Business Contract Hire
Contract Hire may be suitable should you prefer the option of hiring your car rather than owning it. It allows you to drive the car of your choice without any depreciation concerns and, provided you have kept to the agreed mileage and subject to fair wear and tear, you hand the car back at the end of the agreement with nothing further to pay. You can also include a maintenance package at extra cost for additional peace of mind.
Business users can also benefit from the ability to reclaim up to 50% of the VAT on rentals and 100% of the VAT on the maintenance rental, although this will depend on the individual business' VAT status. We recommend that you should take advice from your accountant or tax adviser on this matter.
How it works
- Decide on the car you wish to hire.
- Decide on the hire period that's right for you.
- Agree your maximum annual mileage.
- Decide on a deposit and monthly payment that's right for you.
- At the end of the agreement, simply return the car. Excess mileage charges and excess wear and tear may be payable to the finance company if applicable.
Benefits
- Payments are fixed at the start of the agreement, enabling easy budgeting
- No concerns over depreciation or selling the car at the end of the agreement
- Optional maintenance package can be included
- Business users can usually reclaim up to 50% of the VAT on their monthly rentals and 100% of the VAT on the maintenance rental
Suitable for…
Businesses that do not want to have depreciation concerns and want to fix costs over a defined period without owning the vehicle.
Important Points
The finance company will remain the owner of the car during the agreement and they may be entitled to repossess the car should you not keep up the agreed payments. Additional charges will apply should you have exceeded your agreed contract mileage or if the car has suffered damage or excess wear and tear. No other charges should be payable assuming you have paid all agreed payments on time.
