Best car lease deals
Personal Car Hire (PCH) personal leasing is the simplest way of getting behind the wheel of a brand-new car. Put down your initial payment, lay out those monthlies, then that’s it. You hand the car back at the end of the contract. If you like changing your car every two to three years, then leasing can be a wise choice.
£274 per month over two years

The mild-hybrid diesel D165 automatic makes a lot of sense for people who don’t care about 0-62mph times, are still happy to be driving a diesel, and want a tax-efficient option. Watch those insurance premiums, though!

It isn’t as desperately impractical as its rakish looks would suggest, either – there’s loads of room in the back for passengers and enough space in the boot to handle most daily duties. However, if you need outright practicality, you’d probably be better served by the Skoda Karoq.

The Vauxhall Corsa isn’t quite a class leader, but it is still a good all-rounder. The ride and handling balance is a good compromise, the 100hp engine proves frugal and performs well and there’s enough space inside.
And at a less than £170 per month at current prices, it's little short of a steal.

The PureTech 130 engine is the best all-rounder, since it’s plenty powerful and impressively refined, with manageable running costs too. The manual 'box you get with this car will suit most, as it's a slick-shifting transmission that's so nice to use in everyday driving.

£180 per month over four years
We’d heartily recommend the manual Boosterjet model as a good-value and fun-to-drive car. It’s not as practical as a Ford Puma nor does it feel as upmarket as a Peugeot 2008, but if you want something sturdy, attractive and a bit different the Vitara is a good choice.

Cons
- Limited load space
- Infotainment is dated

It’s practical, with some very clever interior touches, as you’d expect for a product that’s now entered its third generation. While the quality and interior are also up there with the very best-in-class.

You'll appreciate the agile handling and responsive steering. Efficient engines excellent economy into the miix. As for engines, yes, the M135i is quite a thing, but our chosen 118i will do everything most buyers will ever ask without ever really breaking sweat. Highly recommended.

If you want sprightly performance, we recommend picking the 1.5-litre petrol engine, and this deal does just that coming in desirable R Line trim. At a little more that £220 per month, it's a lot of car for your money.

Volvo XC40
£319 per month over four years
What it isn’t is remotely sporty, and we’re OK with that. The BMW X1 is available if you want something fun to drive. If you want comfort, then the Volvo XC40 is up there with the Range Rover Evoque for cushiness and should be a lot more dependable, too.

Best PCP deals
Like the idea of running a brand new car for an affordable monthly payment with the option to hand the car back at the end of the contract or buy it outright? One option is Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) finance.
PCP is the most popular type of car finance, which means the best car finance deals in the UK are often PCP based. Beware: the difference between the best and worst PCP deals is enormous. Do your homework, though, and you can bag a great car for far less per month than you might expect.
£31 per month (yes, really!) over two years with 0% APR
You’re looking at an economical E-Tech Evolution model for this price. It’s packed with kit, such as alloy wheels, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and cruise control, and simply oozes kerb appeal. And, yes, to get that 0% APR with eye-catching low monthly payment you do need to put down a chunky deposit – but it's not out of order.

GWM Ora 03
£249 per month for two years with 0% APR
The biggest problem the 03 has is that, no matter how cute it looks, it's an unknown quantity. But it's cheaper to finance than an MG4 EV, and the warranty looks good, so if you're looking to turn heads while going electric, this could work for you.

Honda e:Ny1
£346 per month over three years with £8,000 dealer contribution
The infotainment, although slightly daunting due to its size at first, is also a doddle. It's a town car really, though, with a real world range of around 200 miles and a boot which is on the small side.**

Polestar 2
£382 per month for four years with 0% APR
We’d certainly recommend taking a look at the 2 if you value interior quality above all else, and at less than £400 per month with a reasonably-sized deposit, it's great value on Polestar's own PCP finance scheme.

£499 per month for three years with 2.9% APR and free servicing
That’s high praise indeed considering just how highly we rate the Porsche. But the A110 really is that good, and at less than £500 per month and with low APR, it's a good time to PCP one.

What type of finance to choose?
PCH personal leasing
Car leasing, also known as Personal Contract Hire (or PCH) is best for lowest monthly cost and changing cars often. You will not own the car, but that gives you great flexibility.
PCP finance
Personal contract purchase, as typified by Ford Options, is the best for flexibility. You make a lower monthly payment than you would on a straight loan, but you’ll need to make a balloon payment at the end of the deal if you choose to buy the car outright.
If you’re new to finance check out our full guides on PCH leasing and PCP finance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I am getting a good deal on a new car?
When it comes to finding the best deals available, there’s lots of help out there. Our aforementioned finance deals page, for example, lists the top offers we’ve seen. This allows you to quickly get an idea of what’s available for your budget.
For many buyers, securing a deal with a low, or even zero, deposit is a crucial part of what makes the best finance deals the best. With higher monthly payments it’s possible to spread the cost of an initial payment over the course of the contract. Check out APR rates on all deals – obviously the lower, the better. This softens the blow and getting keys to a new car for a very low up-front cost.
But nothing beats shopping around. These days you don’t need to wear out shoe leather anymore, as Parkers has done all of the hard work for you by aggregating lease deals and highlighting them in one place. Check out the car leasing landing page, and get comparing!
How do I get a good finance deal on a new car?
With dealer contributions, varying APR, and some manufacturers throwing in free fuel among other benefits, judging what’s the best value car finance deal for you can be a minefield. A good figure to look for is the ‘total amount payable’ sum included alongside the offer.
This will show you exactly what you’ll end up spending on the car, in the long run. It will include factors such as interest charges, ‘finance facility’ and ‘option to purchase’ fees.
Again, shopping around is the best thing you can do here, if you’re using your local dealership, don’t be afraid to be travel further afield and compare rival dealerships’ deals.
What cars are offering 0% finance deals?
Look at the best new car deals and you’ll see that many feature 0% APR finance. These 0% car finance deals are a tempting proposition because, provided you can put down the deposit required, they provide an easy way to spread the cost of a new car.
Here you will find a list of the 0% APR deals on offer – from Alfa Romeo to Volvo.
These deals are indicative examples of some packages available as of 15 April 2024, but are subject to change without prior notice.
