A Step by Step Guide to Car Leasing

We like to promote the ‘Click, Lease, Go!’ experience when it comes to car leasing. That’s because we want it to be swift, smooth & seamless for you. And it is. There are just a few other things you’ll probably like to know.


Step 1: Click Your Way to Your Dream Car

Summit Drive’s network of trusted dealers offer up plenty of in-demand cars. Click your way through all the popular makes and models until you land on the one for you.

Alternatively, if you find the one but require a little customisation, we can factory-order your car so you get the exact colour, spec, and features you want, be it on a personal lease (PCH) or a business lease (BCH) deal.

Step 2: Credit Check

We can’t lease you a car until a credit check is complete. It’s a type of finance agreement, so it’s a must. But don’t worry - it’s straightforward, quick and can be done online.

Step 3: Place Your Order

With credit approval secured, it’s time for the lease order form. This form confirms all the key details about your car, such as the make, model, spec, etc. It’s important to review the details.

Once you’re happy, sign and return the form. Then, we’ll send you the Master Hire Leasing Agreement to finalise the deal.

Step 4: We Order Your Car

Once we receive your signed lease order form, we’ll place your order. Of course, you’ll want to know how long it will be until you get behind the wheel.

  • In-stock cars: Your car could be ready for delivery in as little as a few days. 
  • Factory orders: We’ll keep you updated on your car’s progress and let you know as soon as it’s ready.

Step 5: Sign Your Lease Agreement

Next, up the Master Hire Agreement. More signatures, plus additional documents, such as a copy of your driver’s license and a recent utility bill, to verify your identity. Once everything is in place, you’re all set for delivery!

Step 6: Delivery Day - It’s All Go!

The best bit! As soon as it’s ready, we’ll contact you to arrange delivery at a time and place that suits you. Delivery is free of charge nationwide.

When your car arrives, take a moment to inspect it, ensuring everything is perfect before signing the delivery note.

Step 7: Cooling-Off Period

After the deal is done, you’ll enter a cooling-off period:

  • Personal Lease (PCH): A 14-day cooling-off period applies, giving you time to change your mind if needed. 
  • Business Lease (BCH): If you’re a sole trader or non-limited company, there’s a 5-day cooling-off period. Limited companies don’t have this option.
