look for a car leasing company rather than car hire you may get better prices

As I might be in a similar situation about a year from now: Rob, do you know if you can lease a car right away, i.e. before you have all the paperwork regarding e-card etc. in order? I'm asking because I was planning to rent a car for the first month or so, too (despite all the rental companies' rip-off scheme with pre-paid fuel), as I will most likely stay in a temporary apartment before finding a place to stay, work, etc. I guess that's also the reason why the question was originally posted?

No my situation is different, not looking for work and already have a place signed up for the next 12 months.

Sorry Rob, I was referring to whether the requirements for leasing a car are the same as for registering a car - I wasn't referring to your situation. I edited my question before posting it and now realise it turned out a bit confusing. Probably time to go to bed after all...
So to clarify, my question should read: do you know if you can lease a car right away, or do similar requirements apply for registering a car of your own and for leasing a car? (In my home country, the latter would be the case.)

ah ic ...

After looking at leasing a bit more I was thinking the same thing as you..

I don't know in all honesty you would need ton talk to the car lease company but they advertise to tourists etc so one would assume you can do it straight away
