What is business contract hire?
Business contract hire is a service that enables your company to hire vehicles that are then used for business purposes for a fixed price.
Your company chooses which cars or vans it wants to lease, how long to lease the vehicle (typically up to four years) then pays a monthly fixed price over the course of the contract. During this time, vehicle tax is included and there is an optional Maintenance Plan that covers all of your servicing, maintenance, repairs and breakdown cover for the duration of the lease, at a fixed price.
At the end of the contract, the vehicle is returned, and your company can choose to lease another vehicle or not, depending on your needs. During the lease period you can add more vehicles or, if you wish to, change the mileage or term.
Business Contract Hire can be used by partnerships, limited companies, limited liability partnerships (LLPs), PLCs, local authorities, charities, embassies, or the self-employed, then driven by the business owner or their staff.
Business Contract Hire vehicles are used by many different organisations. In July 2022, BVRLA (British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association) Leasing Outlook statistics showed the business contract hire fleet numbered over 763,000 – well over double the consumer car lease fleet.
What's included?
For a single monthly price with no hidden charges and a clear upfront payment, you get a brand-new leased vehicle with these benefits.
Business Contract Hire FAQs
What to consider when leasing a business car?
Selecting the right business lease requires a strategic approach that aligns with your company's operational needs and financial goals.
Start by establishing a clear budget with your financial team. Evaluate the lease as a comprehensive business expense, carefully analyzing potential tax advantages and the long-term value of maintenance-inclusive contracts. This financial groundwork is essential for making a smart procurement decision.
Your vehicle selection should precisely reflect your business requirements. Consider the vehicle's primary purpose – whether it's for client visits, equipment transportation, or as a multi-use company asset. Critical factors like fuel type, battery range, and transmission will directly impact your operational efficiency and running costs.
Mileage planning is crucial. Select a contract that accurately matches your expected usage to avoid unexpected penalties. An ill-fitted mileage agreement can result in significant additional charges at the end of your lease term, undermining your initial cost-saving strategy.
Who insures the vehicle?
The business leasing a car will need to arrange their own insurance for it, starting on the day the vehicle is delivered. We can provide the vehicle’s registration number to speed up and simplify this process for you.
Can all businesses get a Business Contract Hire vehicle?
A wide range of businesses can get a company vehicle lease, although very new companies may find it more difficult to get a quote. To learn more, please get in touch.
