Why Leasing.com is THE car leasing comparison site

So, in February 2000, over 21 years ago, I created the business that launched what is now THE car leasing comparison website – Leasing.com

It was early days in the internet, long before Wi-Fi, and the website was a completely original idea. Leasing.com was originally called ContractHireAndLeasing.com and enabled companies offering car leasing the opportunity to advertise their car leasing special offers in real time to an in market audience of people actually looking for car leasing.

Quite a simple idea, but very effective, very popular with consumers and the site drove very high volumes of quality enquiries to the companies that advertised with us and we quickly gained a very good reputation as THE place to advertise contract hire / car leasing online.

To begin with we only had brokers advertising and then as word got round about how effective the site was we started to get more brokers and then franchised main dealers as advertising partners. Today we are proud to be in the unique position of counting brokers, dealers , car manufacturers and funders as long term advertising partners on leasing.com

We aggregate and compare the widest range of offers from the widest range of partners giving consumers the best choice in the market. There really is not much point in looking anywhere else! We’ve now helped millions of people find the best deal on their new car.

Like with all good things though there are always plenty of people that copy you.

In the office a couple of days ago I was having a clear out and came across a list websites that had launched over the years doing what we do. Most of them had launched in a blaze of glory, made really impressive claims about how they were going to make a difference and many even pitched themselves as being similar to us, but better and so on… Thanks to our many loyal advertisers that forwarded on the emails that they received from these various new sites.

Most of the sites were all marketed as “The biggest” “The Best” “The busiest” “The No. 1” even “The Original”. Many even claimed to have original functionality, industry first features etc that we had in many cases before some of these sites were launched. Fake it unitil you make it seems to be a common strategy. That’s the thing on the Wild West of the internet.

Some of the sites looked good, some really good, seemed credible, some had funding and some didn’t.

They had various different pricing models, some offered free trials, some didn’t.

Some of our advertisers gave some of them a go.

Out of curiosity I looked at all of the websites today and not one of them in the list below still exists or advertises car leasing deals.

There are a few big name motoring websites of course that have had car leasing channels over the years that are doing well, but I don’t want to mention them here because in many cases we partner with them and power their car leasing channel. There are indeed some others not on the list, because although they still exist, they no longer have a leasing section.

As they say imitation is flattery. People will always copy you, but they will never be you.

At Leasing.com we are proud to actually be the ORIGINAL, the BIGGEST, the BEST, The No1

That’s why we only need to say: Leasing.com – THE car leasing comparison website.

Integrity is everything. Our name and reputation say it all

Great to hear September was flying - and glad the brand is flying too... Can I ask - how much of that traffic was EV related? Ish... ?
