Car Leasing is a convenient, cost-effective and hassle-free way of financing a new vehicle, and there are many benefits of leasing a car whether you choose Business Contract Hire or Personal Car Leasing.


Benefits of Car Leasing

  • You choose a new car every 2, 3 or 4 years (according to your lease term)
  • Fixed monthly payments to suit your budget
  • Servicing and maintenance costs can be included
  • Road Tax usually included for the duration of your lease
  • Low initial outlay compared to purchasing (usually only 3 monthly payments in advance)
  • Breakdown Recovery, Fleet Management and Accident Assistance services are usually included
  • You can often afford to drive a better car than if you were buying a vehicle
  • Newer cars are usually more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly saving you money
  • You usually get to choose a dealership/garage convenient to you to have your car serviced
  • No need to worry about depreciation in value or having to trade in or sell for a decent price
  • Flexibility to extend lease or purchase the vehicle at the end of the term


Additional Benefits for Businesses

  • Up to 100% tax relief available on the lease rental payments
  • VAT registered businesses can claim 50% of the vat back on cars and 100% on commercial vehicles
  • 100% VAT may be reclaimed on any maintenance charges
  • Contract hire vehicles will not appear on your balance sheet, improving your accounts
  • Improves cashflow due to low initial outlay
  • Less administration for your business as your leasing company will normally monitor and schedule servicing
  • Greater flexibility, choice and negotiating power, e.g. you are not stuck with a limited choice of vehicles from one particular manufacturer or showroom
  • You can easily add new vehicles to your fleet with very little hassle or upfront expenditure, e.g. if you take on a new employee

Things to Consider Before You Sign Up

  • Leasing isn’t necessarily suitable for every individual or business customer but, as long as you look after the vehicle and do not greatly exceed the estimated mileage for the duration of your contract, it can be a cost effective way of securing the vehicle you want
  • Make sure that you choose a reputable (preferably locally based) leasing company or broker
  • Check your agreement and be sure that you understand and are happy with the terms – pay particular attention to any penalty clauses such as excess mileage charges or damage (other than wear and tear).
