Abstract

A method of leasing an automobile from a lessor to a lessee, includes the steps of equipping an automobile with a remotely controlled device that can be used to control the automobile, and agreeing to lease the automobile to a lessee without regard to the creditworthiness of the lessee. The equipping step includes a remotely controlled device that can be used to control the automobile, and the agreeing step involves allowing the lessee to lease the automobile if the lessee performs certain preselected, required tasks. The equipping step may also include a communicator that allows the lessor and lessee to communicate with each other after the lessee has leased the automobile. One of the preselected, required tasks of the agreeing step is to make a periodic payment, and wherein the equipping step includes a communicator that allows the lessee to make a payment that is accepted by the lessor.
