There are two requirements that a manufacturer's lease has to satisfy in order to receive the IntelliChoice GoldStar rating. Its net interest rate has to be in the lowest 25% of all evaluated leases, and at least two percentage points lower than the available average bank loan rate. Monthly IntelliChoice GoldStar Lease evaluations are based on information supplied directly by manufacturers and published in major daily newspapers and on manufacturer Web sites.

Founded in 1986, IntelliChoice is the only company that develops and distributes consumer automobile ownership and leasing cost data.
