Does a bigger deposit lower my monthly rental?

Yes. The monthly rental is calculated on the vehicle value less your deposit, so a larger deposit produces a lower monthly amount on the same vehicle.

Which is cheaper over the full term?

A larger deposit is generally cheaper across the term, because less value is being carried monthly. A smaller deposit costs less today and more each month.

What happens to the deposit at the end of the term?

Everything about the rental deposit, including how it is treated at the end of the term and the option to purchase the vehicle, is set out in the rental agreement you sign. Ask us to walk you through that clause before you sign.

Can I change the split after approval?

Before you sign, yes — tell us the deposit you want to put down and we requote. After signing, the deposit and monthly rental are fixed for the term.
