Benefits of Vehicle Contract Hire

2. Lower Maintenance Costs: We are responsible for the maintenance and servicing of vehicles on contract hire, proactive maintenance scheduling ensures your vehicle uptime is increased, you can access all the maintenance and service histories online 24/7.
3.Access to the Latest Technology: We continuously invest in upgrading our fleet, replacing older trucks with new, meaning that you can always access the latest technology and equipment. At the end of your contract term, you can upgrade to the latest vehicle(s) with ease.
4.Fixed Monthly Payments: We offer fixed monthly payments, making it easier for you to budget and manage finances. The fixed monthly payments cover the cost of the lease, maintenance, and road fund license, meaning you can budget accordingly.
5. Flexible Contract Terms: We can offer flexible contract terms on contract hire; you simply choose the length of the agreement and adjust the terms as required. You can also add or remove vehicles, as your needs change.
6. Tax Benefits: Contract hire can offer tax benefits for businesses. The lease payments for the vehicles are considered a tax-deductible expense, which can help to reduce a business’s tax bill. Additionally, businesses can claim back the VAT on the lease payments, which can be a significant saving.
