Is leasing better than buying?

My 25 year old daughter needs a small car to get to and from work as a teacher. She lives in Kings Lynn - would leasing be a good idea and would it cover insurance and would they help her if the car went wrong?

Insurance and maintenance would normally be extra, but there are packages availalable from people like Young Marmalade. www.wearemarmalade.co.uk/ On a new leased car problems would anyway be covered by the new car warranty.
