What is leasing?
There are different lease forms, but in principle these forms are all the same. You pay a fixed amount per month and you can use the lease for this amount. Leasing is therefore a form of financing that can best be compared to renting. However, it depends on the lease form which costs are all included in the monthly amount. The most common lease forms are explained below.
Financial lease, operational lease and short lease
Financial lease is the only form of lease where you are the full owner of the vehicle at the end of the lease contract; as long as the contract is still running, you are only the economic owner. In principle, with a financial lease you buy the car on an installment basis. However, this also means that the car or company car will appear on your balance sheet and that you are responsible for matters such as insurance, repairs and maintenance. These are therefore not included as standard in the monthly amount with a financial lease.
(Full) operational lease is a lease form in which many costs, such as road tax, insurance, repairs and maintenance, are included in the fixed monthly amount. With this form of leasing, the car or commercial vehicle remains the property of the leasing company and you return the vehicle at the end of the lease contract. An operational lease is ideal if you are looking for convenience and want to have little to worry about the car.
Short lease is a form of operational lease. This also means that it has the same advantages as an operational lease, but with a shorter term. You conclude a short lease contract for a period of 1 to 12 months, after which it can be canceled monthly. This makes a short lease contract the ideal combination of convenience and flexibility.
Business or private lease
In addition to the different lease forms, it is also the question of whether you want to lease for business or private purposes. With a business lease car, you can lease the vehicle through your employer or you can lease the vehicle yourself as an entrepreneur or self-employed person. A business lease and private lease each have their own advantages. For example, you can drive with a private lease whenever you want, you do not receive an addition for private use and you can receive a mileage allowance for kilometers driven for business. With a business lease car, the costs for the lease and the VAT are deductible, but you will receive an addition if you drive more than 500 kilometers privately by car.
