State Farm offers the cheapest insurance for leased cars, with premiums averaging $883 annually. Most car leasing companies require full coverage car insurance, including liability, collision and comprehensive coverages, and may require higher liability limits than the state minimum.
In summary, while there are benefits to leasing, the primary disadvantage is that you do not gain ownership or build equity over time, leading to a situation where you have ongoing payments with no eventual payoff.
As a result, you'll often find more attractive lease deals and incentives. The months of November and December are particularly fruitful, as dealerships push hard to meet their annual sales targets.
