Medium-term leasing for electric cars

medium-term rental

For some time now, the car leasing market has been taking center stage. Whether it's for short, medium or long-term leasing, the French love this type of financing. And the reason? Quite simply. Both private individuals and professionals tend to use this form of financing, quite simply because it's more flexible.

In particular, this makes it easier to smooth out expenses, compared with a cash purchase, which would require you to pay out a large sum at once and/or take out a bank loan.

In short, with leasing, users seek to pay only for use, and no longer for ownership. Leasing accounted for 42% of financing methods for new vehicles registered in France. This percentage rises to over 82% for new vehicle registrations among professionals.

At Beev, we've often talked to you about long-term leasing (LLD ) and leasing with purchase option ( LOA ). In fact, we regularly offer you very attractive deals on these two financing options. However, we've spoken to you less frequently about LMD (Location Moyenne Durée), and now it's time to redeem ourselves.

What is medium-term rental?

The LMD is a rental contract lasting between 1 and 24 months, renewable. Beyond 24 months, you'll need to take out a long-term leasing contract ranging from 24 months to 60 months. For less than one month, you'll need to take out a short-term leasing contract (LCD).

LMD is therefore a good solution for those who want flexibility. However, this flexibility comes at a cost. In fact, the LMD is more expensive than a LLD, which is normal given that you are leasing the vehicle for a much shorter period. The lessor also charges you for the time it takes to find a lessee for the vehicle after your rental period. That's why an LMD should only be a temporary solution, not a long-term one.

In what situation is LMD recommended?

As described above, the LMD is a medium-term emergency solution. Medium-term leasing of your electric vehicle will benefit you in certain specific cases.

For example:

  • You've just finished your previous leasing contract and are waiting for your next vehicle to be delivered. The LMD contract can serve as a transition between the two vehicles. 
  • Another possible situation: you're traveling by plane or train over a long period of time, and you need a ride on the spot. LMD is there to save the day. 
  • If you'd like to test drive a car before taking out a leasing contract or buying it outright, the LMD is for you!

Medium-term leasing is also suitable for more professional use. For a long business trip, or a temporary contract in a city far from home, LMD can be a good solution. Your employer can pay for it.

The advantages of medium-term leasing for electric vehicles

The LMD has a number of advantages that will convince you to take the plunge. As we said in the previous section, this type of financing will be of great benefit to you during the transitional periods of vehicle changes and long-term stays. The main advantage of this financing method, which is relatively short compared with a leasing contract, is its flexibility. Since you don't keep your vehicle for long, you have more freedom than with a leasing contract. 

Another notable advantage is that your contract includes a wide range of insurances. These include 

  • Vehicle anti-theft warranty 
  • All-risk insurance
  • 24/7 medical and technical assistance
  • Maintenance

So you can relax.
