RECOMMENDED PROVIDERS
Why leasing is assessed differently
For a purchase, the purchase contract is the key evidence. For leasing, the lease agreement replaces this evidence. It must therefore provide more than a simple offer. The authority must be able to identify which vehicle is being leased, when the contract was concluded and who is applying.
If important details are missing, the application may be delayed or rejected.
These contract details should be visible
Pay particular attention to:
- Name of the lessee
- Vehicle type and vehicle identification number, once available
- Contract date
- Term
- Monthly payment and special payment
- Dealer or lessor
- Registration details
If the vehicle identification number is not yet available when ordering, it should be clear how it will be submitted later.
PROVIDERS
Do not calculate the lease payment without funding
Some offers advertise a payment that already notionally includes expected funding. Check carefully whether the payment remains affordable if the application is later rejected or delayed.
A calculation with two scenarios is safer:
- Costs with funding.
- Costs without funding.
Only if both scenarios are affordable is the offer genuinely sustainable.
Applicant and payment
The application should match the person who signs the lease agreement and uses the vehicle. Also ensure that the bank details match the applicant. Different names often lead to queries.

Leasing and wallbox
With leasing, the retention period is important in any case under the contract. At the same time, check whether a wallbox suits the contract term. An expensive installation may be less worthwhile for a short term.

Do not compare leasing offers only by monthly payment. Ask about funding documents, delivery time, registration assistance and wallbox coordination.
