Leasing a car is like leasing, or renting, anything else. ...

Most of the time, the vehicle you're leasing will still be covered by the manufacturer's warranty, so you won't have to foot the bill for expensive repairs.

This will, however, be determined on the vehicle that you are opting for and will be discussed upfront.
