Let’s face it…the world has gone full Monopoly. We’re at the point where even Old Kent Road feels out of reach, and every Chance card’s just another tax or utility hike. Similarly, buying a car just doesn’t make sense for the majority of players nowadays. Especially first-timers.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Why not roll the dice with Summit Drive? A Yorkshire-born, family-run car leasing company that plays the board properly by looking after their players every step of the way.
House Rules for First-Time Leasers
Rule 1
Scout the board: Who are the players? Find the vehicle and company that suits you. Next pick whatever matches your style and budget.
Rule 2
Know the rules before you roll: Essentially, get to grips with all the bits: contract length, mileage, upfront cost, maintenance etc. Don’t be afraid to ask questions - get ahead in the game by knowing exactly what to expect.
Rule 3:
Let us do the hard miles: We handle the admin, the paperwork, and the delivery. All you have to do is drive.
Is the Car the Best Piece on the Board?
Picking the car piece might feel like a power move (any piece is better than the iron), but actually owning a car today? That's like handing your cash straight to the Banker and watching them laugh as it depreciates faster than your hotel on Mayfair.
Leasing, on the other hand, lets you make a steady monthly payment while keeping your cash stashed to one side for smarter moves like acquiring the Electrical Company.
Why Car Leasing Fits First-Time Players
Like your first game of Monopoly, leasing’s about learning when to buy and when to pass Go.
The Game Changes - and Your Car Should Too
Life’s board changes every turn - new job, new city, new family member. So, why stay parked on the same square? Leasing lets you flex like a ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card. With short-term deals and flexible terms, drive what suits you at the time, not what you were stuck with five years ago.
New Cars Shouldn’t Be for the Privileged Few
We’re leveling the board. Everyone deserves a reliable, modern car. Leasing puts the good stuff within reach with affordable deals on a range of vehicles and terms to suit individual circumstances. Nobody wants to have to remortgage Euston Road just to stay in the game.
Rolling a Double is Great But Three in a Row Lands You in Trouble
Roll smart, not hard. Avoid these three traps that catch out new players:
- Mileage Limits
Drive too far, and there’s a charge. Going over your annual mileage allowance is avoidable. The terms are agreed upfront, so you won’t get a surprise. - Damage and Wear
Treat your vehicle with care. One careless bump into another player and fees will likely apply. Minor scratches are fine, but big damage hits hard. - Early Termination Fees
Want to trade-in early? That’s like having to sell one of your hotels back to the Banker for half price. Ending a lease early can be expensive, so choose your terms carefully.
End Game
Unlike actual Monopoly, leasing with Summit Drive doesn’t drag on for hours or end in family arguments.
Family-run and rooted in Yorkshire, Summit Drive combines charm with modern know-how. Think of us as the Monopoly man with a kettle on - real people, plain dealing, and vehicles that fit the world we actually live in.
