Licensed California auto broker #21138

A licensed California car lease broker that works like software

A lease broker's job is to get you a better deal than you would pull off alone at a dealership. Hunter Lease is a licensed California broker (license #21138) that does this as an automated marketplace: live deals with one locked all-in price and the money factor in plain sight, instead of one person's phone calls.

  • Licensed California auto broker, license #21138, verifiable with the California DMV.
  • Every deal shows one locked all-in price with the money factor and drive-off broken out, so you can check the math yourself.
  • A free soft credit pull comes first and does not touch your score; the $95 service fee comes only at the end, after your real rate is on the screen.
  • An SSN is required to apply; thin or new US credit is fine, and a co-signer helps.

What a car lease broker actually does

A traditional broker shops your deal to dealerships, negotiates the discount and the rate, and takes a fee for the legwork. The good ones save you real money because dealers quote a professional differently than a walk-in customer. The catch is that the process is a black box: you rarely see the money factor, the spread the broker kept, or what the dealer would have taken.

We hold the same California broker license and do the same legwork, but as software with the box turned inside out. Deals from dealers who need to hit monthly targets surface in the catalog automatically, each with the full price stack visible: MSRP, discount, money factor, residual, fees, drive-off. You compare them by Hunter Score, a 0-100 deal-quality rating, and lock the one you want online.

What it costs, in the open

The service fee is $95 and it is charged at the end of the process, after the soft credit pull has shown you your real rate and you have decided to lock the car. There is no subscription, no percentage of the deal, and no markup on the bank's rate: the money factor you see is the money factor the bank set for your tier.

We do not claim a broker fee always pays for itself. On a heavily subvented special that a dealer advertises at their own buy rate, a sharp negotiator might land within reach of our number. What you are buying here is the certainty: the whole market at once, the math on the table, and a price that cannot drift between the screen and the signature.

What we honestly do not do

We broker new Hyundai leases and financing in California today; we do not cover other brands yet, we do not do short-term rentals, and there is no no-SSN or ITIN path. Approval and your exact terms are always the bank's decision, never guaranteed. If a deal has no real bank program behind it for a given term, it simply does not appear, because we would rather show fewer cars than invent a number.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a car lease broker charge?

Traditional California brokers typically charge a few hundred dollars per deal, sometimes built into the payment where you cannot see it. Our service fee is $95, charged only at the end after a free soft pull has shown you your real rate, and it sits on its own line.

Is a lease broker worth it?

Usually the fee is small against the spread between a walk-in price and a quota-driven discount, but not always, and we will not pretend otherwise. Because our deals show the full math up front, you can compare any dealer quote against our number line by line and decide with the facts.

Are you actually licensed?

Yes. Hunter Lease operates under California auto broker license #21138, and brokering in California legally requires a license you can verify with the DMV. The license number is in the footer of every page.

Which cities do you cover?

The whole process is online and statewide for California. You pick the car and lock the price from anywhere; we tell you exactly which dealer won your deal and where, before you commit, so you can weigh the pickup trip against the savings.

Do I need an SSN?

Yes, an SSN is required to run the application. Thin or brand-new US credit is fine, and a co-signer with established credit helps. There is no no-SSN or ITIN path, and we will not pretend there is.
