What is a Vehicle Lease To Own Agreement?

The Vehicle Lease To Own Agreement is designed for situations where a party wishes to acquire a vehicle through an initial leasing arrangement with the intention of purchasing it at the end of the term.

It's structured to comply with all relevant New Zealand legislation, including credit contracts, consumer protection, and motor vehicle sales laws. The agreement is commonly used by both individuals and businesses, offering flexibility in vehicle acquisition while providing security for both parties through clear terms and conditions for the lease period and subsequent purchase.
