Contract Hire

  • An operating lease in which the loss of value of the vehicle is guaranteed over a fixed term
  • Can either include or exclude a maintenance package.

Benefits Things you need to know
  • Large VAT savings as the leasing company claims back the VAT when buying the vehicle.
  • One payment covers most costs thereby providing better cash flow forecasting.
  • Enjoy manufacturer bonuses and fleet purchase discounts where available.
  • Freedom from disposal worries and risk as this is the job of the leasing company.
  • Off balance sheet financing which is useful when your company has high borrowings elsewhere.
  • No more administration and risk as maintenance, mechanical repair, replacement car, breakdown recovery, RFL renewal, tyres, batteries and exhausts can be part of the package.
  • It is a fixed contract to term and mileage but this can be changed by amending the rental.
  • There will be a charge if you return the vehicle early.
  • If you damage the vehicle, it needs repairing and it is your fault then this is not covered under the maintenance contract.
  • Glass and windscreen replacement is not covered under the maintenance contract.
  • Not all the rentals you pay can be offset against your company profits, as there is a sliding scale restriction on the allowances for more costly cars.
  • 50% VAT recovery on the finance rentals you pay.
  • If you return the vehicle in a damaged condition and it affects the resale value then you may be liable for the bill.
