Not always. They sometimes advertise as leasing, but then it's really is like buying, with some loan, and at the end you really own the car. Then there is 'real' lease where you don't end up owning the car, but most times pay more over the duration of them then when you would have bought it, and selled after the duration. In that case all maintenance is also paid, but you need to be really careful for the price of making more miles than in your contact, it returning it before the agreed duration. For a small car, it can be a good deal through.

thanks!
