One group. Eight brands.
Every way to get moving.
Cocoon Group is the family behind some of the UK's most trusted flexible vehicle brands — from one-month subscriptions to fixed-term leases, for businesses, individuals, start-ups and expats alike.
The brands under the Cocoon Group umbrella
Built around flexibility
Every brand in the Cocoon Group exists to remove the friction of traditional vehicle ownership — giving people and businesses the freedom to drive on their own terms, for as long or as short a time as they need.
A family of specialists, one shared purpose
Cocoon Group was born out of Cocoon Vehicles, founded in 2007 to offer a smarter alternative to traditional car finance and long-term leasing. Since then, the group has grown into a family of specialist brands, each focused on a particular customer, region or type of vehicle solution — while sharing the same commitment to flexibility, transparency and genuinely helpful service.
Whether you're a business needing a short-term fleet vehicle, an individual wanting a subscription with no long-term commitment, an expat without UK credit history, or a company in London or Leeds needing a car delivered fast, there's a Cocoon Group brand built specifically around getting you moving.
- ✓ Subscriptions available from just one month, with the best pricing unlocked from 90 days
- ✓ Fixed leases from 5 to 12 months across a wide range of manufacturers
- ✓ Specialist support for start-ups, expats and relocating customers
- ✓ Regional delivery specialists covering London, Leeds and the whole of the UK
Built from first-hand frustration with rigid car finance
Back in 2007, getting hold of a vehicle in the UK usually meant choosing between two extremes: a long, inflexible lease you were locked into for years, or a traditional finance agreement that assumed you already had a lengthy UK credit history and the certainty to commit long-term. For a lot of people and businesses, neither option fit.
We saw start-up founders unable to get a van because they had no trading history yet. We saw skilled professionals relocating to the UK being treated as a credit risk, despite years of financial history abroad. And we saw everyday drivers penalised simply for wanting flexibility instead of a three-year commitment. Cocoon Group was built to close that gap — a way to get behind the wheel that flexes around your circumstances, rather than forcing you to fit rigid rules.
That founding idea is still what connects every brand in the group today: look beyond the standard credit-score checklist, move quickly, and give people an honest, flexible route to the vehicle they actually need.
Freedom
No long-term traps. Scale your subscription up, down, or end it as your circumstances change.
Speed
From application to driving away, our brands are built to get you moving fast — often within days.
Fairness
We look beyond a UK credit score — considering overseas history, start-up circumstances and real-world context.
From enquiry to driveway, in days not weeks
Every Cocoon Group brand follows the same straightforward process — only the vehicle range and contract type change.

Quick definitions
- Car Subscription
- A flexible, rolling monthly payment for a vehicle that typically includes maintenance, servicing and road tax — you simply add insurance and fuel or charging. Usually endable with short notice after the minimum term.
- Short-Term Lease
- A fixed-term agreement, usually 5–12 months, at a set monthly cost — a shorter, more flexible alternative to a traditional 2–4 year contract hire.
- Salary Sacrifice
- An employee benefit where part of pre-tax salary is exchanged for a fully-inclusive vehicle lease, often reducing tax and National Insurance costs for both employer and employee.

A few genuine reviews left by Cocoon Vehicles customers on Trustpilot and Google.
Really professional from start to finish, good prices — turned around a vehicle from first-time order to delivery in 4 days, which is immense. Would recommend.
Rhys and Rebecca always provide a top notch service. They are responsive and had me in a new car at no time at all.
Great service helping folks who just moved to the UK be able to lease a car for the short term. THANK YOU!
Got a response first thing Monday and by Thursday my 3-month short-term lease Mercedes was sat in the drive… Amazing, personal service.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to the questions we're asked most often across the Cocoon Group brands.
What is Cocoon Group?
Cocoon Group is the family company behind eight specialist UK vehicle brands — Cocoon Vehicles, Short-Term Leasing, Flexigo, Drive Car Flex, London Short-Term Cars, Car Leases for Expats, Car-Flex and ScotCar. Founded in 2007, it offers flexible vehicle subscriptions and short-term leasing to business and personal customers across the UK.
What's the difference between a car subscription and a short-term lease?
A car subscription is a rolling monthly payment, usually including maintenance, servicing and road tax, that can be ended with short notice after a minimum term. A short-term lease is a fixed-term agreement, typically 5–12 months, at a set monthly cost — a shorter alternative to a traditional 2–4 year contract hire.
Do I need a UK credit history to get a vehicle through Cocoon Group?
Not necessarily. Our Car Leases for Expats brand specifically works with expats and returning UK residents, using overseas credit facilities and documents rather than requiring a UK credit history. That said, all applications do go through a credit check for anti-money laundering and FCA compliance purposes.
How quickly can I get a vehicle?
It varies by brand and vehicle availability, but flexibility and speed are central to how Cocoon Group operates — London Short-Term Cars delivers to the capital within 3–5 working days, and several of our customers have had a vehicle on their drive within days of their initial enquiry.
Which Cocoon Group brand is right for me?
Cocoon Vehicles is the flagship, covering most subscription and lease needs. Short-Term Leasing focuses on 6–12 month fixed deals, Flexigo on subscriptions up to 3 years old, Drive Car Flex on the Leeds area, London Short-Term Cars on fast delivery to London, Car Leases for Expats on customers without UK credit history, Car-Flex on England, Wales and Scotland, and ScotCar specifically on Scotland.
Can businesses use Cocoon Group's services?
Yes. Alongside individual subscriptions and leases, Cocoon Vehicles offers dedicated Business Services covering fleet management, pool cars, van subscriptions and salary sacrifice car schemes for employers.
Is maintenance and road tax included?
For most subscription products — such as those offered by Flexigo — maintenance, servicing, breakdown assistance, manufacturer warranty and road tax are included as standard, so you just need to insure and fuel or charge the vehicle. Inclusions can vary by brand and contract, so it's worth checking the specifics with each brand.
Can I lease a van as well as a car?
Yes. Cocoon Vehicles offers both Van Subscriptions and Short-Term Van Leases, alongside its car products, for business and trade customers who need commercial vehicles on flexible terms.
