thanks.  when you say withhold, do you mean they charge you an extra month for the damage?  or they will return to you if the car is ok after some time?  

when you say use company account, don't you have to have a real company?  or you just open a company for this purpose?

Well, usually they ask you for the first and last payment
when you check out the car, so if not damage on the car,
they send you a cheque in mail.
They ask a void cheque that they can debit from the account,
you can set up a personal chequing account just for that purpose,
and declare your  tax return.
Opening a business is so easy, and since the government do not
quarantee success, you can always lose money and offset your
high  employment income.

this is getting into a taxation discussion now.. but i am interested to know more.  if i already have a high income job, and i open another business.  can i still expense the full lease payment, or i can only claim some of it?  reason is one may argue that i use the car for my job more than my 'business'?
