Operating leases are no longer just a modern trend, but an increasingly common choice for those who want to drive without the hassle and worry. Whether businesses, sole traders or individuals, more and more people are discovering that owning a car is not the only means of efficient mobility.

Despite this, there are many myths about operating leases that can cause unnecessary concern. At AVIS MaxiRent, we deal with these myths every day and know that most of them are only created because of misconceptions about how operating leases actually work.
 

So in this article, we'll take a closer look at the most common myths about operating leases and clarify what's really true.

Myth No. 1: "It's not worth leasing because the car will never be mine"

This is the most common myth about operating leases.

Yes, you don't own the car in an operating lease - but that's just the point.
Because of this, you don't have to deal with:

You only pay for the period during which you actually use the car and simply return it or exchange it for a new one when the contract ends.
For many people, this is a much better option than investing thousands of euros in a car whose value decreases every year.

Myth 2: "Operating leases are more expensive than buying a car"

At first glance, it may seem that a monthly lease payment is higher than a loan payment. However, if you factor in everything that's included, you'll find that it often works out more favourably.

For example, with an operating lease from AVIS MaxiRent you get:

With your own car or a finance lease, you would have to pay for all these expenses separately.
An operating lease therefore gives you the security of fixed costs and no unexpected extra expenses.

Myth 3: "Operating leases are only suitable for businesses"

This myth is no longer valid.
Today, operating leases are used not only by companies, but also by private individuals who are looking for an easy and convenient way to always have a reliable and worry-free car.

Thanks to flexible terms and conditions, you can choose the length of the lease according to your needs - for 3 to 12 months.
This means that even as an individual, you can enjoy a new car with no strings attached, no credit and no need to deal with servicing or selling.

Myth 4: "I can't drive where I want with a leased car"

Many people think they are restricted with a leased car - for example, they can't travel abroad or have to strictly adhere to a mileage limit.
But the truth is different.

With AVIS MaxiRent, you can drive all over the country and abroad, and if you need more mileage, you just need to agree it in the contract in advance.
At the same time, you're covered for 24/7 roadside assistance to help you wherever you are in Europe - whether it's a breakdown, puncture or accident.

Myth 5: "It's not worth leasing if I use the car every day"

On the contrary, that's when it pays off the most.
If you drive often, the risk of wear and tear, breakdowns and service costs increases.With your own car, you would bear all the costs yourself, whereas with an operating lease, the lessor does.

Servicing, repairs, tyre replacement and insurance claims are all covered in one monthly payment.
So you can drive every day without worrying about being surprised by an unexpected expense.

Myth No. 6: "When my lease is up, all I have to worry about"

Some people worry that ending a lease will be complicated. They'll have to deal with paperwork, damages, or being threatened with a surcharge.
In practice, it's just the opposite.

With AVIS MaxiRent , the vehicle handoveris quick and transparent. The car is inspected, normal wear and tear is assessed and the whole process takes just a few dozen minutes.
