Best Car Leasing Deals of 2008: Small Family Car
Written By Richard Lawton Published On: Jan 27 2009 
Some of the UK’s biggest selling cars can be found in this category, with the likes of the
Ford Focus,
Vauxhall Astra,
Volkswagen Golf and
Audi A3 perennial favourites amongst the public. The choice of vehicle available to consumers and businesses is also large with Volkswagen alone offering four small family sized cars (
Beetle, Golf,
Golf plus and
Jetta) in all over 30 models are available, providing a bewildering amount of choice.Small family cars are also a key component of many business fleets owing to their practicality and lower running costs than larger cars, furthermore they are often preferred by staff looking for a car that is fun to drive but hassle-free for the daily commute.On paper this category promised to be a difficult decision for the judges to make, however one deal stood out head and shoulders from the rest, with Skyfleet ltd coming out top with a truly fantastic deal on the Mercedes Benz A150 Classic SE 5 door.The Kent-based automotive brokers’ deal was advertised on ContractHireAndLeasing.com for most of 2008 and sold consistently through the year. The
Mercedes Benz A150 was available for a small £110 per month on a 3+23 10,000 miles per annum contract hire basis.
The Mercedes A-series is the baby of the German car-makers range and has proven a very popular choice for people wanting a small family car with bags of room with the prestigious marque; all wrapped up in a small monthly payment. The car also looks the part with classic Mercedes Benz aesthetics and with its excellent driving position it has proven to be a tempting package for many.Paul Isaacs, Managing Director at Skyfleet Ltd:“We thought when we put this deal together for the Mercedes Benz that it would be popular and that has proven to be the case. We advertised the deal on ContractHireAndLeasing.com for most of 2008 and had a constant stream of genuine enquiries. Obviously we are delighted to have been awarded the accolade.”Faye Sunderland at Really Good Domains comments:“Without doubt the Skyfleet deal was one of the best of the year, it goes to show what a competitive deal advertised on ContractHireAndLeasing.com can achieve. There will be plenty of satisfied people up and down the country now driving a brand new Mercedes Benz A-series.”This vehicle class also saw two further deals which in the eyes of the judges were excellent value for money.Central (UK) Vehicle Leasing offered visitors to ContractHireAndLeasing.com the chance to drive the excellent Audi A3 1.6 SE Sporthatch for only £159.99 a month; based on a 3+23 10,000 miles per annum contract hire deal.Not to be out done, the Volkswagen Golf 1.9 TDI S was available from Cherry Pick Vehicle Solutions at a low £171.99 per month, based on a contract hire deal of 3+23 10,000miles per annum.All prices are exclusive of VAT and may not be indicative of current deals.
