Clarity before commitment

Automatic car leasing under £300

A monthly rental below £300 does not necessarily mean the lease costs less than £300 a month overall. Start with the initial rental, add the £499 administration fee and spread the scheduled payments across the whole term.

Guidance reviewed 8 September 2026 · Nationwide Motor Leasing

Set two limits, not one

Tell us both the maximum monthly rental and the cash you can pay initially. A large initial rental can lower the advertised monthly figure without making the agreement cheaper overall. Keep a separate budget for insurance, fuel or charging and any maintenance not included.

Identify the exact transmission

Our shortlist uses Auto, DSG, S Tronic, DCT, Steptronic, Tiptronic, e-CVT or CVT wording in the supplied variant, not the Android Auto equipment label. Check the exact transmission on your final quotation.

Compare before requesting a quote

The examples below use supplied profiles, not calculated lender offers. Changing the term, mileage or upfront rental requires a fresh quotation; we do not estimate a new monthly rental by simply multiplying the old one.

Questions before choosing

Does under £300 include the initial rental?

The headline-rental filter does not. The separate effective-monthly figure includes the initial rental, remaining scheduled rentals and £499 administration fee, divided by the contract months. Running costs and contingent charges are excluded.
