How do I know what initial payment option to choose?
26/11/2021 Finance Products All News
When leasing a vehicle, you are required to make an initial rental payment, also referred to as an up-front payment.
- The initial rental payment is calculated as a multiple of the monthly rental, typically, you can choose a multiple of 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 times the monthly rental.
- The initial payment amount is then taken off the total cost of the lease offer, with the remaining amount divided equally into monthly rentals until the end of contract.
- The larger the initial rental, the lower the monthly cost.
So how do I decide which payment option to choose?
Although putting in a larger initial rental will lower the monthly cost; it won't make the overall deal any cheaper.
Lower initial rentals are handy in that they keep the up-front cost low; however, the monthly cost is higher.
When deciding upon what payment option to choose, ensure that both the up-front and monthly rental amounts are affordable to you.

Jigsaw Finance Limited is a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a limited number of lenders and their finance products. We are not an independent financial advisor; we will provide details of products available, but no advice or recommendation will be made. You must decide whether the finance product is right for you.
We will receive a commission payment from the lender/finance provider if you decide to enter into an agreement with them. The commission payment received is for the introduction and work in facilitating and arranging the finance for you and is a one-off payment from the lender to Jigsaw. The calculation of this commission is based either on a fixed fee or a percentage of the amount you borrow, this is determined and may vary by the commercial agreement Jigsaw has with the lender. We may work with just one lender or a limited selection of lenders when arranging finance. As a Credit Broker, we may also have other commercial arrangements with a lender which do not influence the terms of your finance agreement. We may share some of this commission with the motor retailer.
The amount of commission will be made available to you before signing your finance documents.
All the lenders that we work with pay commissions at different rates, however, the commission received does not affect the amount you will pay under your finance agreement. Our aim is to secure finance for you at the lowest interest rate available from our panel of lenders. Finance may be available from other providers outside of our panel, and you should consider your options before entering into an agreement, we are not able to provide impartial recommendation.
