Large families looking to get a reliable car for everyday commuting (school, shopping etc), family trips and other activities would benefit from a highly reliable car. Car leasing involves getting the perks of a shiny new car that will be extremely reliable and forgo any commitment to a depreciating vehicle. Leasing and PCP (another form of car finance) are now the most popular forms of car purchasing and allow you to get a brand-new car for less.
You can find a really good deal to save money
Car leasing companies run as independent brokers, meaning they have more wiggle room when it comes to setting prices compared to car dealerships and manufacturers. Car leasing deals can change daily meaning some days you will find an amazing deal and other days it’s worth waiting. Keeping this in mind you can nab yourself a great family car at competitive market rates that will help to keep monthly costs down.
Bide your time and review all the different prices before going ahead as you will want to find the best deal possible. It’s actually very possible to lease even Audi or Volkswagen cheaply, as leasing makes premium brand vehicles very affordable.
You get to drive a better car for you and your family
An important rule for large families is that a car needs space! You can buy a used large 7-seater car but below certain prices you will be taking a hint to your cars age, reliability, interior quality and accessories. Leased cars are always brand new. Meaning you get a brand-new engine, the highest possible reliability for those long family trips and an interior chock full of accessories for the kids!
You get modern safety technology to keep your family safe
Another important rule for large families is that their vehicle needs the absolute best modern technology to keep you safe during your transit. Bumps and bashes are unfortunately a part of driving and some can be far worse than others. Modern cars are equipped with better technology to keep your family safe. Better crumple zones, front and rear parking sensors, self-parking, parking cameras, collision detection alerts and much more. Driving modern vehicles means you’ll be far safer than driving a 10 to 15-year-old one. No worries about trying to sell a car after an accident.
You get a reliable car to get your family to their destination without worry
Want to do that 200-mile journey to your dream caravan location? Worried about whether your current used and abused family car will get you there without breaking down? Cast those worries aside with a leased car. As mentioned before, leased cars are always brand new, modern cars that have never seen any road miles. This means they will be extremely reliable for longer journeys and you won’t have that lingering thoughts of “what if?”
You get a structured contract and payments to ensure less worrying about money
With leasing you get a contract with structured payments that never change. This can help you to take control of your monthly spending and budgets as you will always know what to expect. This may not be the case with used vehicles as issues can appear that unfortunately will eat into your expenses. If you bought a used car from a less than reputable dealer with little to no service history, that car could be a few miles off a £1000+ engine rebuild from lack of service. It’s far easier to spend £150 each month leasing a brand-new family car with no problems.
Avoid dealing with MOT scares
New cars don’t need an MOT test until they’ve reached their 3rd year of use. If you lease a vehicle for 3 years you will always hand it back exactly as the MOT runs out. This means you won’t have to worry about any MOT failures for the entire duration of your contract. MOT failures can sometimes mean paying up to and over £500 to get your used car back to being road-worthy. You certainly want to avoid any money pits like that!
