Personal car finance that puts you at the wheel1

The difference between a finance lease vs an operating lease.
If you choose to lease your Volkswagen, you’ll have the option to do so through a ‘finance lease’ or an ‘operating lease’. Which lease you choose will depend on your long-term plans for your new car.
Someone who wants to buy their vehicle at the end of their lease might benefit more from a finance lease, while those who prefer to regularly upgrade their vehicle may find an operating lease more appropriate.
Finance lease
Under a finance lease, you’ll have the option to purchase your vehicle at the end of your lease agreement. This can save you on the upfront costs associated with buying a new car outright, but you’ll still end up owning your very own Volkswagen after making a final balloon payment.
Repayments on a finance lease do not include maintenance costs, however. This means you will take on the risks of car ownership for the duration of your lease – after all, it could be your car one day.
Operating lease
Operating leases are shorter than finance leases, which gives you the opportunity to upgrade your wheels more frequently. What’s more, maintenance costs are baked into your repayment amounts, reducing the hassle of keeping your vehicle up and running.
For the duration of the operating lease, you’ll be able to use the car exactly as if you owned it, and once your lease is up you simply return it. Just remember, you won’t be able to purchase a vehicle leased through this arrangement.
