Hope I’m posting this in the right section. Recently been promoted, which means I have to give up my company car. I’ll still need a runaround for school drop offs, weekends out, etc - 5000 miles a year should cut it.
I’ve been looking into leasing as I don’t really want to own a car; and don’t have enough saved to buy one outright. However, I’ve had company cars for 15 years, so my head is swimming with the different options out there.
I had been looking at Octopus EV as they fit a free charger and 5,000 free miles with servicing, maintenance, tyres etc included. However, I’m not wedded to an electric vehicle - just thought it made sense as I wouldn’t need to charge every day and the allowed mileage would effectively a
cover me for a year.
The pay rise will be about £400 a month after tax, so I‘ve accepted I’m probably going to be worse off being promoted, but I suspect there’s no great deals out there at the moment.
Grateful for any thoughts on Octopus (as it seems to pretty much cover everything I’ll need to get on the road, save insurance) or other vfm leasing companies? Thanks in advance.
