When you hear “leasing,” you probably picture a company car with a logo on the side. But the truth is, operational leasing isn’t just for businesses anymore. More and more private individuals are choosing this service as a convenient, flexible, and cost-effective alternative to buying a car.
If you're wondering what exactly operational leasing is and whether it’s right for you, we’ll explain everything in simple terms right here.
Operational leasing is a form of long-term car rental where you drive a vehicle for a set period without owning it at the end. You pay a fixed monthly fee and get to drive a brand-new car, which you can then swap for another new one once your contract ends.
Absolutely. You no longer need to own a company to benefit from operational leasing. Simpl, for example, offers a subscription model for private clients with everything included — no need to worry about insurance, road tax, servicing, tires, or anything else. You can drive a new car without taking out a loan, without making a large upfront payment, and without the hassle of long-term ownership and maintenance.
Operational leasing doesn’t include a buyout option — that’s the main difference from financial leasing. The idea is to drive the car for a period and then switch to a new model. It’s like Netflix — you use the service without owning it. That said, if you really fall in love with your car, we can always discuss options for you to keep it. At Simpl, we’re all about finding solutions that work for you.
If you want to drive a new car without committing to a purchase, a loan, or long-term obligations, operational leasing is a smart, modern choice. Especially with a brand like Simpl that makes everything... well, simpler.
