INFINITI LEASING OPTIONS

Looking to Lease?

Leasing can be a great cost-effective option when you’re not looking to own. Learn the ins and outs of leasing a new car and see how INFINITI Financial Services is here to help.

WHAT IS LEASING?

A Long-Term Rental

When you lease a car, you enter into a contract with a company like INFINITI Financial Services and agree to terms around the vehicle’s use. These can include the duration of the lease, a yearly mileage cap, acceptable damages and the like. It’s a long-term rental and it offers lower monthly payments than financing. Here, you’re paying for what you use rather than paying to own.

How You Can Benefit

Lower monthly payments are great, but did you know there are other ways you can benefit from having a lease? Learn more about the perks of leasing and see whether it’s the right fit for you.

More Pocket Money

Leasing requires lower monthly payments, because you’re essentially paying for how you use your car, rather than 100% of the vehicle’s value. You’re also not being taxed on the total cost of your vehicle – only on what you pay per month.

How Leasing Works

When you lease, it’s key to understand residual value. In basic terms, it’s the dollar amount your vehicle is estimated to be worth after you’ve used it. With certain leases, based on your contract and how you use your vehicle, you may need to pay extra if the residual value ends up being lower than the number you agreed to upfront. That said, INFINITI Financial Services does not offer leases with these terms, so you won’t need to worry about assuming this level of risk.

Types of Leases

There are two types of leases: open-end and closed-end. In an open-end lease, the terms are often flexible, but you can be charged penalties if you go over your contract’s mileage or wear and tear limits. In a closed-end lease, the terms are more fixed, but the lessor takes on any risk associated with a vehicle’s depreciation in value.

Why Lease an INFINITI?

INFINITI Financial Services offers closed-end leases only, which means we guarantee residual value and assume certain risks at lease end. If you choose to purchase your vehicle and the market value is higher than the residual value, you come out ahead. If it’s lower, you can return the vehicle.

What an INFINITI Lease Offers

Our lease program allows for 24,000 km of driving per year. That’s about what the average Canadian drives. If you’re a high-use driver and expect to exceed the standard lease’s 24,000 km yearly limit, you may find it more economical to purchase extra km up front. Think you’ll drive less? INFINITI also offers flexible mileage options at a cap of 16,000 km and 20,000 km.


It's the difference between paying 8¢/km in the beginning and 10¢/km at maturity – yet another way your INFINITI retailer can tailor a lease to meet your needs.
