LOA less than 100 euros per month for city cars and 150 euros for family cars
A total of 25,000 vehicles are available this year as part of this bonus open to the lowest-income French people traveling more than 8,000 km per year. Social leasing, launched in December 2023, is a rental with purchase option (LOA) system for less than 100 euros per month for city cars, and 150 euros for family cars (excluding insurance and maintenance).
Without initial contribution, the rental is planned for 3 years, renewable once. The State finances each rental to the tune of 13,000 euros.
40,000 cars rather than 25,000?
With around 90,000 people having submitted a request on a pre-reservation platform, the measure is a success, welcomed Christophe Bchu. To satisfy as many demands as possible, the government is working with car manufacturers to see if we can make 30, 35, 40,000 vehicles rather than 25,000, indicated Christophe Bchu. The device is reserved for vehicles built in Europe.
