How Leasing Through Rivervale Works

Step-by-Step Process

1. Browse and Compare Deals - use Rivervale’s online tools to filter offers based on budget, vehicle type, mileage, and fuel type.
2. Get a Personalised Quote - view side-by-side offers from multiple funders, including Lex Autolease, with clear pricing and no hidden charges.
3. Submit Your Application - complete the online application. Rivervale will manage credit checks and documentation.
4. Vehicle Delivery - once approved, your new lease vehicle is delivered to your chosen location.
5. Manage Your Lease Through Caura - if your Rivervale lease is funded by Lex Autolease, Caura gives you full access to your lease — check payments, view your agreement, and book servicing, all from your phone. If you’re with a different funder, you’ll need to manage your lease directly with the funder. But you can still use Caura to handle MOTs, tolls, insurance, and other car admin with ease.
6. Renew Easily - Caura reminds Lex Autolease customers when their lease is ending — and unlocks exclusive in-app renewal deals.

What You Can Do in Caura

Instant Lease Access and Overview

• View complete lease details by simply pairing your number plate
• Access payment schedules, contract terms, and renewal dates
• Make amendments to your contract within the app

Book Lex-approved garages

Schedule essential vehicle maintenance through Caura’s network of Lex approved garages:

• Servicing: Maintain your lease vehicle to stay compliant with your lease agreement, avoid end-of-contract charges, and keep your vehicle running safely and efficiently
• Repairs: Access approved repair networks for lease-compliant fixes. If you need repairs which are outside of your maintenance plan you can book these in-app.
• MOT Testing: When your vehicle is 3 years old, you can book your MOT at certified garages.

Comprehensive Vehicle Administration

Caura centralises all vehicle-related tasks in one convenient platform:

• Toll Payments: Automatic payment for Dartford Crossing and other toll roads
• City Charges: Seamless two-tap payment for London ULEZ and other environmental zones
• Fully comprehensive car insurance: Your Rivervale lease requires that you buy fully-comprehensive car insurance. Compare quotes and manage your policy, as well as benefit from £500 free excess protection insurance
• Smart Reminders: Automated alerts for MOT, service, and lease milestone dates

Exclusive Lease Renewal Offers

When your current lease approaches expiration, Caura provides exclusive in-app offers on replacement vehicles. This early access often includes preferential pricing and priority allocation for popular models.

For Non-Lex Customers

If your Rivervale lease is financed by another provider, you’ll need to manage your lease directly with the funder. You can still use Caura for MOT bookings, toll payments, insurance, and reminders — just not lease-specific features.

Lease Renewals

Caura supports lease renewals only for Lex Autolease customers. If your agreement is funded by Lex, you’ll get in-app reminders and access to exclusive renewal offers.

If your lease is not with Lex Autolease, you’ll need to manage renewals through your original finance provider.
