Skoda Auto India has announced the introduction of car leasing service called 'Clever Lease' starting at ₹22,580 for a month. The leasing service is offered as plain, dry or wet lease for the Skoda Rapid TSI as well as the new Superb.

The service will cater to retail and corporate customers across segments including salaried individuals, working professionals, small and medium business enterprises, corporate entities, and public sector units/undertakings.

In the first phase, the lease programme will be offered across eight metropolitan cities - Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad. In the subsequent phase, the programme will be rolled out nationwide as part of the 'INDIA 2.0' project.

Skoda's Clever Lease programme is inclusive of various benefits and services such as road tax, insurance, breakdown assistance, accidental repairs, end to end maintenance, scheduled tyre and battery changes, and a replacement vehicle.
