The cost of leasing a Peugeot will vary depending on: 

• The Peugeot’s year and model you choose – petrol-powered cars are generally cheaper to lease than EVs
• The car’s transmission & fuel type 
• The specs & configurations you choose for your Peugeot
• Your lease term – the longer your lease, the lower your monthly payments 
• Your initial payment – making a larger initial payment reduces your monthly payments
• Your car lease provider. 

Peugeots are generally more affordable to lease than other car brands, thanks to their reputation as flexible and budget-friendly vehicles. For the mid-range Peugeot 308, leasing starts from around £297.85 (inc VAT) per month over a 48-month term, with an initial rental payment of £3,574.20. In this case, the initial rental is the equivalent of 12 months of payments. There’s also usually a processing fee. 

Peugeot car leases typically include a mileage limit, with additional costs incurred for exceeding this limit. For the Peugeot lease deal above, the annual mileage limit is 5,000 miles. The excess mileage charge is 8.39p per mile. Lease costs and charges will vary between providers; the above is just an example. 

Additional costs apply if you select maintenance packages or add-ons for your Peugeot lease (e.g. special metallic paint, spare space saver wheel, etc). 

What’s included in your Peugeot lease will depend on whether you lease through the manufacturer directly or with a third-party car lease provider. 

A Peugeot lease generally includes: 

• Full use of the vehicle for the lease period (which can range from 24-60 months)
• An allocated annual mileage between 5,000 and 15,000 miles (over-mileage fees may apply if you exceed your set mileage)
• VED 
• Standard manufacturer’s warranty
• Scheduled servicing 

Keep in mind that Peugeot leases typically don’t include car insurance. Whether you’re leasing or purchasing a Peugeot, it’s your responsibility to arrange car insurance. When you sign up for a Peugeot lease, you may get temporary driveaway insurance. This offers enough coverage to drive your new Peugeot while you arrange for more comprehensive insurance.

Additionally, excess charges may apply if you do not adhere to the manufacturer's servicing or maintenance guidelines or if the car exceeds the BVRLA guidelines on fair wear and tear. 

Taking into account factors like mileage and rental payments, the cheapest Peugeot lease deal is often for the UK’s best-selling model, the Peugeot 208. Lease agreements can start at just £193.84 per month for a 48-month term, with an initial payment of £2,326.08.

Here are some ways you could save money on a Peugeot lease deal:

• Shop around: Compare lease costs, terms and conditions from different providers to find the best Peugeot lease deal for your budget and needs. 
• Avoid opting for the extras: Skip unnecessary upgrades and the latest tech features on your leased Peugeot to reduce your leasing costs.
• Negotiate your lease terms: While the purchase price of a vehicle is typically non-negotiable when buying directly from a Peugeot dealership, you may have the opportunity to negotiate your lease costs with a third-party lease provider.
• Consider leasing a used Peugeot: Leasing a pre-owned Peugeot instead of a brand-new model can be cost-effective because it avoids the steep depreciation that comes with new models.
• Choose your mileage limit carefully: Estimate your annual mileage and select your lease plan accordingly to avoid over-mileage charges. The average annual vehicle mileage in the UK ranges from 5,000 to 7,000 miles.
• Maintenance packages: Adding a maintenance package to your lease typically increases your payment costs. Consider whether it's necessary, especially if scheduled servicing is already included in the lease.
• Consider salary sacrificing: If eligible, paying for your Peugeot lease through your employer's salary sacrifice scheme can offer substantial tax savings.

When your Peugeot lease ends, you’ll have a few options:

• Return the Peugeot to the leasing company: They will inspect it for internal or external damage and excessive wear and tear. If you exceed mileage limits or cause damage beyond normal wear and tear, you may incur additional charges as per your lease agreement.
• Lease another Peugeot: Upgrade to a newer Peugeot model with improved technology, features, and fuel efficiency, or switch to a different car brand.
• Extend the lease: If you’re happy with your Peugeot model and specifications, you could extend the lease if that’s an option your provider offers. This usually requires signing a contract extension and may involve an additional administrative fee. 

You may have the option to lease a Peugeot without a deposit by selecting the lowest initial payment, usually equal to your monthly payment. This allows you to avoid a large upfront deposit, but results in higher monthly payments over the lease term. Your credit score will determine if you can secure a Peugeot lease without a deposit and under what terms. 

To qualify for leasing a Peugeot in the UK, you must meet the following minimum criteria:

• Be over 18 years of age
• Have a full driving licence
• Have a good credit score
• Have an income that’s sufficient to cover your lease payments.
