  • I drive more than 12,000 kilometres per year, is that allowed?

    Absolutely. If you drive more than the agreed 12,000 kilometres per year, you can easily purchase additional private lease kilometres. This is simple, affordable and unlimited. Any extra kilometres driven above 12,000 km will be settled with you either annually or monthly.

    Example:
    If you drive 5,000 extra kilometres per year (totalling 17,000 km), it will cost:
    5,000 x € 0.06 = € 300 per year, or € 25 per month.

    Note: The rate in this example (€ 0.06) may differ from the rate listed for other cars. Want to know the actual rate? Please check the page of your selected car.

    We keep it simple, transparent and affordable.

  • Can I choose all-weather tyres?

    Yes, you can choose all-weather tyres for a new lease car. These tyres are safe for both summer and winter driving. This is a contract option that costs €15 per month and can be selected when configuring your lease contract. Please note that it is not possible to add this option once the contract has started. Of course, you can always buy and fit them yourself.

    Are you interested in all-weather tyres for a used lease car? Please contact our Sales team. The rates for all-weather tyres on used lease cars may differ from the standard €15 per month.

    Tip: our all-weather tyres are approved under Germany’s stricter road regulations.

  • Can I put stickers on my lease car?

    We understand that some wear is normal after driving a car for several years. That is why DirectLease makes a distinction between wear and actual damage. Curious to know what counts as acceptable wear? You can find it in our lease car return policy.

  • Why can manufacturer figures differ in real-world driving?

    At DirectLease, we always provide official manufacturer data (based on the WLTP standard), such as range, fuel consumption, charging speed, and load capacity. However, these figures may vary in practice. That’s because many factors influence actual consumption, charging time, and a car’s performance, regardless of the fuel type.

    What factors play a role?

    The stated values are measured under standardised test conditions. In reality, the actual figures are often less favourable than those provided by the car manufacturer. Several factors can impact efficiency and performance, including:

    • Driving style: Rapid acceleration and high-speed driving both consume more energy than a steady driving style.
    • Weather conditions: Cold, heat, and wind can all affect consumption and charging speed. Batteries perform best at temperatures between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius.
    • Vehicle load: A heavier-loaded car uses more energy, especially when driving in hilly terrain.
    • Battery level: An electric car charges faster when the battery is at a low percentage. As the battery fills up, charging speed decreases.
    • Road surface and elevation changes: Driving in mountainous areas or on rougher asphalt requires more energy.
    • Use of air conditioning or heating: These systems consume extra electricity or fuel, which can reduce the driving range.
    • Driving conditions: For petrol cars, motorway driving is often more fuel-efficient than city driving. For electric cars, it’s the opposite – they consume more energy on the motorway than in urban traffic.

    Where can I find realistic consumption and charging data?

    Want a better idea of what to expect in real-world driving conditions? Check out these sources:

    🔹 The car manufacturer’s website – This provides official specifications and additional details, such as urban and motorway consumption.
    🔹 ev-database.org – A useful resource for real-world experiences with electric vehicles.
