Contract Hire

• Better cash flow. By saving money on the initial outlay, you can protect your working capital and invest in other parts of your business, allowing you to grow.
• Low initial cost. Compared to the up-front cost of buying a vehicle, the initial cost is small. Contract hire enables you to get up and running with a new vehicle quickly and at minimal cost.
• Fixed costs. Knowing how much your vehicle is going to cost each month is crucial for business planning. Contract hire provides certainty about your vehicle costs and what they cover.
• Flexibility. The ability to flex is key to running a modern fleet. Contract hire future-proofs your fleet and provides the option to change its make-up as your operation develops.
• Guaranteed profitability. Your contract hire costs are calculated to ensure that the vehicles we supply make a profit from day one.

• No ownership issues. No need to worry about depreciation or the hassle of selling the vehicle after your contract has ended.
• Safety and compliance. All covered and managed - PMI sheets, MOT certificates, roller brake tests, plating certificates, and tachograph documentation.
• VAT. If you lease a vehicle solely for business use, you can claim back 100% of the VAT.
• A complete package. Contract hire includes the leasing service, maintenance, MOT, servicing, road fund licence and a replacement vehicle.
• Administration. All taken care of, saving you time and money and allowing you to get on with running your business.

• Consultative approach.
• Industry-experienced contract hire manager.
• Bespoke build and supplier management.
• Paperless account application.

• In-house 24/7/365 maintenance and breakdown support.

Contracts are based on a fixed monthly cost over an agreed number of months and include the contract hire service, repair and maintenance, road fund licence, MOT, 24-hour roadside recovery and assistance, an annual mileage limit, and a replacement vehicle.

With an extensive range of vehicles and a fleet of around 12,000 trucks and trailers, we can cater for all your requirements and we can supply either new or pre-used vehicles.

Our fleet has an average age profile of two-and-a-half years for trucks and four for trailers, and all our vehicles are supplied to the highest standards. They can also be fitted with a wide range of options such as DVS packages, tracker systems, etc.

Our contracts are backed by our strong national coverage through our 24 strategically-located branches and they are supported by over 800 approved third-party repair agents with more than 1,100 facilities nationwide. In addition, we have a dedicated Tyre Programme Manager and a team of Fleet Engineers who check and verify new builds to ensure that they meet all our quality checks and build specifications.

At the end of your agreement, you can either hand the vehicle back or take on another contract for a vehicle of your choice, thereby allowing you to keep pace with vehicle technology and the changing demands of both your fleet and business.
