Frequently asked questions

What is a lease transfer?
A lease transfer (also called a lease takeover or lease assumption) allows someone to take over the remaining payments and terms of your existing car lease contract. It's a way to exit your lease early without paying costly early termination fees.
How does LeaseTransfer.net work?
LeaseTransfer.net connects lease holders who want to exit their contracts early with people looking for short-term, affordable leases. List your lease transfer, get matched with interested takers, and arrange the transfer directly through your leasing company.
Can I transfer my car lease in the UK?
Yes, but it depends on your leasing company's policy. Most major UK lease providers allow transfers with their approval. Check your lease agreement or contact your provider to confirm their transfer process and any associated fees.
How much does it cost to list a lease transfer?
Listing your lease transfer on LeaseTransfer.net costs just £34.99. This is a one-time fee to create a listing and connect with potential lease takers.
What are the benefits of taking over a lease?
Taking over a lease gives you a shorter commitment (often 6-24 months remaining), lower upfront costs compared to a new lease, and access to vehicles that may be better equipped or more affordable than starting a new contract.
How long does a lease transfer take?
Once you've found a match, the transfer process typically takes 2-4 weeks. This includes credit checks by the leasing company, contract review, and final approval. The exact timeline depends on your leasing provider.
Am I responsible if something goes wrong after the transfer?
No. Once the leasing company approves the transfer and the new lessee takes over the contract, you are released from all future obligations. The new lessee assumes full responsibility for payments, maintenance, and end-of-lease terms.
