Older drivers are prepared to ditch their cars as part of a major UK road overhaul next year, according to new data.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Analysis from GRIDSERVE shows that motorists aged 55 to 64 were among the most likely to want to give car leasing a go to save money.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The analysis reveals that 48 percent of respondents were intrigued by the minimal maintenance costs compared to owning a petrol or diesel vehicle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Road users aged 55 and older were also the most likely of any generation to want to lease their car to avoid it depreciating in value.<\/p>\n

Those above the age of 65 were the most clued-up generation on car leasing, with 93 percent aware of the scheme.\u00a0<\/p>\n
