GETTING ON THE road in a new car can be a journey littered with obstacles. The cost of insurance, tax, a deposit, and fuel all need to be accounted for to begin driving. All of these factors can demoralise you and bring stress and anxiety to what is meant to be a positive and joyful experience. 

Luckily, a new personal leasing service from Nifti is attempting to make getting a new car that little bit easier. Best of all, Nifti offers a huge range of electric options that come with several money-saving features as well as their enhanced green status.

Personal leasing from Nifti gives you the freedom of a new car without the huge expense that often accompanies them. You won’t need to worry about getting a big deposit together or any surprise costs.

Even the cost of servicing and road tax will be added to your fixed monthly cost, which is handled by the Nifti Customer Service Team. Personal leasing with Nifti means you don’t have to worry about struggling through the purchase process of a new car and then being left with it as it loses value. Instead, you can conveniently drive a brand-new car, and pay with a monthly fee.

Personal Leasing (also known as ‘Personal Contract Hire’) is the long-term rental of a new car. You make an initial payment that goes against the total cost of the lease agreement, followed by fixed monthly instalments for the remainder of your contract term that suit your budget. You determine how much you will pay for the personal car lease based on the duration of the term (24, 36, or 48 months) and the annual kilometres allowance you select. You can also include a Maintenance package on most cars. This generates a fixed monthly payment to cover the cost over the lease term.

To get on the road with Nifti, you can simply browse Nifti.ie to find the car that best suits your lifestyle. With a huge selection of car brands, the hardest part will be narrowing down your choice! After you choose your ideal car, select the lease and range that you need right now. When you find the right car, you complete an online application with some basic personal and financial details. Once you’ve proven affordability and get approved, Nifti will deliver the car to your home

For example, you could drive a brand new Hyundai Kona for a monthly payment of €485.51, based on a 48-month lease, a 10,000km mileage allowance, and an initial payment of 3,000. An annual charge of €120 for Road Tax is also required.

Within Nifti, they offer a wide selection of electric vehicles that will help you make further savings against the cost of owning a regular car. Electric vehicles don’t only have massive saving benefits with fuel, you actually save money across all general daily motoring outgoings. Fewer maintenance costs arise when driving electric too.

Concerns to do with the range of electric vehicles are largely unfounded. For those worried about their capability to go the distance, the average range of an Electric car is 300 – 350 kilometres on a single charge. Statistics have shown that Irish people only travel between 15 – 20 kilometres daily. If you do need to top up the car on a longer journey, national rapid charging is now widely available, and 25 minutes of charging gets you to 80% battery.

According to research from Nifti, switching to an electric car can save you a large amount of money, depending on your own circumstances. They looked at a family who drives a 10-year-old SUV, with a 1.5 diesel engine. The family travels approximately 15,000 kilometres per year. This family would save just shy of €6,000 over 4 years by switching to a 40kw electric car.
