Bowater Price plc has been dedicated to meeting the needs of our clients in all aspects of car contract hire and car leasing for many years. We strive to be unique among car leasing companies because our philosophy is that all clients, whether purchasing just one vehicle or adding lease cars to an existing fleet of 2,000, are entitled to the same level of service and discounts.
Our consultants are all highly trained and appreciate that acquiring a new vehicle through contract hire or lease hire is a big step, particularly if you have not previously financed a vehicle in this manner. The plethora of car leasing UK deals and suppliers can appear confusing and we understand that a prospective client may have lots of questions before they are finally ready to make a decision. Our aim is to assist you as much as we can in understanding the process so you have all the information you need to determine which method of acquiring a new vehicle is right for you or your company.
We feel we have a responsibility to provide as much information as possible to a prospective client. That is why we have a link to Euro NCAP on our website, enabling clients to check the safety of the vehicle they are considering and compare it with similar vehicles. We hope that our work with Euro NCAP will make the motoring public more aware of safety, which in turn will encourage manufacturers to produce safer vehicles.
This industry is awash with different terms to describe the various ways of acquiring and financing a new vehicle– contract hire, lease hire, contract leasing. Regardless of what it is called, perhaps the simplest way to approach things is to consider any car lease arrangement as a kind of long term car hire. You agree to take a vehicle over a set term (usually 36 months) and within an agreed mileage limit (normally 10,000 miles per annum) and at the end of the term you hand the vehicle back. You know exactly what the vehicle is going to cost you over the term, regardless of its future value.
This is also an unregulated industry and there are no minimum professional requirements set down, so any individual can set themselves up as a broker. We adhere to our own strict code of conduct and minimum standards and will continue to do so until the government finally decides to regulate the car contract hire industry. Read our Customer Charter for a fuller explanation of precisely how we aim to be different from the other suppliers in the market.
So if you are considering acquiring a new vehicle by contract hire, lease hire or a car or van leasing deal, please do not hesitate to contact us. You will find our staff helpful and happy to explain any aspects of vehicle financing that you do not understand.
