As an expat in the U.S., should you buy, lease or rent your car? The quick answer is usually tied to the length of time you want or need the vehicle. Buying usually works best for terms over 3 years, leasing for 2-3 years, and renting for short-term periods less than 2 years.
However, every expat has a unique situation when it comes to their relocation, work assignment and personal transportation needs. There are many parameters to consider when deciding which method of vehicle ownership works best for you and your family.
That’s why IAS offers a variety of expat programs for purchasing, leasing, and renting vehicle solutions to meet your requirements.
