What information does Best Auto Leasing collect?
As part of the vehicle research and purchase process, information such as your e-mail address, name, and contact telephone numbers will be requested.

The system will automatically record the information and send it to an associate so that your inquiry may be answered promptly by a qualified representative.
Best Auto Leasing USA LLC provides for limited employee access to our lead management system. Our system is a secured program that can only be accessed by entering a valid user name and password. Once you have expressed interest in being contacted, the associate will respond through a personalized email or phone call. After the initial contact, there may be several points of communication between you and the associate by either telephone or email. At any point in the relationship you have the option of indicating by either telephone or email that you no longer wish to be contacted by the associate. In this event, the associate will access the lead management system and mark your customer record as ''closed'', at which time, you are removed from ''active'' status.
