Our article focuses on who can drive your lease car other than you and outlines the factors you’ll need to take into account. These will be helpful to know when allowing other people to drive your lease vehicle, particularly younger people, such as your children who may have recently passed their driving test and need access to a car for the first time.

What is Road Tax?
Road tax or VED (which is the official term, standing for Vehicle Excise Duty) is a yearly tax paid by the owners of cars, motorbikes, vans, and other motor vehicles registered in the UK.

The money road tax raises is paid directly into the central government fund, which is used for projects that benefit everyone, which include but are not limited to works to maintain and improve the road network in the UK, including repairing potholes and upgrading motorways. Currently fully electric cars pay no road tax at all. They are zero-rated st ..read more

A hybrid car tends to be more efficient than a standard petrol model, incorporating a battery-powered electric motor with a petrol or diesel engine. By sharing the load, the engine in a hybrid car uses less fuel to run than a traditional car, lowering its emissions. Hybrids come in various forms which all work slightly differently, including mild hybrids, self-charging hybrids and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). Self-charging hybrids, for example, draw their power from the engine and the car braking. Lower carbon emissions mean hybrids qualify for much more enticing benefit-in-kin ..read more
