Hi there
We are about to have our first child, and with everything surrounding lockdown, restrictions on public transport, risks with a new baby, and so on, we are considering leasing or hiring a vehicle for the medium term.
We live in inner London, and use Zipcar today, but availability of a vehicle when we need it is becoming an increasing problem due to elevated demand.
We are also likely leaving the UK early next year, so don't want to be tied in to a long contract.
Looking at long term hires (6, 9 etc months), they look very very expensive. 12- month leases seem to be a bit better per month, but by the time you consider the fact we will hand the car back early and no doubt have to pay out the rest of the lease, again, it looks expensive.
What would you do in our situation?
Thanks!
