    Hi

    Just wondering does anyone know if it's possible to lease a car in Ireland for a year? It's possible in the states where you lease a car and return it 1-2 years later for another one.

    Thanks!

    You won't get a lease as a private individual afaik, only as a company.

    Yup, finance houses will only look at leasing for companies.

    Theoretical question but what if I'm a sole trader? Will they do a lease on just one vehicle or is there a minimum no. of vehicles required?

    Why companies only - Is it that the figures dont make as much sense if person is not VAT registered?

    I cant see how financially,companies are safer bet for the finance.
