Where can I get lease prices for company cars?

Hi,

Where can I get estimates or comparisons on the lease prices for company cars? I have a monthly allowance but have no visibility on the charges quoted from our appointed multi national leasing company. I suspect I am not getting the best lease deals available from other local suppliers. The lack of transparency in the lease market seems to lend itself to the dominant position of a major multi national leasing company.

Hi Donal,

Sadly you’re right – as with so many things in Ireland, transparency in the car leasing market is rather lacking and it’s not at all easy to either get comparisons or to make sure that those are direct and fair comparisons.

There are a couple of sites such as www.autoleasing.ie which do offer some comparison ability, but they don’t cover all brands so it may not be the answer you’re looking for. My best suggestion for the moment is to sit down and have a good chat with whoever looks after your company’s leasing and see what they can do to help. They’ll be much more plugged into the market and may be better able to assist.
