How it works
Comparing lease and long-term rental by monthly payment alone is misleading — you need to add the upfront deposit and yearly extras like insurance and vehicle tax to see the real total cost. Run this calculator once for the lease terms and once for the rental terms, then compare the totals side by side.
FAQ
Q. Do I own the car with a lease?
A. Finance leases often include a buyout option at the end; operating leases and long-term rentals are usually return-only. Check your contract type first.
