Car leasing has, in recent times, become favorable to purchasing a new vehicle. For a monthly fee, you get a pristine vehicle and when you’re done, simply return it and upgrade, or cancel the lease. Mechanical issues? Not your problem. Depreciating in value? Not yours to sell. Only need a car on certain days? There are flexible options available.

One of the most popular options for leases are the pay per kay. With pay per key you can choose the car, you let them know how many kilometers you need, and the lease will be tailored to your needs. If you run out of KM, you can add another bundle. You’ll only pay for the miles you drive, so you’re not subsidizing the long lease servicing some lease hires require. If you’re a resident here in Dubai, passing through or on an extended break, we always recommend checking the terms with any lease hire firm. Some will require local license, some extra information. Always check you’re eligible before setting your mind on the AMG GTS (we know your mind is in that gutter).
