I'm in Malaysia, so my answers wouldn't really help. But I was just wondering if there isn't an app like that in the UK nowadays. Over here, you can rent for any period from an hour upwards. Usually there's discounts the longer you rent for, obviously, so 10 hours and 24 hours basically cost the same because no-one wants it at night anyway. I usually use it for a day trip, but sometimes a long weekend away or something.How long do you rent it for?
What is the approx cost for it?
We got a PCH car from cinch and it's been spot on, I would recommend it based on our experience.Anyone have a spare five mins over the next few days for a bit of help on this?
I'm at the point where I'm struggling a bit without a car (post separation/restarting in life).
The kids now live arounds 3 miles away and although I walk every where this isn't always an option. I've also started to (and wish to do far more) weekend trips.
My daughter struggles with anxieties (she's autistic) so can't get her on a train but there's so many more reasons I need a car.
Posted on the Electric Car thread that at the moment an EV isn't really an options (cost and I won't have home charging given I live in a flat).
Had a recent promotion at work (relatively new career so hoping these progressions continue) so have. bit of extra cash each month and absolutely believe having a car will solve so many problems and open up a bit of freedom for me.
With that in mind (and no real deposit) I was thinking of leasing but not 100% on which 'flavour'.
I have the VW T-roc in mind (and I feel the decision is part mind part heart...there's a fair bit to pay out for something you're not truly fond of).
I did stick a post about this on the main VW forum (volkswagonforum.co.uk) but complete tumble weed in terms of responses.
I might drop something on Honest John.
But if anyone doesn't mind PM'ing if they get a moment to help I'd be most grateful. I don't have a great history of cars so could do with a bit of ammo lest I don't get the best deal at the dealers.
Thanks!!
You have a pcp deal and not pch if you are able to buy it at the end of the term.We got a PCH car from cinch and it's been spot on, I would recommend it based on our experience.
Used cars at the time were stupidly high priced near us - 10 year old Fiat 500s going for £1000s and I didn't want to take a loan out to buy an 8 year old car as in a few years I wouldn't want it as it starts to cost with MOTs etc.
We went to Fords of Winsford and sat in a few cars and decided what we wanted then compared the cost in cinch. It was much cheaper and we ended up with a 3 year old car with 1700 miles on the clock for 250 a month for 4 years with our old car as a deposit. Basically we rent a much newer car for 4 years then either hand it back or buy it.
For us, it's worked out great as we get a much better car for a decent monthly payment. However the trade off is we don't own it and won't own it in 4 years. It doesn't bother me so much as I don't want to own a 12 year old car etc. Some people won't like this though, it's not for everyone.
I would definitely recommend cinch, the whole process was spot on.
Hope it helps mate but feel free to PM me if you need any more info!
Keeper? Owner is the finance houseIf pcp, you do also own the car as you are the registered owner on the log book.
He has good handling but stays on the line when at traffic lights.Keeper? Owner is the finance house
I’m almost 60 and I’ve always bought cars with a personal loan or more recently with savings.. a monthly payment doesn’t feel right for me and I don’t believe in a monthly payment for something I’ll never ownWhat is the age thing?
No unfortunately.Not really what you asked, but are car sharing/renting apps an option? I don't have a car (nor kids, which makes things easier), but when I really need one, I have an app that shows cars to rent. There's an electric one just round the corner that I rent fairly regularly, and it's way cheaper than owning if it's only something you'll need occasionally. Obviously if you have to deal with stuff like kids' car seats, then it'd be nicer to have your own.

Take a look at a leasing broker. They will guide you towards the best deal/value for money across all of the makes/manufacturers rather than looking at one or two dealers.Yes - helpful mate.
Been discussed on here before but you'll end up paying whichever route you go down.
I'm not totally wedded to the VW T Roc but it looks ideal and our last VW was an utter work horse.
Was interested to see how warranty's work with leasing (I know so little about it atm, hence asking a few Qs on here).
Hyundai/Kia for example, are known for their 7 year warranty if buying.
Yeah - I might pick your brains further by PM if that's ok mate.
Are these the two types of leasing?
That's where I'm at - alsmot certain leasing is the best option (only, likely) but which type suits.
And also whether to use something Cinch or 'haggle' with a local dealer (there's a large VW deanship in Stockport opposite the pyramid.
Never had to 'haggle' with car dealers too and I'm not hugely savvy when it comes to cars (I've been under the bonnet a few times, changed batteries, a few electrical fuses, wheels etc....but I'm no wheeler dealer!!)
Thanks - presumably something I can do online, or something I'll need to phone or make contact with personally?Take a look at a leasing broker. They will guide you towards the best deal/value for money across all of the makes/manufacturers rather than looking at one or two dealers.
