Private Lease is a long-term car rental option for private individuals. The leasing period for new cars is 47 months; i.e., just under four years. A shorter period applies for used cars.
Why is the leasing period 47 months? All cars are subject to inspection after four years (= 48 months). By setting the leasing period to 47 months, you won’t need to worry about the inspection, because we’ll take care of it after you’ve returned the car.
For a fixed monthly fee, you will get a fully equipped car and service pack. Virtually everything is included, such as maintenance, vehicle assistance, car insurance and repairs. All you have to do is purchase fuel.
Private Lease ensures a safe and smooth driving experience for a fixed monthly fee.
- You get to select a fully equipped car based on your preferences
- Full service included: the convenience of a car without having to worry about maintenance and inspections
- A fixed monthly fee means you pay the same rate throughout the lease
Operational lease is a form of rental agreement, which means you will not become the owner of the lease car and you will not be given the option to purchase the lease car at the end of the leasing period. The lease car will be registered in the name of KBC Autolease.
During the application process, you can specify the number of kilometres you expect to drive each year. We will send you a message through KBC Touch or KBC Mobile asking you to submit the mileage to us each year, based on which we will draw up a mileage statement.
If the actual mileage exceeds the estimate, we will bill you for the difference. If the actual mileage is less than the estimate, the difference will be credited to your account. This only applies if the difference is more than 10%.
Yes. You are entitled to change your mind about signing your lease contract during a period of 14 calendar days after signing the lease contract (electronically or in print).
You can send your cancellation by post or e-mail.

The leasing period for new cars is 47 months. Varying leasing periods apply for used cars. The contractual number of months is specified in the Special Conditions of your car.
Note that once you’ve reached the maximum mileage, the lease contract will be terminated prematurely (even if the agreed leasing period has not yet expired). The maximum mileage is 180,000 km for all non-electric cars, and 100,000 km for electric cars.

- Third-party liability insurance for motor vehicles
If you want to drive your car on public roads, you are required to take out Third-Party Liability insurance (TPL). This insurance covers any loss, damage or injury you cause to others if you are at fault, and is valid in Belgium and all the countries listed on the certificate of insurance (the ‘green card’).

We provide legal assistance insurance as a supplement to our third-party liability insurance for motor vehicles. This cover provides for your criminal and civil defence, for example to recover the damage to your car from the person liable.
- Risk arrangement
KBC Autolease assumes the risks of the car being completely written off and of a partial loss (such as due to theft, your own negligence, storm damage or glass breakage).

For the claim events listed under ‘Risk arrangement’ in the General Conditions, KBC Autolease stipulates a deductible or ‘Client’s Own Risk’, the amount of which is specified in the ‘Special Conditions’.

The deductible is 250 euros per claim.
You receive your first invoice for the lease fee immediately after delivery of your lease car.
