Car Contract Hire

Car contract hire is a very simple and affordable way to drive the car of your choice. Car contract hire will provide you with the car of your choice at a monthly rental payment which you can afford, making your budgeting costs for your car contract hire easily predictable month-on-month, with only the variables such as fuel, insurance and maintenance as a flexible car contract hire cost.

Car contract hire can be used by the business or corporate user – often known as business contract hire – and also by the private individual when it is often referred to as personal contract hire. Within the corporate sector there are those private individuals who are in receipt of a car allowance from their employer where car contract hire allows them to use their car allowance to provide them with the car contract hire of their choice, using all or part of their car allowance or topping it up from their own resources if required.

Car contract hire agreements are written to suit your own individual requirements and can be for any period between 24 and 60 months, although occasionally car contract hire for 18 month contracts are available. The monthly rentals on a car contract hire are calculated by taking the purchase price of the vehicle, the expected car contract hire period and the projected annual mileage during the car contract hire. These figures are then factored together to produce the monthly car contract hire rental figure. The option to include add-ons into the car contract hire monthly rental, such as service, maintenance, repairs and tyres, additional breakdown cover, roadside assistance and a relief vehicle can be cost-calculated and then included in the car contract hire’s monthly payment.

Car contract hire provides a vehicle with only a small initial outlay – usually a sum equivalent to three monthly rental payments. The initial payment is made before delivery takes place, directly to Car Hire UK, with the methods of payment for the initial car contract hire payment being fully explained when the car contract hire documentation is sent to the client. Occasionally a client may wish to make a higher initial rental car contract hire payment than the car hire industry’s standard three payments in advance and in this case the monthly payments on the car contract hire would be reduced accordingly.

In the case of every vehicle supplied by Contract Hire UK on car contract hire the vehicle will be sourced from and supplied by our national franchised main dealer network of suppliers. Using our long established business relationship with these dealers enables us to purchase the vehicles supplied on car contract hire to our clients at an advantageous discount not available to the general public. Additionally, we have access to all the major main funders for car contract hire which, coupled with the discounted prices secured from our dealers, enables us to offer highly competitive car contract hire rates.

By using Contract Hire UK and our car contract hire agreements to fund their motoring requirements our clients have found an easy method of having their car of their choice at an affordable price. There are no depreciation issues with car contract hire, a very small initial outlay and no collection issues at the end of the car contract hire period – we arrange the collection for the client. Collection can be made from any convenient location and can be timed to co-incide with the delivery of the next car contract hire vehicle, if appropriate. Every vehicle supplied by car contract hire will be delivered directly to the end user by the manufacturer franchised UK main dealer supplier, or if required we can arrange a showroom collection for you. Delivery of your new car contract hire vehicle is made to your home, place of work or other convenient location.

At Contract Hire UK we have a team of advisors who are all expert in arranging car contract hire agreements, with a sound knowledge of the motor industry and the car contract hire marketplace. Once the car contract hire enquiry has been made to Contract Hire UK, whether by email or telephone, the car contract hire enquiry is given to a team member, who then becomes the dedicated account manager for the client’s car contract hire requirements and will help him or her throughout the car contract hire process. The information that the account manager will need is as follows:

Type of vehicle or vehicles required – if known
Length of contract required
Annual projected mileage
Budget
Any ‘add-ons’ required

All of the above questions will be asked and full explanations given during the car contract hire consultation profess; this information will then be used to provide car contract hire quotations for the client. Once the type of car contract hire vehicle is established the account manager can often suggest other vehicles which may be more suitable for the car contract hire agreement and also more affordable. With our strong car contract hire dealer and car contract hire funder relationships we have “special deals” available to us for our car contract hire customers which are not available to the public at large. Our team of advisers and account managers here at Contract Hire UK have an extensive knowledge of the car contract hire market and the products available, and it is often the case that by using one of our various car contract hire agreements the client is able to drive a higher specification car than the one on which the original car contract hire enquiry was made.

Throughout the whole negotiation period the client has the benefit of dealing with their dedicated and named account manager; and once the client has proceeded to order their new car contract hire vehicle their account manager has a Car Hire UK back office administration team who look after the client during the car contract hire documentation process. Once delivery of the new car contract hire vehicle has been completed the client has the benefit of the services of Car Hire UK’s Customer Care team, who will be on hand to answer any questions and queries that the client has throughout the life of the car contract hire period.
