Supporting Documents Required to Lease A Car

You will need to provide some basic information, documentation and proof of identification when leasing a car with CVS.

We like to keep things as simple as possible for our clients, and unlike our competitors, only request the information we need to process your application.

The application and supporting documentation is used to understand our 2 leasing requirements:

You can afford the lease
You are traceable through your home address and employment history

The quicker you can supply the documentation as part of your application, the quicker we can give you a decision and get you driving your new car.

Proof of Income and Affordability

We require copies of your pay slips from the past 3 calendar months, or a P60 form showing your total salary for the last tax year. Please also provide copies of bank statements showing receipt of your salary for all instances.

Alternatively, if you are Self-employed, please provide your HMRC SA302 form confirming your latest tax calculation, and the correlating bank statements showing receipt of the funds as shown on the SA302 form.

If you are in receipt of regular benefits (including Child benefit, State Pension, Disability Living Allowance, Incapacity Benefit, Careers Allowance, Industrial Injuries Benefit, Severe Disability Allowance): Please provide evidence that this income is regular, along with details of any end date (if the benefit is end-dated).
