Frequently Asked Questions

What type of agreement is best for me?

The type of agreement that is best for you or your company depends on a number of factors. We can always guide you and give you the advantages and disadvantages of each scheme. We offer a range of agreements:

  1. Personal Contract Hire
  2. Personal Contract Purchase
  3. Finance Lease
  4. Business Contract Hire
  5. Business Contract Purchase
What is the difference between personal and business leasing?

If you are a limited company, sole trader, partnership, or LLP then you may be able to have a business lease contract.
Sometimes finance schemes for businesses have special rates, complimentary extras, and offer advantageous tax implications depending on the type of agreement you choose. With over 20 years’ experience in the business leasing industry we feel we can offer guidance and assistance in helping you and your business choose the best and most appropriate scheme available.

What do I do about servicing and maintenance of the vehicle?

You can either choose to maintain your vehicle yourself in accordance with the manufacturers recommended servicing schedule, or alternatively we can provide fully-maintained packages with most contracts. Obviously one of the benefits of leasing a vehicle is it is new and covered by a manufacturer’s warranty there is also no need for an MOT as most leasing agreements usually only cover the first 3 years of a vehicles life.

What happens at the End of the Agreement?

This really depends on the type of agreement you have chosen. In some cases you can simply had the vehicle back, with other agreements you can have the option to purchase the vehicle outright. For a full explanation of what happens at the end of an agreement please refer to Finance and Leasing for further information.

Can I reclaim Vat?

Depending on the type of finance, if you are Vat registered you can typically reclaim 100% of the Vat for a commercial vehicle agreement, and 50% of the Vat for a car – rising to 100% of it if purely for business use.

Do you charge any admin fees?

No, we have never charged admin or ‘document’ fees for arranging your vehicle agreement, and we never will.

How do you earn your commission – do I pay you anything?

We can introduce you to a limited number of lenders who may be able to offer you finance facilities for your purchase. We will only introduce you to these lenders. We may receive a commission payment from the finance provider if you decide to enter into an agreement with them. You may be able to obtain finance for your purchase from other lenders and you are encouraged to seek alternative quotations.

In the first instance, all queries about your finance agreement or vehicle can be sent to ourselves – we will be pleased to assist with any query relating to your vehicle or contract.

My car needs a service or new tyres – what do I do?

If your vehicle is on a non-maintained agreement, the upkeep of the vehicle is down to you. If you have opted for a maintenance and servicing package, the maintenance of the vehicle is paid for by the finance company, who issue you with a driver helpline / service booking line at the start of your agreement.

When is my deposit payable?

With most agreements, the deposit (or ‘initial payment’) is taken just AFTER delivery of your new vehicle, once you have signed the vehicle acceptance note to confirm that your vehicle has arrived and it is as you ordered and is in good condition. Your first monthly payment is then taken 4 weeks after delivery.

I have bad credit, can you help?

Sometimes. It depends how bad, and how recent. We will try to structure a deal that may encourage a lender to accept your application and we will work with you to find the most appropriate solution.
