At Flexed, one of the most common questions we get asked more than any other is ‘What Age Do You Have To Be To Lease A Car?’ And our simple answer, is that anyone can lease a car from us, as long as they’re over 18 years old, have a full valid UK driving licence, and can afford the monthly payments and prove they’re eligible for vehicle finance. This means that whether you’re a new, young motorist or an experienced driver who’s been behind the wheel of a car for many years, you’ll always be welcome at Flexed.
And of course, if you’re a non-UK citizen looking to lease a new car, you can do so with us – please Visit our FAQ page on non-UK citizen leasing for more details.

Other small car options
We’re big fans of the Suzuki Swift at Flexed; Suzuki have really made this car into a household name over more than 40 years of production and improvements. We stock the Suzuki Swift 1.2 Mild Hybrid Motion Auto for our customers, which we think is a great car. It can be leased from us for the highly competitive price of just £449.99 ex. VAT, based on a 28 day rolling contract. The Mild Hybrid Motion comes with adaptive cruise control for easy motorway driving, as well as blind spot monitoring and a rear view camera with parking sensors to make any parking task a smooth, stress-free experience. It also comes with traffic sign recognition, which can be a great help in busy urban areas with large concentrations of signs.
As far as the engine is concerned, The Swift features a responsive 1.2-litre petrol engine allied to Suzuki’s self-charging mild hybrid technology. This results in low emissions and superb fuel economy, perfect for the modern world.
Car leasing options from Toyota
Available to order now and priced on the basis of a 28 day rolling contract, we have the Toyota Corolla Estate 1.8 Hybrid Icon 5dr Auto from £529.99 excl. VAT per month. This is a stylish hybrid estate car with a generous boot and a spacious cabin for a comfortable ride.
BYD – the greener alternative
BYD (which stands for ‘build your dreams’) are growing very quickly in popularity in the UK, and with good reason. They’ve been in business since 2003, and in 2022 BYD even outsold household name Tesla in global markets, selling nearly 2 million vehicles around the world. They have won numerous awards, including being shortlisted for several at the prestigious Geneva Motor Show in 2024.
A common concern with the electric and hybrid cars that BYD specialises in is the battery range, which isn’t a problem with BYD – the BYD SEAL Electric Saloon for example has a range of 350 miles! The company are committed to striving for excellence in battery, EV and PHEV technology, driving future solutions for the climate and environment.
We feel that the BYD Dolphin Electric Hatchback (265 mile range) is a great choice for seniors. The Dolphin features comfortable and supportive multi-way adjustable leather seats, and with numerous storage areas in the cabin (including large door pockets, a central (covered) storage area, and a storage tray beneath the main driver information screen, you’ll never be short of places to put your things. And if the grandkids need to take plenty of things with them, BYD have that covered as well, with a 345-litre boot that can be expanded by folding the seats if required.
As well as the above great cars we also have many options on our special offers page on an ongoing basis, so be sure to have a look there too!
Whether you’re a new or young driver, or someone with plenty of experience behind the wheel, we’ve got a wide range of fantastic cars to lease on a short-term basis or for long term rental.
