While this number is down from pre-pandemic levels, Swapalease.com believes many of its site visitors have solid credentials available to take over a person\u2019s vehicle lease. The inclination to have more flexibility through leasing amidst economic uncertainly may contribute to a rise in shoppers who are looking to lease vehicles.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">December has historically turned out a higher lease credit approval rating, likely due to end of year sales and lease deals. In December of 2019, 72% of applicants were approved to take over another person\u2019s lease, and in December of 2018, 71.4% of applicants were approved.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cThe automotive industry took a hard hit in early 2020, especially as stay-at-home mandates were implemented and businesses were temporarily shut down,\u201d said Scot Hall, Executive Vice President of Operations at Swapalease.com. \u201cWe\u2019ve continued to see slight increases month-over-month since May, and we\u2019re optimistic at the outlook for the 2021 calendar year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Swapalease.com matches a person wanting out of their existing vehicle lease contract with a car shopper looking to take over a short-term vehicle lease.
