Lease swap programs allow you to lease a car with no initial cash outlay

A Lease Swap program provides a way for someone who wants to get out of their car lease early. They can either do a car lease swap with another person or they can just dispose of their lease by allowing someone else to pick up the remaining monthly payments.

There are many reasons that companies want an auto lease swap to get out of their lease: bad economic times may have forced them to reduce ongoing expenses, a business owner may have retired and no longer uses the vehicle or maybe a company policy changed and they no longer provide leased vehicles.

As a car buyer it's a great deal. You can get into a relatively new car by merely contracting to take over the remaining lease payments. Another great benefit is that many times you don't need to put down a deposit on the vehicle like you would if you were to take out a new lease.

Another advantage is that you aren't locked into a long term lease - just the time that is remaining on the original lease.

A problem with doing this is that not all lease companies allow their clients to "sell their lease". That's where independent companies, that specialize in exchanging leases, come into action.
