Why choose car leasing?

Car leasing is an increasingly popular and flexible way to drive a brand-new or pre-owned vehicle without the long-term financial commitment of ownership. With a lease contract, you pay an initial payment followed by regular monthly costs over the lease agreement term, which typically ranges from two to five years. At the end of the lease, simply return the vehicle and upgrade to a new model if you choose. This means you can regularly enjoy the latest cars without worrying about depreciation, road tax, or major maintenance costs.

Hippo Leasing offers both personal lease and business lease options, catering to the needs of individual drivers and companies alike. Business leases can provide significant tax advantages and improve cash flow by using credit rather than capital.


Who does a Smart ForFour lease suit?

A Smart ForFour lease suits urban drivers looking for a stylish, compact vehicle that is easy to manoeuvre and park. It's also ideal for small families or couples who need the practicality of four seats without compromising on ease of driving. If you prefer a larger or smaller car from the same brand, consider the Smart ForTwo for an even more compact option or the larger Smart #1 SUV for more space.
