Description
An "Automobile Lease Agreement" is generally used to describe the formal contract or agreement that binds the leasing customer to the terms and conditions set forth by a leasing company or bank ("financier") . It is usually prepared or provided by the automobile dealership. This type of Automobile Lease is one the methods by which an automobile may be financed. It allows the customer to drive an automobile by making monthly payments to the financier. The payments serve to compensate the financier for the depreciation in value of the automobile during the time it is being driven. The financier will also assess a monthly finance charge that is similar to interest on a loan. This compensates the financier for the use of their money that is tied up in the purchase of the automobile from a dealer. The financier or car dealership actually owns the automobile. The automobile is leased for a specific period of time and is typically returned to the car dealership at the end of that time.

The renter doesn't have the authority to let somebody borrow it. So the driver doesn't technically have permission from the owner to drive it.Now as it applies to a rental car almost every rental car company requires any person who is going to drive the car be listed on the contract. In short, the primary renter is taking a huge risk if they allow someone not on the contract to drive the car. It depends on jurisdiction and the state the vehicle is registered in etc. The driver will need to possess a valid driver's license, be at least 25 years of age and be subject to any applicable driving record check. Anyone with a suspended license cannot legally drive, and Budget requires that all renters have a valid, active license. If a driver is licensed in a state other than Michigan, the department may submit a copy of the driver's out of state motor vehicle record to RMI for review.
