Leasing a Fiat vehicle with the purpose of eventually acquiring it is fairly different from purchasing one directly from a Fiat dealership, though it is not easy to discern the key differences between the two options.

There are two primary ways of car leasing: Personal Contract Purchase (in which a fixed, used purchase price is guaranteed at the start of the leasing period) and Personal Contract Hire (in which an agreed contract period, usually ranging from 12 up to 48 months, ends with the return of the car to the leasing company). In the latter arrangement, a fixed monthly payment along with a payment covering the forecasted depreciation of the car will be paid, plus interest. Other ways of leasing include Finance Leasing (in which the lessee is obligated to ultimately purchase the car); Short Term Contract Hire (the lessee gets the use of the car for a fixed, short period ranging from 2 to 24 months); and Business Contract Hire (the leasing of a commercial car for an agreed period ranging from 24 to 48 months).

Leasing a Fiat car can have several benefits, as compared to buying one outright, depending on the individual’s requirements. Various finance options offer better benefits to companies and businesses than for individuals, however, there also other options that favour the individual over the business-user. Generally, leasing a new Fiat vehicle will cost less than funding the car through a loan. Worries about the car’s maintenance and repair are greatly reduced, since many people lease a Fiat car for a shorter period than the car’s warranty.

The car leasing being offered includes contract hire on all models of Fiat. Among the Fiat cars available for leasing are the Fiat 500, Fiat Panda, Fiat Grande Punto, Fiat Bravo, Fiat Sedici, Fiat Qubo, Fiat Multipla, and the Fiat Doblo. These models of Fiat cars are widely available at very affordable prices.
