Expat Car Leasing & Subscriptions
Moving to Scotland for work? Our expat route is built for applicants without a UK credit history, so an empty UK footprint won’t hold up your application.
Standard UK credit checks lean on a track record most new arrivals haven’t had the chance to build. Our expat leasing route is built around that gap, assessing your application without requiring an existing UK credit history.
You’ll need a UK residential address and proof of UK income to qualify. This route is meant for people genuinely relocating to live and work here, so it isn’t suitable for short trips or leisure hire.
Once you’re approved, expat customers get access to the same subscription and leasing options as everyone else, delivered to your new home in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee or elsewhere in Scotland.
