Expert Advice for Leasing a Car or Van in Ireland

Welcome to Kearys Leasing’s guide to all things leasing — your go-to resource for smart, simple, and cost-effective motoring in Ireland. Whether you're leasing a personal car or a business van, we’ve got you covered with helpful insights, tips, and advice.

What Is Vehicle Leasing?

Vehicle leasing is an affordable and flexible way to drive a new car or van without the upfront cost of buying. You pay a fixed monthly amount for a set term and simply return the vehicle at the end of the lease.

Top Tips for First-Time Leasers

1. Know Your Budget
Set a clear monthly budget that works for your lifestyle or business cash flow. Leasing helps avoid hidden costs – but be realistic about what you can comfortably afford.

2. Understand the Contract
Leasing terms vary – from mileage limits to maintenance inclusions. Always read the fine print and ask questions before signing. At Kearys, we’re happy to walk you through every detail.

3. Choose the Right Vehicle
Need a van for deliveries? Or a compact car for city driving? Think about how you’ll use the vehicle, and let our experts match you with the ideal lease.

4. Consider Maintenance
Many leases include servicing or maintenance packages. It can save you money and hassle in the long run – especially for commercial vans with heavy use.

Should You Lease or Buy?

Leasing is perfect if you:
