Consumer Car Leasing
for Expats by Expats!

Did you know that expats can not always get a car without a local credit history? Unless they coordinate with ExpatRide!

With us, you can arrange for your car before or after you move abroad.
ExpatRide helps you to lease cars in US, UK, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Canada, France, Portugal, Australia and more.

Why lease with us?

Our leasing program was created specifically for expats by expats. Our service saves you time, hassle and money while making it easier to navigate the local car market in your new country, even if you don’t have a local credit history or local driver’s license yet.


You'll receive assistance from a Personal Car Shopper, a knowledgeable contact who understands the automotive landscape and will guide you in finding the best vehicle to fit your needs, preferences, and budget.

We coordinate:

  • Car leases starting at 24 months with max duration of 48 months
  • New as well as used vehicles
  • Auto insurance (obtained separately)
  • Sourcing eco-friendly vehicles if possible
  • Lease agreements are limited to the duration of your visa.
  • Car configuration choices (locally sourced or factory ordered)

Know what you are getting before you proceed

  • No local credit history needed.
  • You only pay for the amount the vehicle is expected to depreciate during your term.
  • A lease agreement can only be as long as your visa is valid.
  • A down payment is required for car leasing.
  • When you lease a car, you will pay separately for car insurance.

What are the benefits of using ExpatRide?
Many clients find it challenging to navigate the foreign vehicle market, especially when they've already got their hands full overseeing other aspects of their deployed expat's lifestyle transition. ExpatRide's main benefits are experience, expediency, and convenience. Our program was crafted to meet all the expat's transportation needs, allowing them to dedicate their full attention to addressing all the other lifestyle challenges relocation presents.
Why should I lease new when I could buy used?
It may sound surprising, but leasing a new vehicle is often more cost-effective than buying a used one. Leases have lower initial down payments, making it ideal for expats who have recently moved. Most leases also incorporate scheduled maintenance costs in the agreement, allowing them to handle vehicle upkeep on your behalf. Buying a pre-owned car not only costs more upfront, but leaves you with the burden of maintenance, repairs, and unexpected costs. Plus, secondhand vehicles continue to depreciate in value, whereas leased cars can be swapped for newer models with only a modest fee. As an added bonus, leasing can even help build your local credit score.
Why is it difficult for an expat to lease a car?
The vehicle leasing process is difficult across countries, so expats unfamiliar with the protocols will struggle managing this - especially if the country's primary language differs from their native tongue.
Additionally, expats typically come into their host country with low or non-existent credit score, making leases harder to secure or restrict them to unfavorable deals.
