Why choose us for a short term business car lease deal

When you choose a short-term business car subscription with ACL Automotive it means you don’t have the long term commitment you might have to sign-up to with other companies. With us you can test out a new car model or get a temporary car for business use.

But before you proceed with a short term business car subscription or rental, it's important to consider how short-term leases work.

The benefits of a short term car lease deal

Flexibility

One of the main benefits of taking out a business short-term car lease is just how flexible it will be. If you only need a car for a few months or a year, 3 to 18 months could be ideal.

Lower cost

Short-term car leases can also be more cost-effective than long-term leases or car ownership. With a short-term deal, you won’t have long-term monthly payments to worry about. You also won’t need to worry about maintenance costs or MOTs.

No long-term financial commitment

If you're unsure about your future plans or unsure about your financial future, a short-term lease gives you peace of mind.

We wouldn’t be doing our job if we also didn’t highlight the potential drawbacks of a short-term business car lease. As you can imagine, they will sometimes come with higher monthly payments than longer-term ones.

According to Forbes, the monthly lease payments for a 12-month lease can be up to 82% higher than a 36-month lease for the same vehicle. This is because short-term leases are riskier for the leasing company, so they charge more to offset that risk. More so with a 6 month car lease.

You might also find that the mileage allowance is lower than what is offered with traditional leases. If you then go over the mileage allowance, you can incur additional charges per mile.

Range of vehicles

Another thing to consider when choosing a short term business car rental or subscription company is the type of vehicle you need. Are you looking for a small car to navigate busy city roads, or do you want something bigger for your business which can also be used for the family at weekends. We have everything you could ever wish to choose from.

Reputation of the company

Finally, it is important to consider the reputation of the business car rental company. Look for a company that has a good track record of providing quality service and reliable vehicles.

We are proud of our reputation and standing in the industry.

What’s included in an ACL short-term business lease?

Short-term shouldn’t mean second-best. Our business short-term options are designed to keep things simple: a reliable, modern vehicle for the exact period you need it — without the long contract tail. Depending on the vehicle and package, your agreement can include road tax and support throughout the term. If you’re unsure what to include, we’ll recommend the right setup based on your mileage, the type of driving you’re doing, and how “hands-off” you want the experience to be.

How it works

  • Choose your term: 3 months, 6–9 months, or 12 months.
  • Pick a vehicle (or tell us what you need: size, fuel type, budget, image).
  • We complete the required business checks and confirm availability.
  • Delivery is arranged to your chosen location and date.
  • At the end of the term, you return the car — or extend if plans change.

Who short-term business leasing is perfect for

  • New hires & probation periods: cover the first few months, then reassess.
  • Contractors & fixed projects: match the vehicle to the contract length.
  • Temporary relocations: stay mobile while you’re working away from home.
  • Bridging the gap: ideal if you’re waiting on a longer-term lease delivery.
