For many of us, flexibility is key and that is what Ayvens Flex offers. The flexibility to have a full-service lease from 1-24 months, a vehicle that’s available immediately, no early termination fees if you decide to return it early and a replacement vehicle if your car is out of service (for repairs) for more than 1 day.

Looking for a lease car but on a budget? Or need a car quickly? Used car leasing can be the perfect solution. All cars are four years old or younger, well maintained and have a low mileage. Leasing a used car means the car is available to be delivered much faster than a new car, 12-month leases are available, and it is more affordable than leasing a new car.
