    What is contract hire?

    Contract hire allows you to take control of a vehicle for a fixed period without taking ownership of it. During the contract agreement we can also manage the maintenance of the vehicle for you, once the contract ends you return it to us. Contracts range from 12 to 84 months and are tailored to your specific business requirements.

    What is operating lease?

    An operating lease allows you to lease a vehicle but without the maintenance included.

     

    It is a very popular way to fund your vehicle fleet with fixed monthly costs so you can budget accurately and control you own maintenance.

    What is hire plan?

    Hire plan is a leasing product that allows you to take control of a vehicle without owning it or committing to a fixed hire period.

    When using hire plan, you will be provided with a charge matrix, which sets out costs for 12, 24 and 36 month periods, and given the freedom to return the vehicle as required.

     

    • Transparent charges, allowing you to manage your fleet and budget effectively.
    • A flexible way to run vehicles during peak periods, including month-by-month hire, at a competitive rate.

    What is sale and leaseback?

    Sale and leaseback can help you to release equity locked in your fleet and support you in the streamlining of your operational requirements.

    We value and acquire your fleet at an agreed price, hiring it back to you at an agreed fee over a specific time period. You can also include additional services from our fleet management packages.

     

    This release of equity back into your cash flow can support your commercial strategies to raise additional capital for other business requirements and growth, and can also help fund a broader fleet replacement programme.
