My company leased when I was in Kuwait. I wanted to buy but they said no. After 6 years of leasing we had nothing to show for it. At least with buying you have a saleable asset after your term here.

Buy A Car - it is always cheaper- you can also get the car you want. What I have seen from the Rental Companies is not interesting.

The best option in this case is to rent a car on lease basis wherein you can enjoy low rates and free from the hassels of service and insurance or registration renewals. BTW i work for rent a car company. If interested just send me a PM and i shall revert with good option with regards to cars available and rates for monthly hire.

but what if i decided to leave sudenly, then i will have to find a buyer who will take over my instalments ans etc...which a headache as well....

good thing about leasing is that full maintenance and insurance are for free...

If you are not sure how long you will be here than I will prefer for you to buy a car. If you leave it will ok also but buying I believe will be a better option.
