Understand car leasing, exactly how it works and why leasing might be the best option for you.
What Is Vehicle Leasing?
Vehicle leasing, also known as contract hire, is essentially a long-term rental which allows an individual to drive a new car, usually covered by a manufacturer's warranty, for an agreed period of time for a fixed monthly fee.
Vehicle leasing is becoming increasingly more popular as it gives drivers peace-of-mind by allowing them to pay a fixed monthly fee without having to worry about the depreciation value of the vehicle.

Contract Hire
There are 4 main parts which make up a contract hire agreement:
Initial Rental
The initial rental is an up-front payment made on your lease vehicle. Typically, the more you pay upfront, the less the monthly rental will be.
Contract Term
The contract term refers to how long you would like the leasing agreement to last (24 months, 36 months, 48 months...). Generally, the longer you lease a vehicle, the less the monthly rental will be.
Annual Mileage
It is important to select the correct annual mileage to fit your requirements. Excess mileage charges may apply.
Maintenance
It is your responsibility to ensure your lease vehicle is correctly maintained in-line with the manufacturer advised service schedule. For complete peace-of-mind a maintenance package can be included in your lease agreement for a fixed monthly fee.

Types of Leasing
An initial rental followed by a monthly rental over a chosen term. At the end of the term, the car is handed back to the leasing finance company. You are then able to choose a new car. Annual mileage is selected at the beginning of the lease to your requirements.
Business Contract hire follows the same terms as personal contract hire. The main differences are that contract hire is suitable for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies. Limited companies are able to claim back 50% of the VAT on monthly rentals and 100% of VAT on maintenance costs.
A popular form of funding where rentals are chosen over a term followed by a residual value rental. The risk and rewards of ownership are held with the customer.
