Operating lease is a great way to get a new car without having to buy it. It offers many benefits for businesses, sole traders, and individuals alike, with the main advantage being great flexibility and low costs.

 

For small, medium, and large companies that need to continuously update their fleet, operating lease is an ideal solution. It allows you to regularly change your cars and always choose exactly what suits your business type. Furthermore, with an operating lease, you don't have to worry about depreciation, not to mention simplified accounting and tax benefits. Individuals, on the other hand, will appreciate being able to drive worry-free and without having to spend all their life savings on buying a car.

When you can't afford a new car

Buying a new car today costs hundreds of thousands to millions of crowns. Not everyone can afford it, and not everyone is willing to borrow money. Self-employed individuals, companies, and individuals can therefore take advantage of all the benefits of an operating lease and "borrow" a car for as long as they want – for a few months, a year, two, or three. Initial and ongoing costs are only a few thousand per month, and the price includes service and other services.

Nobody cares when and where you drive, what you carry in the car, or what purpose you use it for. You can drive it to clients, on trips, on holidays, or for shopping. Depending on the operating lease tariff you choose, you will have a predetermined maximum annual mileage. But with Birne, you can also choose a flexible tariff without mileage restrictions, which gives you complete freedom.

 

Thanks to various additional services, you don't have to worry about minor car damage, breakdowns, or the need to change to winter tires – Birne can help you with all of this.

 

The money you save can then be invested in the development of your business, or in your hobbies or family.

Zero administration

Buying a new car is not only financially demanding, but it often involves a lot of paperwork – especially if you're buying a car for your company. Without a good accountant, you can easily get lost in it. The advantage of an operating lease is that the associated administration is minimal. Most matters are handled online; then you just sign the contract on-site and drive away in your chosen car.

Nor are you threatened by any excessive bureaucracy further down the line. You don't have to deal with any more paperwork until your contract expires. Even when you go to a service center, the invoice is sent directly to the leasing company. So, the only administrative burden left for you will be the pleasant one – tax advantages.

Fewer service worries

If you dread the idea of going to a service center, arguing with mechanics, and worrying if they'll cut corners, you can relax with an operating lease. You will have to go to a service center because it's necessary to adhere to the service inspection intervals required by the car manufacturer, but the invoice will go to the leasing company. Any complaints will be resolved on the spot, and then the leasing company takes over any further administration.

Moreover, service costs are generally included in the monthly fees, so repairs typically won't cost you anything extra. And you'll have the assurance that the car will always be in good technical condition.
