Expat Car Leasing & Subscriptions
Moving to (or back to) the UK for work? We make car leasing straightforward — no UK credit history required to get behind the wheel.
Relocating to the UK, or returning after time abroad, often means arriving without any UK credit history — which makes traditional car finance difficult. Our expat leasing and subscription options are designed to remove that barrier.
To qualify, customers must have a UK residential address and be able to provide proof of UK income. This service is designed for those living and working in the UK, and is not suitable for short UK travel or leisure hire.
Whether you need a short-term subscription while you settle in, or a longer flexible lease, our team has years of experience supporting overseas professionals moving to the UK.
