How we make money
Complete Car Lease is not a dealer, lessor, or broker. We are a free service that republishes manufacturer lease offers and connects shoppers with a participating dealer. When you ask to be connected about a lease deal, we pass your information to a participating dealer near you, and that dealer pays us for the introduction. You never pay us anything, and what a dealer pays does not change what we write, which deals we display, or how we rank them.
What actually happens to your information
This is the part most sites in our industry do not spell out, so we will.
If you submit a request on the live deals board, we share the details you gave us — your contact information and the deal you were interested in — with a dealer in your area. That dealer then contacts you. We are paid for the introduction whether or not you end up leasing anything.
That means you should expect to be contacted, and by a dealership rather than by us. If you would rather not be contacted, do not submit the form. Reading this site does not put you on any list.
What we are not
- We are not a lessor or lender. We do not price, approve, or fund leases, and we cannot tell you what you will qualify for.
- We are not a dealer or broker. We do not sell or lease vehicles, hold inventory, or negotiate on your behalf.
- The prices on our pages are not our offers. They are manufacturer advertised lease examples, republished with their program dates and conditions. They expire, vary by region, and assume well-qualified credit.
What this means for the content
We have an obvious interest in you leasing a car. Pretending otherwise would be the least trustworthy thing on this page, so instead here are the specific rules that limit it.
Dealers pay for introductions, not for coverage. No dealer, leasing company, or manufacturer can pay to be recommended, to appear in an article, or to have something removed from one. Deal rankings are ordered by the advertised numbers, not by who pays us.
Distress content carries no calls to action. Pages about payments you cannot make, totaled cars, repossession, deployments, and leases signed in regret have nothing to click. Those are the moments where our incentive and your interest are furthest apart, so we take our incentive off the table entirely.
We say when not to lease. Leasing is genuinely wrong for high-mileage drivers and people who keep cars a decade, and our pages say so plainly. That advice costs us money and it stays because it is correct.
