Automatic Car Leasing

Automatic car leasing lets you drive a brand-new car with an automatic gearbox for a fixed monthly payment, then hand it back at the end of your contract. With no clutch pedal and no gears to change, an automatic is easier in heavy traffic and more relaxed on long journeys, whether you lease for personal or business use.

At Car Leasing, we offer a wide range of new automatic cars from leading manufacturers, including the BMW 1 Series, Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Volkswagen Golf, Kia Sportage and Toyota RAV4. Our automatic lease deals cover a range of budgets, body styles and fuel types, from compact hatchbacks to seven-seat SUVs.

Why Lease an Automatic Car?

Automatic cars have become more popular in the UK as drivers look for an easier drive and the latest technology. Here are the main reasons to lease an automatic car.

A smoother, easier drive. With no clutch and smooth gear changes, an automatic takes the effort out of stop-start traffic and town driving. Whether you are a new driver or simply want a more relaxed drive, there is no manual shifting to worry about.

Ideal for busy roads and city commuting. Congestion is part of daily life for many drivers. An automatic makes queues and roundabouts easier to manage and can reduce tiredness on longer journeys.

A good fit for new or nervous drivers. If you are not confident with gears, or you are a young driver, an automatic lets you focus on the road. If you passed your driving test in an automatic car, your licence only lets you drive automatics, so an automatic lease is the natural choice.

Built for hybrid and electric. Most hybrid cars and all electric vehicles are automatic. If you are thinking about moving to a lower-emission car, an automatic lease is an easy first step.

More choice than ever. Manufacturers now offer automatic versions across most of their ranges, from compact hatchbacks and family SUVs to premium saloons. Some newer models are only sold with an automatic gearbox.

Automatic Car Leasing for Personal and Business Use

At Car Leasing, we offer flexible agreements for both personal and business customers, making it easy to choose the contract type that works best for your lifestyle or company needs.

Personal Automatic Car Leasing

Personal contract hire (PCH) gives you a brand-new automatic car for a fixed monthly payment, with an annual mileage that suits you. You hand the car back at the end, so you do not have to worry about depreciation or selling it. An automatic lease is ideal if you want:

A smoother daily commute
A family-friendly car with modern safety features
An easier drive on long journeys
Predictable monthly motoring costs

All personal leases are subject to status and a credit check.

Business Automatic Car Leasing

Business contract hire (BCH) lets your company run new automatic cars for a fixed monthly cost, with no large upfront purchase. An automatic can also help reduce fatigue for employees who cover high mileage. Business contract hire is suitable for:

Limited companies
Small businesses and SMEs
Sole traders and partnerships
Fleets

VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim 50% of the VAT on the rental for a car that also has private use, and all of the VAT on a separately itemised maintenance charge. Company car tax (benefit-in-kind) is lower for electric cars. Check the details with your accountant.

Popular Automatic Cars to Lease

BMW 1 Series: sporty, premium and efficient
Mercedes-Benz A-Class: stylish design and a high-tech interior
Volkswagen Golf: practical, refined and consistently popular
Kia Sportage: a spacious family SUV, with hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions
Toyota RAV4: a hybrid family SUV that comes with an automatic gearbox as standard

These models are popular choices for both personal and business leases.

How Much Does It Cost to Lease an Automatic Car?

The monthly cost of an automatic car lease depends mainly on the car and the contract you choose, rather than the gearbox. The main factors are::

Make and model

Contract length, including 12-month car lease options

Annual mileage

Initial rental

Fuel type (petrol, diesel, hybrid, electric)

Automatic cars can sometimes cost slightly more than manual versions, but the difference is often minimal, especially when spread across monthly payments. Leasing also avoids the higher purchase price associated with brand-new automatic vehicles.

Customers benefit from fixed monthly payments, no concerns about vehicle depreciation, and the ability to upgrade to the latest automatic model at the end of the contract.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it cheaper to lease an automatic or a manual car?

Manual cars can sometimes be slightly cheaper, but the difference is usually small. Leasing spreads the cost monthly, making an automatic more affordable than purchasing outright.

What types of automatic cars can I lease?

You can lease most types of car as an automatic, including hatchbacks, family SUVs, saloons, estates, seven-seaters and premium models. All electric cars and most hybrids are automatic too. Use the filters in our deals grid to see the automatic cars available for your budget, contract length and mileage.

Can I lease an automatic hybrid or electric car?

Yes. All electric cars are automatic because they use a single-speed gearbox, and most hybrids and plug-in hybrids are automatic too. Browse our electric car lease deals and hybrid car lease deals to see what is available. For company car drivers, electric cars also have lower benefit-in-kind tax rates than petrol or diesel cars.

What happens at the end of my automatic car lease?

You hand the car back, usually by having it collected from your home or workplace. It is inspected against the BVRLA fair wear and tear guidelines, and you may pay a charge for damage beyond these or for going over your agreed mileage. You can then start a new lease on another car if you want to.

Is maintenance included in my lease?

Maintenance is optional, and you can add it to your agreement for complete peace of mind. This covers servicing, MOT (if required), and general wear items.

Do automatic cars cost more to insure?

Insurance varies by driver, model, and policy. Some automatics may be slightly higher, but not always, it’s worth comparing quotes.
