Which Contract Type Suits An Expat Move?
Most expat and overseas customers start on a car subscription or flexible lease while they settle in — both can be arranged before you land, need only 5 working days' notice to end, and don't assume a long UK credit history. Once you've built up UK residency and banking history, many customers move on to a fixed-term lease or a traditional 2-3 year contract for a lower monthly rate.
A higher documentation fee and, in most cases, a refundable deposit apply to expat and overseas applications — our underwriters will confirm the exact figures for your circumstances before you commit.
