Leasing A Car For 8 Months?

Lease terms usually go for years, not months. Not so with mycardirect, we’re specialists in car leases by the month. Our flexible car leases start from as little as 1 month, rising all the way up to traditional 3 year leases, and any length in-between. Looking to lease a car or van for less than a full year? You’ve come to the right place.

That’s not the only way we’re shaking up traditional car leasing! When you sign a standard lease agreement you’re locked in for the full term, with strenuous penalties for exiting the agreement early. Mycardirect short term leases are fully flexible, with the option to cancel early or extend your lease from month to month. So if your plans change you can switch over to a 7 month lease or extend to a 9 month car lease.

That Sounds Great, What Else Is Included?

No Hidden Fees: Mycardirect leases come with no hidden fees. When you go to order a car, just select the 8 month lease option and click “view breakdown” to see the full payment structure. Of course we have to get you approved before you sign your contract, and no money is taken until you do so. Mycardirect’s approval process is based on affordability, you can find out how the whole approvals process works here.

No Maintenance Costs: At mycardirect we pride ourselves on running a fleet of reliable, well maintained vehicles. But if you’re leasing for 8 months your car may well need a service or a fresh pair of tyres. We want your short term lease to be as stress and hassle free as possible, that’s why when you lease with mycardirect all routine maintenance and servicing is included in your monthly price. We even cover replacements for worn out tyres! See everything included with mycardirect here.

Extensive Fleet of Vehicles: Choose from our extensive fleet of vehicles, including the UK’s most popular car the Ford Puma, luxury cars like the Mercedes GLA, and electric options like the Tesla Model 3. If you’re thinking of going electric but aren’t sure if it’s right for you, a flexible lease from mycardirect is the perfect way to find out.

Low Deposits: No need for months worth of upfront payments! Most leases ask for thousands of pounds upfront, with the monthly payment decreasing in turn. But when you start an 8 month lease with mycardirect we just need the first month’s payment and refundable damage deposit up front.

Quick Delivery: No lengthy factory pre-orders and no arbitrary cooling off periods prior to delivery. Place an order online now and mycardirect can deliver anywhere in the UK typically within 3 – 5 working days.

I'm Coming To The UK For 8 Months, Can I Start A Lease?

The short answer is yes. You don’t need to be a UK citizen, UK resident or hold a UK driving licence to start a short term lease with mycardirect.

If you’re relocating to the UK for work, our short term leases allow you to take advantage of our great 8 month rates. Plus you’ll avoid the hassle of buying a car which might break down, and you’ll later have to sell.

Likewise if you’re frequently in and out of the UK, a short term lease from mycardirect means you won’t have to outlay thousands of pounds to hire a car, or worry about the trouble of keeping and insuring a car in the UK while you’re abroad.

I hired a car from this company at short notice to take an American friend of mine to the Peak District and then onto Liverpool. The staff were fantastic, very professional. The car was great and a special mention to Karina who sorted everything out for me. I recommend their services and would definitely use them again. It's top marks from me.

I was looking for a small SUV with automatic transmission for three months in the summer of 2023. My home is in north Northumberland and MyCarDirect delivered the car and collected it at no charge. The range of cars was extensive and I chose a Citroen C3 Aircross which was almost perfect. Its only downside was a lack of cameras or even a parking sensor, which I found unnerving on a strange car. When I mentioned this after the end of the subscription, my contact told me they would have swapped out the car had I mentioned this earlier. This was the last of many interactions with my contact at the company and is typical of the level of care I enjoyed. I'll certainly be using MyCarDirect the next time I'm looking for a subscription and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Good experience, only protective carpets are missing and would be great for protecting the original carpets from dirty shoes etc.

Worked with Jeffrey, Mark and Tony to set up delivery of a vehicle the day after we arrived in the UK after living in Canada for many years. Other vendors didn't seem able to facilitate a subscription with the time difference (-7hrs) and it became all too difficult so I gave up on them. Mycardirect were very responsive and went the extra mile to make sure all my questions were answered and a couple of issues resolved. Pricing was very competitive and a well equipped shiny new vehicle arrived as promised. I shopped around a bunch of vendors and they were by far the best.

The process was very straightforward and easy. Be sure to check with your sales advisor about the specs of the car you are requesting, as mine was advertised with a certain package, but not delivered with such package. MCD was quick to apologize and discount my rate to make up for it. Overall I am quite happy

After having a frustrating experience with an auto brand subscription service whose process demanded huge amounts of my personal information for what was extremely opaque and unhelpful process I almost swore off car subscriptions altogether. We contacted mycardirect to see what their process was and got a speedy callback from Duncan who was very reassuring and clear about what information they needed and how long it would take. I was able to get the car much faster and for a better monthly price than the other place, but more importantly the service is much more personal and you get to deal with actual people! Every step of the way the communication has been excellent and immediate and everyone we’ve dealt with at the company has been so lovely - particularly Mark and Tony who were both very patient with all my questions!

We have 12 cars with my car direct the service they provide is excellent in fact after the amount of let downs we have had from other companies who promise vehicles they are the only ones that always deliver, these guys do what they promise. Don't waste your time on companies that say they have high end cars they string you along. You will get what you want with My Car and as a customer we intend to add more cars to our fleet because of the brilliant customer service.

Mycardirect Hemel rental site was fantastic. Service from the office was second to non. Found the car l needed and did not price gouge when there were non available. The office ladies even helped getting me home on a train strike. Five star service, cars and price. Will be using every time as first option when the need arises.

Fantastic! Very professional and easy to work with. The entire process from start to finish was straightforward & clear and best of all you actually get to speak to a real person easily! I dealt with Michael who was outstanding in his customer service. Great cars - even better price compared to the usual rip off at the airport. Definitely worth the short journey from Heathrow to Hemel Hempstead to collect the car. I will definitely use this company again.

Fantastic service these guys offer! It's been an absolutely godsend having the choice and flexibility of cars and rolling contracts. I used them while I was waiting for my new permanent car to arrive. When it ended up arriving earlier than planned, I was able to adjust my subscription accordingly. The whole process has been completely hassle free! Great communication, added peace of mind and the car was delivered and collected to/from my home. I couldn't ask for anything more! I'll definitely be using them again and have already recommended them to friends and family. Thanks!

How Much Does An 8 Month Lease Cost?

Let’s face it, 8 months is an unusual term to lease a car, as such 8 month leases are a niche product. Perhaps because they’re hard to come by our bespoke 8 month leases have proven popular, as they offer much better value than long term rentals. Because it is an unusual term however, leasing a car or van for 8 months will typically involve a higher monthly cost than leasing for longer periods.

The monthly price will also be higher than a typical lease as mycardirect short term leases don’t include large up-front payments, you just pay for the first month and deposit when you start your lease. You can see the prices of some of our most popular 8 month leases below.

Car 8 month Lease Price
Citroën C3 Aircross £399
Nissan Juke £639
Ford Puma £665
Mercedes GLA £819
Tesla Model 3 £999

8 Month Van Leases

From compact vans to extra long wheel base Transits, we provide businesses across the UK with flexible vehicle solutions that scale with their needs.

If your business needs a van for less than a year, the traditional option is to hire one from a rental company. Van hire is still an appealing option if you need a van for 8 months, but 84 day hire agreements have their downsides, principally that the hire company can take the van back at any point after the initial 84 days. If you want to hire a van for 8 months with a rental company, you may well have to go through the rigmarole of changing it every 3 months.

Our 8 month van leases are regulated agreements, so unless you want to return the van early it isn’t going anywhere for 8 months. It’s the perfect solution for when you just need that extra security and commitment.

Our flexible 8 month business van leases come with everything you need. Every van comes with comprehensive maintenance, 24/7 breakdown cover, and generous mileage packages. You do the job, we do the van.
