Missouri’s Largest Lease-to-Own Auto Dealer Since 2003
Auto By Rent has been helping Missouri drivers get behind the wheel since 2003 — without the stress of traditional financing. As the largest lease-to-own auto dealer in Missouri, we offer a smarter alternative to “buy here, pay here” dealerships in Springfield and beyond.
A Better Alternative to “Buy Here, Pay Here”
Most “buy here, pay here” dealers in Springfield, MO, put you in a tough spot: high upfront costs, sales tax due at signing, and property taxes on your plate every year. Auto By Rent works differently — and the advantages are easy to see.
When you lease through us, we handle the vehicle registration and tag it for you. That means no upfront sales tax when you drive off the lot, and no annual property tax payments on the vehicle while you’re making payments — we cover that for you. What you get is a 2.5 to 4.5-year auto lease with a clear path to ownership: complete your agreement, and the vehicle is yours.
We Look at Stability, Not Your Credit Score
Bad credit? No credit? At Auto By Rent, that doesn’t disqualify you. Our approval process focuses on your stability — your income, your situation — rather than your credit history. We believe everyone deserves reliable transportation, and we’ve built our entire program around that idea.
Getting started is simple. Choose from our selection of quality cars, trucks, and SUVs, make a down payment based on the vehicle you select, and drive away. Special promotions are available on many vehicles, subject to your qualifications.
Quality Vehicles, Backed by a Warranty
Every vehicle in our inventory is serviced and inspected to a higher standard than most dealers in the area. We stand behind what we sell — each vehicle comes with a warranty for your peace of mind. And because we operate our own service facility, we can help keep your car running throughout the entire length of your lease, with financing available on select repair needs.
Why Springfield, MO Drivers Choose Auto By Rent
We’ve grown across Missouri because our program genuinely works for real people in real situations. Here’s what sets us apart from traditional “buy here, pay here” dealers:
