Yep, got my current lease with them. They're part of a bigger overall business and have their own finance house, so they can offer them at whatever price they fancy, which means good deals can be had. Got my current Leon Cupra through them.

My experience from them were that they were great when ordering, but communication was non-existent after that. Easily the worst company I've dealt with by a long margin in terms of updates on the car and such, as it was me having to chase them for everything. That being said, it was the cheapest broker fee I've ever paid, at £99 instead of around £180 and upwards. So, my advice would be to see if they can knock down the processing fee, as i struggled to see what that £99 actually got me. However, the deal on the car was exceptional.

Whatcarleasing will only show prices from dealers. Sometimes there are bargains on there, but the site isn’t very user friendly.

Leaseloco, leasing.com and Carwow are comparison websites, not every broker advertises on every comparison site, so you really need to check them all when looking for a deal.

Zen auto do tend to be competitive, albeit on a small range of cars.

I think that’s a good price. I’d probably see if one of the main dealers who specialise in leasing would be interested in seeing if they can beat it though, and main dealers tend not to charge a fee.

Simpsons Skoda tend to major on leasing https://www.simpsonsskoda.co.uk/pch-offers/ although their advertised price for the Kamiq is higher than your quote from Zen, it’s worth a call to see what they can do.
