Small Car Lease Deals 2024 | carwow

carwow has partnered with MotorEasy to provide GAP insurance. GAP insurance covers the difference between the amount you owe on your car if you have a leasing agreement, and the amount an insurance company would give you if your car is declared a total loss or write-off. This can protect you financially from a shortfall of potentially thousands of pounds. MotorEasy is offering a 15% discount to all carwow customers who take out GAP insurance with them.

Why lease a small car

Small cars are perfect for those seeking practicality, efficiency, and ease of manoeuvrability in busy environments. Leasing a small car provides access to a wide variety of compact models that are ideal for city driving and everyday use, without the long-term commitment of ownership.

The main appeal of small cars lies in their affordability and low running costs. They are fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly, and easy to park, making them a great choice for urban dwellers or anyone looking for a cost-effective vehicle.

While small cars are generally less expensive than larger vehicles, leasing allows you to enjoy the benefits of a modern, reliable car with manageable monthly payments. It also offers the flexibility to switch to a new model after a few years, keeping your driving experience fresh and up to date, all within your budget.

Small car lease FAQs

What happens at the end of my small car lease?

Once your lease deal ends, you simply hand the car back to the lease provider. You can then either start again with a new car and a new contract, or walk away.

Assuming you haven’t exceeded your mileage allowance and there’s no damage beyond normal wear and tear, you shouldn’t have any additional fees to pay.

For more information, read our guide on what happens at the end of a car lease.
