Can you lease a car in your name and have 18 year old son drive it?

It is unlikely that a car leasing company would lease a car to an individual who is not of legal age to enter into a contract, which is typically considered to be 18 years old in the United States. Even if the lease is in your name, the burden and responsibility of meeting the contractual obligations (including monthly payments, insurance, and maintenance) fall upon the primary leaseholder.

Therefore, it is generally not feasible to lease a car in your name and have your 18-year-old son drive it unless he qualifies as a co-signer or guarantor on the lease agreement. Alternatively, you could consider purchasing a car and adding your son as an authorized driver on your insurance policy. This would allow him to drive the car legally, but you would retain ownership and responsibility for the vehicle.
