Our innovative online-based offering presents short-term car leases of 3-months or 6-months to almost anyone, regardless of credit status.

We offer an affordable, all-inclusive cost that takes care of maintenance, insurance and taxes, and includes free monthly kilometres on a range of vehicles, depending on budget and need. Key to the offering is the immediacy of the service. The entire process of applying for, securing and collecting a vehicle can happen in less than a day.
WhyBuyCars was born from the demands of a changing climate where the future is uncertain and people want a certain sense of flexibility and freedom, while remaining in control of the finances and fortunes.

The company prioritises ease of use and efficiency in a model that looks to put you in the driving seat, with as little red tape and in as little time as possible.
