacation.

Leasing a car for the short term can be a good idea for some people, depending on their individual needs. Short-term car leases offer more flexibility and allow you to lease a car for a few months or a year without making a long-term commitment. This is especially beneficial if you need a car for a temporary period or want to try out different vehicles. 

Additionally, at FINN, you benefit from no need to take a car loan as we require no down payment! The absence of an auto loan gives you that extra level of financial freedom and a carefree driving experience!

Short-term car leasing and car subscriptions are both alternatives to car ownership, but they work in different ways.

Short-term leasing is a form of car leasing that usually lasts up to 24 months and involves the driver making monthly payments for the use of the vehicle. The driver may also have the option to purchase the car at the end of the lease term.

A car subscription, on the other hand, is a more simple way to enjoy the freedom of a new car without having to deal with the hassle of insurance, maintenance, and paperwork. Unlike leasing or buying, the driver pays one transparent monthly fee that includes everything needed to hit the road: insurance, maintenance, registration, and emergency roadside assistance.

The cost of a short-term car lease can depend on a number of factors, such as the make and model of the vehicle, the lease term, the amount of the down payment, and the mileage. In general, short-term leases are cheaper than long-term leases.

At FINN, you get an all-inclusive monthly package that covers insurance, maintenance, and depreciation - all with no need to pick up your car, we will deliver it right to your doorstep. Additionally, you get a free mileage limit of 850 miles per month. Since we work with insurance and maintenance providers, you benefit from a low rate for these services.

The shortest time you can get a lease contract depends on the leasing company, but generally, the terms tend to be a few years long with no easy exit opportunity. With FINN, you can subscribe for 1 year and if after the first year, you would like to try a new model, you can easily do so with no need for a lease trader or a lease takeover.

If you prefer to skip additional costs and rely on a monthly, transparent rate, a car subscription may be a better choice. At FINN, you can subscribe to a car for as little as 6 months.
