THE leasing broker marketing portal, Moneyshake, reports a change in consumer preferences for leasing deals.
The lease aggregator says that the shift in behaviour – for reduced length of car lease and for fewer miles – is most likely a reaction to the pandemic.
The key statistics reported by Moneyshake are:
- Enquiries on the shortest lease contract (24 months) have doubled in the last six months.
- Enquiries on 5,000 annual mileage contracts have increased from 5% to 35% in the last six months.
We’ve seen a dramatic shift in the market with more people working from home due to the pandemic and travel restrictions meaning cars use in general is down. A surge in demand for lower mileage contracts and short-term agreements speaks to underpinning customer confidence in today’s climate.

In addition, the lease marketing portal said that enquiries for EVs had also increased. Moneyshake was launched in 2019.
