If you love that new car smell, but don’t want the responsibilities of long-term maintenance, consider leasing your next vehicle. Unlike a purchase, most leases allow you to drive a new car every two to three years for a lower monthly payment. In general, if you drive less than 15,000 miles per year, leasing may be the right choice for you. You can lease a car through our dealer network, and some dealers may offer special incentives that can make leasing even more affordable.

1This offer is not guaranteed if you do not meet our credit criteria and if your account is not in good standing. HVCU vehicle refinances, vintage vehicles, and leases are not eligible for the offer. No exceptions will be made or considered. Finance charges will continue to accrue and will be included in the first regularly scheduled payment, which will begin 90 days following loan closing. HVCU expressly reserves the right to terminate this offer at its discretion at any time and without further notice provided to you.
2As an example, an 84-month new auto loan with a fixed rate of 6.99% APR would result in a payment of $15.09 for each $1,000 financed.
3 Rates that are discounted by .25% include a requirement that loan payments are automatically transferred from your savings, checking, or tiered money market account for the life of the loan. The monthly payment is not decreased as a result of this discounted rate.
