Hunter Lease is a licensed California auto broker (license #21138) running an automated, transparent lease marketplace. We are online and statewide, so a driver in San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, or Fremont sees the same locked all-in prices and the same open money factor as anyone else in California. You compare deals from home, run a free soft credit pull that does not touch your score, and lock the exact car online.

Everything up to the keys is online: comparing deals, the soft pull, locking the price, the paperwork. Where the pickup happens depends on which dealer won your deal, and we show that dealer's location up front, before any commitment. Today the strongest Hyundai programs we track are concentrated with Southern California dealers, so for many Bay Area drivers the winning deal means a pickup trip south, or a one-way flight and a first road trip home along I-5.
That trade is worth stating plainly instead of hiding: when the locked price beats a local quote by four figures, a day of driving usually pays for itself several times over, and when it does not, you will see that on the screen and walk away having spent nothing. The math is on the page either way, which is the whole point of doing this transparently.
Bay Area commutes are real mileage: a South Bay tech run up the 101, an East Bay bridge crossing, a Peninsula school loop. Every deal prices 7,500 to 15,000-mile allowances live, so you can pick the honest tier for your actual driving instead of gambling on overage fees.
The order is fixed and fair: a free soft credit pull first, which does not affect your score; then one locked all-in price with the money factor, residual, and every fee broken out; the $95 service fee only at the end, after your real rate is on the screen. One hard pull happens at approval. An SSN is required, thin or new US credit is workable, and a co-signer helps a first lease.
California charges lease sales tax on each monthly payment rather than on the full price up front, and your city's district rate in the Bay Area applies on top of the 7.25% state base, so due-at-signing is usually lower than first-time lessees expect. Standard California DMV registration is handled inside the paperwork wherever in the state you live.
No. Hunter Lease is fully online and statewide, with no showroom anywhere. You compare deals, run the soft pull, and lock the price from home; the pickup happens at the winning dealer, whose location you see before you commit.
At the dealer that won your deal. Today the strongest Hyundai programs we track are mostly with Southern California dealers, so a Bay Area pickup often means a trip south. We show the dealer's location and the full locked price before any commitment, so you can weigh the trip against the savings with real numbers.
The car's locked price is the same for anyone in California. What changes locally is the sales tax, which California charges on each monthly payment at your city's combined rate, and that is shown inside the deal math before you sign anything.
Yes, an SSN is required to run the application. Thin or brand-new US credit is fine, and a co-signer can help if this is your first lease. There is no no-SSN or ITIN path, and we will not pretend there is.
