Loan or lease?


What is the difference?

A car loan means that you are the registered owner of the vehicle, but Ergo has the first lien on it. The Bank surrenders its rights once the loan has been fully paid.

A car lease agreement means that Ergo is the vehicle's registered owner, and you are the vehicle's registered keeper for tax purposes. Ergo transfers its rights to you once the contract has been paid in full.
