About Us

Hunter Lease is a licensed California auto broker (#21138) running a transparent lease and finance marketplace built for immigrants, expats, and international students.

Our Mission

We believe that having a thin credit history should not be a barrier to mobility in the US. Our mission is to make the car leasing and buying process transparent, fair, and accessible for every newcomer.

We handle the dealer negotiations for you, saving you from hidden markups, language barriers, and stress. With Hunter Lease you get fleet wholesale pricing with the dealer markup taken out, even if you just moved here.

Zero Hidden Markups

Every fee is itemized and locked before you sign. The price you see is the price you pay.

Newcomer Friendly

Special programs for expats, international students, and immigrants with a thin US credit history.

Pre-negotiated deals

Pre-negotiated lease deals across Los Angeles and Southern California.

Common questions

How does Hunter Lease make money?

Hunter Lease earns a fixed referral commission from the dealer fleet department. It is a separate, disclosed amount and is never buried in your monthly payment, so there is no incentive to inflate your rate.

Is Hunter Lease a dealership or a lender?

Neither. Hunter Lease is a licensed California auto broker (license #21138, Cargwin LLC). You sign directly with the authorized dealer and the lender, and the manufacturer provides the warranty. We run the transparent marketplace and handle the negotiation.

Do I need an SSN to lease through Hunter Lease?

Yes. An SSN is required to lease, because the lender checks credit in your name. Thin or new US credit is fine, and a co-signer can help. There is no no-SSN or ITIN lease path.
