When would it be more economical to lease a car instead of owning one?

You will need to speak to your accountant regarding leasing vs owning as they are best suited to answer this question. However there are not many private individuals who will lease a vehicle.

There are benefits in both cases. A fully maintained lease will make it easy for a company to budget and not have to worry about depreciation and maintenance costs whereas if the company where to own the vehicle there is possible tax write offs, etc but also unforeseen maintenance costs to consider.
