Bicycle Leasing & Social Leasing Models

Unlocking access. Driving modal shift. Building scalable cycling systems.

Social leasing and long-term bicycle rental models are rapidly emerging as one of the most effective ways to expand access to cycling, support transport decarbonisation and create sustainable commercial models.


From national programmes such as Véligo in France to local authority and corporate-led schemes across the UK and Europe, bicycle leasing is becoming a core pillar of modern cycling policy.


haveconsult supports public authorities, operators financial institutions and industry partners to design, implement and scale these models.

Types of Leasing & Subscription Models

Social leasing and long-term rental models can take a number of forms depending on policy objectives and commercial structure:


  • Publicly Funded Social Leasing - Subsidised schemes targeting specific user groups or geographies.
  • Employer-Supported Schemes - Salary sacrifice and workplace-based programmes driving uptake at scale.
  • Subscription-Based Rental Models -  Flexible monthly access models for consumers.
  • Operator-Led Long-Term Hire - Leasing integrated into bike share or fleet operations.


Social leasing often complements wider bike share systems and micromobility strategies
