Leasing vs buying
Not sure whether to lease or buy? Here's an honest comparison to help you decide.
Side by side
The same premium car, two ways to drive it.
| Leasing | Buying | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Deposit only (0–30%) | Full price or financing |
| Monthly cost | One predictable payment | Loan + running costs, variable |
| Flexibility | Switch cars at term end | Sell first, then switch |
| Maintenance | Options inside the monthly | Your arrangement, your cost |
| Depreciation risk | Provider's problem | Entirely yours |
| Ownership | No — full use, no asset | Yes — an owned asset |
| Best for | New car regularly, predictable costs | Long-term keepers, very high mileage |

What our clients say
Monaco
Marc D.
From first WhatsApp message to delivery in under a week. Transparent pricing, no surprises at signature — exactly what they promised.
Geneva
Elena K.
The estimate on the site matched my final quote almost to the euro. One monthly payment, everything handled.
Luxembourg
Tomas R.
I compared five leasing providers. Rentolux was the only one that published real monthly figures instead of teaser prices.
Dubai / Nice
Adrian W.
Asked for a car that was not in the catalogue. They sourced it and delivered to Nice within two weeks.
Courchevel
Sophie L.
Halfway through the term I wanted to switch cars. They swapped it in ten days, no drama.
The questions that decide it
Is leasing cheaper than buying?
Month to month, leasing usually needs far less capital than buying outright, and the cost is predictable. Over a long ownership horizon, buying can be cheaper — which is why we show both sides honestly above.
Who owns the car in a lease?
The leasing provider owns the car; you have full use of it for the agreed term and mileage. No resale hassle at the end — hand it back or switch to a new one.
What happens at the end of the term?
Return the car, extend, or move into a new model — most of our clients simply switch to the next car.
