Leasing or car loan in Switzerland: what to choose in 2026?
Between leasing and car loan, the choice rarely comes down to the displayed monthly payment: it depends on your relationship with ownership, your actual mileage and your ability to absorb end-of-contract fees.

The loan, for its part, makes you the owner from day one, with the constraints that entails. This guide compares the two options on a detailed case study, outlines contractual pitfalls and clarifies what the Federal Consumer Credit Act actually protects.

How to settle a lease to sell your car
You've found a buyer for your car, but one detail is blocking everything: it's still under a lease contract.
