We can search for your vehicle according to your wishes, needs and budget (new or used). We will locate and negotiate pricing for you with a dealer close to your location. We can, in most cases, get better pricing, as we are working with one of the largest buyers of vehicles in the U.S.
Order a new vehicle customized directly from the factory. This will give you a larger discount on the car. Note: the waiting period can be 3 to 6 months.

* Note: some states will require a local driver's license.
1. Open Ended Equity Lease program – Tailored for expats: Technically a bank loan with a residual value gives you the best and most flexible financing solution. The “Open Ended Equity Lease” provides the flexibility of a bank loan and the low monthly payments of a lease. Early termination is possible and there are no wear and tear penalties. This flexible lease option is usually only available to businesses. You are responsible for the un-depreciated amount, called the reduced book value (RBV), when the lease term ends or if you exit the lease early. If our partner sells the vehicle for more than the RBV at the end of the lease, you get to keep the difference. If we sell the vehicle for less, you pay the difference.
2. The Closed End Lease: Function the way many customers perceive all leases to function: You are restricted to a specific mileage and are charged a fee for every mile over the contracted limit. You are also responsible for any abnormal wear and tear, such as broken, dented, or damaged items. Also, you are responsible for a cancellation fee if you have to break the lease early. This option is not ideal for expats.
* Important question to ask before deciding for a “Closed End Lease” is “How much will it cost me to break the lease at any time during the lease term?”.
3. Cash Purchase Program (Prepaid Lease): With ExpatRide’s Cash Purchase Program you are technically buying cash, but gaining four major benefits you will not get with a regular cash purchase: Personal Car Shopper service, only pay for part of the car, build a U.S. credit score and assistance with selling the car.
4. Traditional purchase finance (Similar to a regular bank loan): Allows you to take ownership of the vehicle at the end of the term.
