Contract Hire is a simple leasing agreement which enables you to drive a new vehicle without the need to own it.

How does Contract Hire work?

Once you have chosen your vehicle you need to decide on your initial rental, how many miles you drive each year, and how long you want to lease the vehicle for. These will be used to calculate your monthly payments.

You can also choose to include a level of servicing and maintenance into your monthly payments, keeping your vehicle in good condition. 

Once you have paid all outstanding rentals, you simply hand your vehicle back, subject to fair wear and tear and excess mileage charges.
