1 Month Car Lease

Sometimes you just need a car, and you need it now-ish rather than for years. A 1 month car lease — our rolling monthly subscription — is the easiest way into a Drive Subscribe car: pick one, we deliver it, and you pay by the month with nothing locking you in. Keep it for a single month, roll it on for as long as it’s useful, or hand it back when you’re done. It’s the shortest, most flexible term we do — and the simplest place to start.

  • Keep it, extend or hand back anytime

All-inclusive

What's included — and what isn't

Everything but insurance and fuel is wrapped into the monthly price: servicing and maintenance, road tax, breakdown cover, the manufacturer warranty, and free delivery and collection. Because it rolls monthly, there’s nothing to unwind if your plans change — you simply stop when you’re ready. The two things you add are insurance and whatever goes in the tank.

You arrange the insurance, which keeps your cost honest. A policy built to cover anyone would come in higher than one built around you, so you take out cover for as long as you keep the car and cancel it when it goes back. We’ll tell you exactly what you need before we drop the car off.

Delivery

Getting your car

We deliver free across the UK and collect for free at the end, and it’s usually about 10 to 14 days from order to your door. Worth knowing up front: a rolling month suits a planned short gap — a move, a new posting, a car you know will be off the road a while — more than a same-day emergency. If you need something on the drive today, a daily rental will cover the first few days; for a month or more, this is the better-value way to do it.

Pricing

The price you see is the price you pay

Each car’s monthly price defaults to Business, excluding VAT — the figure you see is what you pay, with Personal pricing a toggle away. Sort by price and you’ll find the cheapest one month lease for the car you actually want.

Getting started takes your first month’s rental up front, a one-off £234 processing fee (plus VAT), and a refundable deposit that’s returned once the car comes back in good order. After that you’re billed month by month, for as long as you keep the car — and not a month more.

1

First month's rental

Paid up front when you order.

2

£234 processing fee

One-off, plus VAT.

3

Refundable deposit

Returned once the car comes back in good order.

After that, it's just the monthly price.

Cars & vans

Cars and vans, same simple terms

Cars or vans both roll by the month — from a small hatchback to a work van.

Handy when you need something specific for a few weeks, or a stand-in that could stay a while, without committing beyond the month you’re in.

Cars

Hatchbacks, saloons, SUVs and electric.

Vans

Work vans on the same rolling month.

Same simple terms

One fixed monthly price either way, plus VAT.

Start short, stay flexible

Start short, stay as long as you like

A month is just the starting point. Because it rolls, you’re never boxed in: hold the car month to month for as long as it earns its place, and if you decide you want it for the longer haul, you can move onto a three, six, twelve or eighteen month term — often at a better monthly rate — whenever it suits you.

You stay in control of how long, and you’re always free to hand it back. Start short, keep every option open.

Mileage

Mileage, in plain numbers

You get the choice of either 1,000 or 2,000 miles for the month. Go over and it’s 78p a mile plus VAT, charged only on the extra — and you’ll see the rate before you order, never after. Know you’ll cover big distances? Tell us and we’ll look at your options.

Business

Leasing one through the business?

A rolling month is a tidy way to put a new starter or a bit of temporary cover on the road without committing the business to anything — one clean monthly cost, cancel it the moment the need passes.

The VAT and tax treatment on a car is different from a van, so it’s worth a quick word with your accountant, but as a short, flexible business expense it’s hard to beat.

FAQs

Common questions

Can you lease a car for just one month?

Yes — one month is the shortest and most flexible term we do, and it rolls month to month. Keep the car for a single month, extend it for as long as you like, and hand it back whenever you're ready.

What's the shortest term lease available

One month, rolling month to month — there's nothing shorter with us. For a need of just a few days, a daily rental is the right tool; from a month upwards, a rolling subscription is the better value.

Is it a rolling contract?

It is. It renews a month at a time, and when you'd like to stop, just let us know and we'll arrange to collect the car. There's no fixed end date to work around.

How quickly can I get a car

Usually 10 to 14 days from order to your door. It isn't a same-day service, so a rolling month suits a planned short gap better than a today emergency.

Do I arrange my own insurance?

Yes, on purpose. Cover priced for everyone would cost you more than cover priced for you. Arrange your own while you've got the car and cancel it when it's back — you only pay for your own risk. We'll tell you what's needed first.

What do I pay to get started

Your first month's rental, a one-off £234 processing fee (plus VAT), and a refundable deposit that comes back once the car's returned in good order. After that, it's simply month by month.

Can I move to a longer term after?

Absolutely — lots of people do. Start with a rolling month, then switch to a three, six, twelve or eighteen month term once you know you want the car for a while, usually at a better monthly rate. Starting short keeps every option open.
