Flexible leasing is a useful alternative for many reasons, but especially if you are waiting for a new car. Here we explain why and what this leasing model offers.
Why is flexible leasing a good option while waiting for a new car?
Flexible leasing, known as subscription, is an ideal option if you are thinking of buying a new car. Why do we say this? Imagine you have a holiday booked, a getaway to the coast or you are simply comparing offers, but you are not 100% sure.
What happens if you have already sold your old car and can no longer use it? What happens if you have a breakdown that cannot be fixed and forces you to buy another car, van or motorcycle? These cases are more common than you think and can easily affect you personally, but it can also affect companies in the process of restructuring their fleet. There are specific situations that need a solution and these are just some of them. In the end, you obviously shouldn’t rush into buying a new car but, sometimes, you cannot simply stop driving; in this case, a temporary solution is required.
Here we describe some of the practical advantages of flexible leasing while you wait for your new model. These are:
1. Flexible leasing offers short-term contracts
This is the main advantage of flexible leasing. With this option you can access subscriptions of between 3 and 9 months. These periods are perfect to cover that period of uncertainty that can sometimes make a huge difference. Therefore, it offers a competitive advantage over buying a new car without considering every detail or if you opted for a traditional lease that, legally, cannot be for less than 12 months. Obviously, this can save you a lot of money because the early cancellation of a traditional lease incurs big penalties.
Short-term contracts are a guarantee of greater flexibility and to avoid overspending. And, precisely for this reason, they allow you to better manage these specific situations. And all of this without renouncing the other benefits of this method for gaining access to a vehicle.
2. A multitude of options available
A company that specialises in this service can offer you a whole host of different options. For example, you will find different cars, vans and motorcycles available. And, what's more, they can be brand new or pre-owned. This will also influence the monthly fee, depending on your needs at any time. The result? It is easier to get a price adjusted to your current situation. Economy is also taken into account in times of energy transition to electric and hybrid models.
3. Everything is included in the contract
Another interesting feature of flexible leasing is that all you have to worry about is fuel. Everything else is included in the contract. Insurance, maintenance, roadside assistance and applicable taxes are all covered. It offers peace of mind and saves unnecessary paperwork over a short period.
Think about all the legal processes that have to be carried out while you change cars: purchase, financing, insurance, registration with the DGT, paying taxes... This option simplifies the matter and you can focus on driving, only paying for the fuel you use.
4. Deduct expenses and taxes
Leasing is tax deductible on your Income Tax Return or Corporate Income Tax, as long as it is being used professionally. Specifically, the fees are up to 100% tax deductible if the use is exclusively professional, and 50% if it is a mixed use. Therefore, it is a good way to make a saving for the time it is used. However, we recommend that you be rigorous in the attribution of expenses.
5. Possibility of extending the contract
Sometimes, we can't be in control of everything, whether it’s the delivery of the new vehicle or the purchase... In these cases, flexible leasing allows you to extend the contract if you need to. Any unforeseen events can be resolved and you will gain peace of mind if the time to make the change is extended for a short time. This is one of the advantages provided by this alternative to standard leasing. If you are looking to reduce risks, this is the best way to do it.
Therefore...
Flexible leasing is an ideal opportunity to gain peace of mind while you change cars or get your car fixed. OK Mobility has a lot to offer, both in terms of contract periods and ranges, models and prices.
