Key things to consider when leasing a new vehicle

<div>OK, so you've taken the plunge and decided to lease a new Volkswagen or Ford. Well done! You've made a great choice. Leasing a vehicle has a great range of benefits and will inevitably save you money in the long run. Your lease options will obviously depend on if you're leasing the vehicle as an individual or a business. Whatever your needs, there is a range of key factors which need to be considered before signing your new lease agreement.</div><div><br></div><div>1. Mileage allowance: There's no point in taking a lease vehicle with a mileage allowance of less than 10,000 miles if you know for a fact you're going to be travelling up and down the country on a regular basis. Although you might think you're initially saving yourself money taking a cheaper lease, you won't be happy when you get a huge bill because you've doubled, tripled or even quadrupled your mileage allowance. You need to be realistic when it comes to mileage allowances. It may take a while to sit down and work out a realistic figure but it could really make a difference in the end when it comes to sticking to your budget.</div><div><br></div><div>2. CO2 emissions: In the past a vehicle's CO2 emissions weren't considered important, however that's all changed now. A number of incentives mean vehicle leasers are now actively looking for vehicles with minimal CO2 emissions. Although they might cost more than their non eco-friendly equivalents, these vehicles ultimately save you money in the long run. This is because they require a lower rate of car tax and can offer other tax-related incentives.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>3. Lease details: When choosing a lease vehicle it's important to look very closely at your contract. Key things which should be included in the lease fee include maintenance costs, servicing costs and a low initial deposit. Most leasing companies are happy to negotiate so you should be ready to haggle. You also need to ensure you are aware of your options once the lease expires.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>4. Insurance: You need to ensure you make the right decision when it comes to insurance. If insurance is included in your lease then make sure it covers you for your driving needs e.g. personal or business. If insurance isn't included in your lease then you &nbsp;need to a. make sure you can afford it and b. make sure you've taken out the right sort of insurance for your requirements.</div><div><br></div><div>If you follow these tips then there's no reason you can't have a fantastic <a href="http://www.centralcontracts.com/manufacturer/van/volkswagen/">Volkswagen lease vehicle</a> or excellent Ford leasing deal in no time!</div><div><br></div>
