Hunter Lease is a licensed California auto broker (#21138) running a transparent lease and finance marketplace built for immigrants, expats, and international students.
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.
Every fee is itemized and locked before you sign. The price you see is the price you pay.
Special programs for expats, international students, and immigrants with a thin US credit history.
Pre-negotiated lease deals across California.
Hunter Lease charges one flat service fee per deal. It is a separate, disclosed line, never buried in your monthly payment, and it does not grow with your rate or the car price, so there is no incentive to inflate anything.
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.
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.
