We even include replacements for worn out tyres! See everything included with mycardirect here.

How Much Does It Cost To Lease A Car For 12 Months?
Mycardirect leases are structured a bit differently from traditional leases. Most car leases ask for a large initial sum upfront, equal to several months lease payments. This upfront payment lowers the monthly cost in turn. Mycardirect short term leases don’t include large up-front payments. Instead 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 12 month leases below.
| Car | 12 month Lease Price |
| Citroën C3 Aircross | £499 |
| Kia Stonic | £499 |
| Nissan Juke | £629 |
| Volkswagen Tiguan | £659 |
| Tesla Model 3 | £729 |
| Mercedes GLA | £849 |
Why Are Your Monthly Prices A Bit Higher Than A Typical Lease?
Remember the monthly price covers all maintenance, servicing, road tax, roadside assistance and replacements for worn tyres.
Because mycardirect leases are flexible and you can cancel at any point, we don’t ask for multiple months of payment upfront. This ensures that if you want to end your lease after only a month or two, you won’t have overpaid for the service you’ve received. Because we don’t take large upfront payments, our monthly lease costs are a bit higher than standard leasing companies, as that upfront payment is spread over the lifetime of the lease.
As we’re a flexible service if your car comes back we’ll need to find a new home for it, so our short term leases are priced a little higher to account for this flexibility.
What About Car Subscription?
You might know mycardirect as a car subscription company. That’s because we call our short term car leases car subscriptions; it’s just a different name for the same great service.

Mycardirect’s initial payment has 3 elements:
- A one off joining fee of £275 which makes you a member for life.
- A fully refundable damage deposit held until the return of the vehicle.
- The first month’s lease payment.
Please note that no monies are taken until you are approved, a vehicle is assigned and you have signed your contract.
Mycardirect lease agreements are flexible, so you can end your lease from month to month. There is no early return fee, but our rates differ depending on the period you subscribe for, becoming cheaper for longer leases.
If you return your car early, you will be recharged at the relevant rate, for the period you had the car for. For example: if you signed a 12 month contract, but returned the vehicle after 6 months, you would be charged the difference between the 12 and 6 month rates for each month you had the vehicle.

Our maintenance package includes the cost of maintenance, MOT, servicing and replacements for worn out tyres. Please note that accidental damage including punctures are not covered.
Mycardirect leases start from just 1 month, rising to 3 years depending on the vehicle. If you want to stay in your car beyond your initial period you are welcome to extend your contract, or roll your lease informally.
