Van Contract Hire

Van Contract Hire (or van leasing as it is sometimes called) is simply a method of long term rental, linked to a mileage allowance, which can provide you a fixed monthly payment for the vehicle you want.

You can choose how long you want to keep the commercial van for, and simply send it back at the end of the contract and order a new vehicle. It is a really simple way to budget and fix your motoring costs, as all you do is insure and put fuel in your vehicle. Why buy a van when they will lose value over time? Van Contract Hire "Operational Leasing" protects you from the depreciation risk of owning a vehicle and can include maintenance cover/breakdown cover (optional), vehicle excise duty and much more. This method of vehicle funding is ideal for companies who do not want to tie up cash buying vehicles outright or have the financial risk of running their own car or van fleets.

Reduce the administration of buying, servicing (if part of the contract) and disposing of vehicles by contract hiring. Just hand the vehicle back at the end of the contract and order a brand new vehicle - it's as easy as that! Below are a list of the advantages and benefits of contract hire leasing and the things you need to know about this method of vehicle finance.
