Top ten benefits of leasing a Toyota vehicle instead of buying
- Lower monthly payments compared to financing a purchase
- Access to the latest car models with up-to-date technology and features
- No need for a large down payment or a large sum of cash upfront
- Warranty coverage for repairs and maintenance for the duration of the lease
- No need to worry about depreciation, as you are only paying for the use of the car for a fixed period
- Flexibility to upgrade to a new car every few years without having to sell or trade in your current car
- Fewer upfront costs, as leasing a car typically requires only a security deposit and the first month’s payment
- Lower sales tax, as sales tax is only charged on the monthly lease payment rather than the full value of the car
- No need to worry about selling or trading in the car at the end of the lease term
- Potential tax benefits for business owners who lease a vehicle for business purposes.

Need a Toyota vehicle for the short term?
Renting a Toyota commits to a vehicle for an even shorter period of time, potentially only a week or weekend. If you don’t need a vehicle for long, renting is the way to go. Check out our Toyota rentals.
