Contract Hire is the way to operate a vehicle
fleet. It removes much of the financial uncertainty and the
administrative burden, leaving you free to concentrate on running your
business.
How it works
- You make an initial payment, followed by a fixed number of rental payments over the remaining period of the agreement.
- At the end of the agreement you hand back the vehicle and there is nothing more to pay (subject to mileage and condition).
Benefits include:
- Fixed monthly rentals for ease of budgeting
- Reduced motoring costs - our purchasing power means volume savings are passed on to our customers
- Comprehensive servicing and maintenance package (optional)
- Accelerated taxation relief and VAT benefits
- Low initial payment, releasing cash that could be invested in other parts of your business
- No depreciation risk
- Hassle-free disposal of the vehicle
