Contract Hire
Contract hire is the most popular method of funding a company vehicle in the UK .
Contract hire is an efficient way of paying for the use of a vehicle without absorbing the costs or ownership. Forward planning is made easier through fixed costs – you can avoid the trouble of taking into account lifetime depreciation, ongoing maintenance and disposal.
What contract hire means to you:
- A fixed monthly rental – total budgetary control
- Vehicles off balance sheet – the removal of assets from the balance sheet can enhance a company's gearing ratio.
- An all inclusive package – maintenance, servicing and Vehicle Excise Duty
- Recoverable VAT if you are a VAT registered business user (restricted to 50% if the vehicle is made available for private use. 100% VAT is recoverable on maintenance charges).
At the end of your contract your vehicle is simply returned - peace of mind, simplicity and no hidden costs.
Contract Purchase
Contract Purchase has all of the operational benefits of contract hire and can be a cost effective solution.
What contract purchase means to you:
- ideal if you are unable to take advantage of the VAT benefits of contract hire
- enables you to sell the vehicle via us at the end of the agreement
- if you prefer you can outsource the maintenance and disposal risk
- ideal if you want to take control of your cash flow with low initial outlay, followed by fixed monthly payments and a final balloon payment
At the end of your contract you have the option to hand back or pay the agreed residual value and the vehicle will be yours.
Optional Maintenance Plan
The optional Maintenance Plan* is available in conjunction with contract hire and contract purchase and includes.
- Vehicle servicing - Maintenance and repair of wear & tear
