What is the difference?
A car loan means that you are the registered owner of the vehicle but Ergo has first lien on the vehicle. The bank surrenders its rights once the loan has been fully paid. You are responsible for all taxes, insurance, maintenance and other costs.
A car lease agreement means that Ergo is the registered owner of the vehicle and you are the registered keeper of the vehicle, for tax purposes. Ergo transfers its rights over to you once the contract has been paid in full. You are responsible for all taxes, insurance, maintenance and other costs.
