Here at the AA, we aim to make leasing as easy as possible, simply:

• Find a car you like and get a quote.
• Wait for our team to get in touch.
• Follow the easy online application process.
• E-sign the documents sent to your inbox.
• Get updated as your order progresses.
• Receive vehicle delivery straight to your door.

Our team are on hand to answer questions throughout the process and help in any way we can.

After you've signed the agreement with AA Lease your car will be ordered.

Many cars are in stock, with delivery within 2 to 4 weeks. However, some models might have to be ordered from the manufacturer, and these will have a longer delivery time.

Some lease funders will also have a cooling off period of 14 days from when your finance contracts are approved, during which we cannot arrange delivery of the car.

We'll give you a more accurate date at the point of ordering and keep you updated as the order progresses.

Call us as soon as possible. If the cooling off period hasn’t ended, there’ll be no charges if you need to cancel or change your order.   

Once your car’s arrived at the dealership and the pre-delivery inspection’s been done, you'll be contacted to arrange a suitable date for delivery. 

Please note delivery will be an all-day window but the driver will call you on the day of delivery to give you an ETA for delivery.  

On handover the driver will explain the key functions of the car and answer any questions you may have. There will also be delivery paperwork for you to complete and sign.

Yes, you will be able to put your personalised number plate on your lease can but you’ll need to contact the lease funder to go through their process. If you want to know more about the individual process, please call us.

You’ll be responsible for having your personalised plates made and correctly fitted on your AA Lease vehicle. You must keep the original number plates during the lease term. 

When you remove your personalised plates at the end of the contract, the DVLA will assign the original registration number back to the vehicle and you'll need to replace the original plates. 

Call us at least 6 weeks before the end your contract and we’ll let you know what to do next to transfer the plates off your lease vehicle.

There is no maximum delivery mileage on your car as it may be driven as part of the delivery process however everything will be done to ensure the mileage is kept to a minimum.

The delivery mileage will also be noted on your handover paperwork as your starting mileage.

An initial rental payment is the upfront cost at the start of your car lease. It comes off the total cost of your lease reducing your monthly payments and therefore unlike a deposit, is not refundable. Initial payments are calculated as multiples of the lease’s monthly payments. Often you can pay the equivalent of 1,3, 6, 9, or 12 months as the initial rental payment.

Leases are normally calculated across a set term of between 2 and 4 years. They are often displayed as the initial payment and then the monthly rentals that follow. This is called a rental profile.

For example, it could be 3 + 23 which is a lease over 2 years with an initial payment that is equivalent to 3 of the subsequent monthly rental payments.

You can choose to increase the initial payment in order to lower the monthly rental payments that follow.

For example, if you select a 3 year lease with a 9 + 35 profile, the following 35 monthly payments will be less than if you decide to opt for a 3 + 35. However, the amount due overall would be the same.

If you are looking at a factory order, adding certain options may be possible but will probably impact on the price of the lease. Our team can confirm this when you place the order.

At the point you’re deciding which lease to choose, we will let you know stock availability and lead times. If we can’t supply a stock vehicle or you add optional features, the car will need to be factory ordered, with varying lead times according to manufacturer. We can let you know a timescale when you place the order.

As your order progresses our customer service team will keep you updated and arrange delivery as soon as it is possible. We won’t usually arrange it until the vehicle is in stock, in case of delays during movement.

The AA uses Wessex Fleet, a broker, so your lease agreement will not be with us but with the lease funder. The lease funder may also be referred to as a finance company. They work with a number of funders to be able to provide you with the very best deals.

Funders include; Alphabet, ALD, Arval, Leasys, LeasePlan, Lex, Mobilize Financial Services (RCI), Novuna, Santander and VGL. We also work with manufacturer finance such as Volvo Finance.

If you have second thoughts about the car you’ve chosen then contact us as soon as possible and we can discuss what options are available to you. If you have decided you no longer want a lease at all, then there could be a cancellation fee depending on how far into the process you are when you let us know.

Upon placing the order and signing the order pack (ATO), you’re given 14 days to cancel, without charge. Cancellations beyond this period may incur a cancellation fee.
