Contract Hire

Advantages

  • With a fixed monthly cost, contract hire makes budgeting easy. 
  • Flexible initial payments mean small initial outlay.
  • Low risk as it removes the uncertainty surrounding the future value.
  • If you’re VAT registered you can claim back 50% of the finance element and 100% on the service element.
  • Ability to run brand new vehicles, reducing potential issues and downtime.
  • Reduced fleet administration.

Disadvantages

  • The contract is for a fixed period; it can be expensive to terminate (usually 50% of the remaining rentals).
  • There is no option for the company to own the vehicle.
  • Based on a pre-determined annual mileage, going over mileage will mean you are charged an excess mileage charge. You are however able to change your contract should your circumstances change.
  • You must look after the vehicle and return it in a well maintained condition otherwise you will be charged for any damage over and above that stated in the ‘Fair Wear and Tear Guide’

Contract Hire is a simple and effective way to fund any number of vans. Contracts range from 24 to 60 months and are tailored to your requirements with bespoke initial payments and contracted mileages available.

With small initial rentals and fixed monthly costs, Contract Hire makes budgeting simple.

You have no risk on the residual value at the end of the contract, simply hand the van back and start again. Maintenance and recovery can also be included within the agreement.

Contract Hire is a simple and cost-effective way to fund any number of vehicles, not suitable for businesses that want to own the vehicle or use them in a manner that will cause large amounts of damage.

"Very happy with our Vanaways transaction! We needed three new vans quickly for our company and Vanaways didn't disappoint. Hannah and Abbie were on hand every step of the way and provided extremely good prices which suited our business. Customer service is a priority for them and it shows with every phone call and email! When I need a few more, they will be my first port of call. Thankyou guys!"

"Great service right from the first contact with Reece, who then passed me onto Ash once initial sale was completed. From making payment delivery was approximately 3 days. Received text from Nathan this morning (16th June) and he was on time with delivery. Really pleased with the service I've received. Many thanks!"
