Too Afraid to Ask

Leasing is like renting a car for a few years. You pay each month and at the end you can return it or buy it.

Technical Definition

Leasing a vehicle means paying monthly fees to use the car for a set period, after which you return it or buy it. It often requires little to no down payment and can be cheaper than buying outright.
