If you are one of those new-age buyers who believe that leasing a car is a better option than buying a car, then Skoda India has got your back. The Czech carmaker has joined hands with ORIX Auto Infrastructure, a Japanese company, to provide all cars in its India lineup through a lease.
Skoda currently sells the Rapid, Octavia, Superb and the Kodiaq in India.
Initially, the facility will be offered across 8 cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad. It will later be available nationwide under Skoda’s India 2.0 Project, which is expected to kickstart with the launch of Skoda’s upcoming compact SUV in 2020.
Rentals start at Rs 19,856 per month (for Rapid) and will be open to personal buyers and corporate entities. The maximum leasing limit will be for 5 years and saves the lessees from road tax, insurance, maintenance, tyre and battery change along with several aspects involved in car ownership.
