How to Lease a Smart Car

Smart USA sells the Mercedes-Benz-engineered Smart cars, which are available in five different models. As of October 2010, lease offers were available for three models: the 2010 pure chrome yellow special edition, the 2010 passion coupe and the 2010 passion cabriolet. Lease offers are for 36 months and require a down payment, which varies depending on the model you choose.

  • Submit a credit application on the Smart USA website. You get the results by email within four hours.

  • Print out your confirmation page that shows the credit decision. You must be approved by Smart Car USA financing or you cannot lease a Smart car.

  • Identify your closest Smart car dealer by using the Dealer Locator on the Smart USA website.

  • Bring your credit decision confirmation page, along with two recent paycheck stubs, to your local Smart car dealer to fill out your lease paperwork.
