New cars are becoming increasingly expensive and this price increase is also reflected in the monthly amount for private lease. However, there are still cars that you can lease privately for a maximum of 300 euros per month. Private leasing is popular. And why not? For a fixed amount per month you can have a new car. This amount already includes things such as road tax, maintenance and insurance – you only pay for the petrol. So you also buy a large portion of ‘care’ – a nice word for stress-free driving without fear of expensive repairs.
But it is becoming increasingly difficult to conclude a private lease contract for a modest amount. Which cars are available for a maximum of 300 euros per month, how many kilometers can you drive and how well equipped are the relevant models? For 300 euros per month you can choose between 7 cars on our private lease page:
- Toyota Aygo X – 249 euro (72 mnd, 5.000 km)
- Hyundai i10 – 259 euro (72 mnd, 5.000 km)
- Fiat 500 – 276 euro (72 mnd, 5000 km)
- Mitsubishi Space Star – 279 euro (72 mnd, 5000 km)
- Suzuki Ignis – 279 euro (72 mnd, 5000 km)
- Fiat Panda – 288 euro (72 mnd, 5000 km)
- Toyota Yaris – 299 euro (72 mnd, 5000 km)
All contracts shown are for 5,000 kilometers per year, which is very low mileage. From figures of the CBS it turns out that Dutch passenger cars traveled an average of 11,000 kilometers per year in 2021. In the meantime, this number is likely to have risen even further as numbers continue to recover from the coronavirus pandemic. Another important aspect to keep an eye on is the duration. All prices shown are based on 72 months – or 6 years. This does not have to be a problem if you do not expect your situation to change in the next 6 years. If you are less certain about this, this could be a potential stumbling point. Especially because breach of contract can be a costly recovery. Unless there are certain circumstances. Some models shown are also available with a larger mileage package and a shorter term, and you still stay within the budget of 300 euros per month. Something to take into account.
