How to get a social leasing car
How to take up social leasing 2026: the reservation route the ministry page announces, how eligibility can be checked, the proof it names for the distance condition and the charges the lessor may not impose. The page names no full document list.
Where to reserve
The ministry page, updated on 16 July 2026, announces that from 16 July a car can be reserved directly with a dealer or an approved lessor (loueur conventionné). The models offered by the lessors are subject to vehicle availability. The offer is a rental: the household pays monthly rents and does not buy the car.
Check eligibility first
According to the ministry page, eligibility can be assessed with the simulator of the ASP (Agence de service et de paiement) or with the sales contact at the approved lessor. The conditions are set out on the eligibility page.
The proof the page names
For the condition of more than 10 kilometres between home and work, an employee's employer must provide a certificate of the distance. A person who is not an employee must provide a sworn statement together with proof of affiliation to a social-security scheme for the current year. The ministry page names no other document, and this page lists none.
What the lessor cannot ask
The lessor may not charge file fees for the advance of the scheme's aid and may not ask for a deposit. No option can be imposed, and extra start-up costs must be presented as options.
What this page does not settle
This page gives no full list of documents and no closing date, and it does not say whether cars can still be reserved.
