I'm actually looking to move from owning to leasing a car because it's been false economy. The maintenance costs and stress have been so high as to make it cheaper to pay a few hundred quid each month.

I'm not familiar with UK laws. Is the lease bundled with insurance?

Or separate thing?

Not inherently. I have the option of having the lease company handle insurance, but it's much more cost effective not to.
