    Can I leas a car when I'm on a student visa?
    Hello!
    I live in California on a student visa but I need a car to be able to go to school.
    I can't afford buying a car. I wonder if there is any chance that I can lease a car?
    I do have a social security number but not a steady income. Is it enough with a student loan as a income?

    Thanks a lot!

    Car leases are stretched over 36 or so months and you must have an income to pay for one.

    But I'm staying for more than another 18 months. And I do have a student loan as an income, so that is not enough then?

    Typically a student loan is not considered the kind of income that car dealerships look for. They want steady income, you know weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly checks as one would get with a steady job.
