Contract Hire is the most popular type of leasing, and is the ideal product if you want fixed cost motoring, and are confident about the mileage and condition your vehicle will be in over a set period of time. It is an easy and cost effective way of funding vehicles, enabling you to control one of your biggest business expenses. The vehicle is hired for a set period of time with a pre-determined mileage for a fixed monthly cost. At the end of the contract the finance company will collect and dispose of the vehicle. Maintenance can be included in your monthly rentals, usually at an additional cost. Monthly rentals will depend on the value of the vehicle, length of the contract, and the agreed mileage.
Business Contract Hire would suit customers who know exactly how long they will need the vehicle for and the mileage they will be doing, and who want to avoid the risk of depreciation with a fixed monthly cost.

Finance Lease gives you the benefits of ownership as you can take advantage of any equity build up in the vehicle through a leasing product which can have a low initial rental. VAT is only charged on the initial rental and following monthly rentals, not the cost of the vehicle.
The vehicle is hired at a fixed monthly rental with a balloon payment covering the estimated residual value of the vehicle at the end of the contract. You are responsible for disposing of the vehicle, and if the sale price is above the predetermined balloon payment then you will retain the equity (minus a small charge from the leasing company). If the sale price is less than the balloon payment, then you will be responsible to cover the shortfall. The final payment is calculated using the mileage which is expected to be done in the vehicle over the contract.
Finance Lease would suit customers who want multiple options at the end of the contract, who want to build up equity without taking ownership, and who do not want to be tied to a contract which penalises them for vehicle damage or excess mileage.

Disadvantages:
Contract Purchase is an agreement to purchase a vehicle through a series of monthly instalments, and ownership will pass to you at the end of the contract following a final payment.
Thanks to a guaranteed residual value set by the finance company at the start of the contract, you have three options at the end:
Similar to Contract Hire, Contract Purchase enables you to make fixed monthly rentals, but with the option to retain the vehicle at the end of the contract. It is ideal for customers who want ownership without a large financial outlay and who want multiple options at the end of the contract.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
With a Lease Purchase agreement, the vehicle is leased for a fixed monthly rental, with the option to purchase at the end of the agreement. The agreement requires an initial rental and a final payment - typically equivalent to the residual value of the vehicle at the end of the contract.
This would suit customers who want ownership of the vehicle without a large initial outlay and who are non-VAT registered.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Personal Contract Hire is perfect for a private individual who wants fixed costs and is confident about the mileage and condition of the vehicle over a set period of time. It enables you to control one of your biggest expenses. It is similar to Business Contract Hire, however you will not be able to recover any VAT or take advantage of any tax allowances.
It is ideal for customers who want a more expensive vehicle than their budget would normally allow, and want to avoid the risk of depreciation and maintenance costs (with optional maintenance extra).
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
With Personal Contract Purchase you can choose the car, the initial deposit, how long you want the contract to run for, and the mileage you think you'll do. At the end of the contract you have the choice to either buy the car outright for an agreed lump sum, part exchange the car and use any equity built up as the initial rental on another new car, or give the vehicle back and walk away without owing anybody anything (subject to mileage and vehicle condition).
This is ideal for customers who want a more expensive vehicle than their budget would normally allow or who want multiple options available at the end of the contract.
