ABOUT LEASEHACKR

Leasehackr is the web’s largest community dedicated to car leasing and automotive financial literacy. Whether you’re here to discover the latest deals, learn negotiation techniques, or chat about cars, you’ve come to the right place.

Leasehackr produces independent, original content such as Leasing 101 and Editor’s Picks to guide shoppers through the seemingly daunting process of buying or leasing a car. Its proprietary Leasehackr Calculator has become an essential tool for anyone negotiating a lease deal. Our creative resources have been featured in the New York Times, Bloomberg, Nerdwallet, Yahoo! Finance, and Automotive News.

At the heart of Leasehackr is its active discussion forum. Unlike other platforms which are built with strong financial support and commercial interest, Leasehackr is community-driven and centers around crowdsourcing knowledge. Members help each other by sharing experiences, reviewing offers, and answering questions on car leasing and personal finance.

Dealers and brokers also participate in our community’s Marketplace. They contribute valuable perspectives as sellers and post competitive, no-nonsense lease offers tailored to the Leasehackr reader.

 
 
 
 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I use Leasehackr to find a deal?

Generally, our users fall into two groups. On one end, we have the DIY crowd who will educate themselves on the fundamentals of car shopping (we call it the Leasehackr Method) to negotiate a deal. It may take some reading to master — but our passionate community is here to help. Once you understand where to search and which number to tweak, you’ll realize it’s quite straightforward, and you might find yourself sticking around long after you’ve purchased or leased your car!

On the other end, we recognize that not everybody is interested in becoming a leasing guru. Thankfully, the forum’s dealer and broker representatives post no-hassle deals on the Marketplace. Because deals are subject to community vetting, these offers tend to be more attractive than what consumers would find elsewhere.

Michael and Victoria after KTLA’s interview of Leasehackr in 2017.

Leasehackr was founded in 2015 as a passion project by Victoria (@littleviolette) and Michael (@michael). Sharing the frustration around the opaque and seemingly confusing world of car shopping, we created Leasehackr to unearth the exciting possibilities of leasing when done in an informed way. Leasehackr quickly evolved from a humble blog to a community where buyers and sellers exchange insights and deals.

Despite Leasehackr’s growth, which has completely been organic, we have worked tirelessly to keep Leasehackr true to its core — educating and empowering the consumer to make better decisions. We hope to keep Leasehackr a helpful, community-powered resource with your participation and support! 

How does Leasehackr stay free and open?

To keep our site running, we rely primarily on member contributions. Of course, the Leasehackr knowledge base would not have been possible without the avid engagement from our users!
