Car leases typically do not include insurance, but you will need to buy it to protect your—and the lessor’s—investment.

A car subscription gives you access to a fleet of vehicles while a car lease is usually limited to one vehicle and is often seen as the short-term alternative to buying a vehicle.

Leasing is a great option if you want a car short-term or want to test out the vehicle before purchasing. Buying outright offers more freedom, but it's costly.

A car lease swap can transfer your lease to another person before it's paid off, but make sure it's done by the book.
