Re: Car leasing with no credit history in US?
We used VW leasing - they only needed a letter from employer ( we were on an L1B)
a quick search should bring up loads of other threads on the subject too..

I leased a new Ford Focus one week after I got my work permit, car loans and finance are usually the easiest credit to obtain and kick start your ratings.

Re: Car leasing with no credit history in US?
We moved to NJ in June and leased a Jetta from VW in Manhatten. We went in on a Sunday afternoon and completed the paperwork and picked up the car a couple of weeks later (our choice). It was quite painless, and we had to supply the following documents:
Letter from employer confirming salary, position etc..
SSN number
Passport with visa
3 x references from US persons
The deal you get will depend on the current promotions running at the time. You will also need to supply insurance documentation before they will release the car.

Thanks HartleyHare and watchamacallit - very helpful information!
Would you be able to tell me how much roughly it costs you the lease per month (just to get an overall sense and idea - I know that the actual cost for me will be different depending on current promotions, etc.).
In terms of US references - did these have to be in some special format provided by the lease company/car dealer?
Many thanks!

Hi,
We put down a deposit of $1000 and pay $399 per month for 24 months. This includes servicing and all fees and taxes, plates etc..
