Overview

Hunter Lease is a licensed California auto broker (license #21138) operating a transparent car lease and finance marketplace. The platform is designed for immigrants, expats, and international students, aiming to make vehicle leasing and buying accessible to people with thin or new US credit histories. Hunter Lease handles dealer negotiations on behalf of the customer, presenting final terms—monthly payment, discounts, rebates, taxes, and required fees—before the customer visits a dealership. The company charges one flat service fee per deal, disclosed as a separate line item and not tied to the interest rate or vehicle price. Hunter Lease is not a dealership or a lender; customers sign directly with the authorized dealer and the lender, and the manufacturer provides the warranty. The service operates across California and requires an SSN for leasing, as lenders check credit in the customer's name. A co-signer can help those with thin credit. The platform lists ready deals with locked terms, such as a 2026 Subaru Ascent Limited lease at $480 per month with $3,000 due at signing, a 2026 Hyundai Elantra Gas SE IVT at $223 per month, a 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Premium AWD at $269 per month, and a 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid SE FWD at $341 per month. Hunter Lease is operated by Cargwin LLC and was founded by Azat Cutliahmetov, a licensed California auto broker.

History

Hunter Lease was founded by Azat Cutliahmetov, a licensed California auto broker (#21138), and operates under Cargwin LLC. The company was established to address the challenges faced by immigrants, expats, and international students in the US car leasing and buying process, particularly those with thin or new US credit histories. Traditional car buying involves multiple steps—finding a car, checking prices, contacting dealers, comparing offers, visiting dealerships, negotiating, and only then learning the real payment—which can be stressful and opaque, especially for newcomers facing language barriers. Hunter Lease introduced a transparent marketplace model where all terms, including price, rate, and fees, are agreed in advance and locked before the customer visits a dealership. The platform handles dealer negotiations on behalf of the customer and charges a flat service fee per deal, disclosed separately and not tied to the interest rate or vehicle price.
