In general contract hire is appropriate for ltd companies, partnerships or sole traders. For those who want to lease a car but do not fall into this category, there are many alternative forms of funding a new vehicle.

A car leasing agreement can be for a term of between one and four years; most usually over either a two or three year term, with three payments payable in advance. The most common being 3 + 35, this means that the equivalent of three monthly payments are made at outset followed by a further thirty five monthly payments. An industry standard is to quote 10,000 miles per annum; however a quote for a different mileage can be requested.

The main advantage of contract hire is that the monthly premiums are initially set and remain unchanged throughout the term of the contract, regardless of any changes in used car values. The risk of a drop in residual values is not borne by the hirer. Contract hire allows companies to have fully budgeted motoring costs. The very time consuming aspect of car ownership; disposing of the vehicles when they are due to be replaced, is also avoided.

How safe is your car?	British Vehicle Rental & Leasing Association

When you lease a car, maintenance can be added to a contract, which can include tyres. We offer a maintenance package with a no quibble tyre option; damaged tyres can be replaced at the roadside, the replacement will always be a premium tyre. Car leasing which is a very simple process can be made even simpler by adding maintenance.

There are however occasions when the cost that maintenance adds to a car leasing agreement is not justified. We are happy to advise clients as to the viability of including maintenance; much will depend on the annual mileage the client has chosen and the service intervals of the vehicle concerned.
