Contract Hire

Contract Hire is one of the most common methods of company vehicle financing. We take the responsibility for vehicle acquisition, disposal, depreciation, funding, servicing, maintenance, repair and administration, leaving you more time to focus on your core business activity.

Contract Hire is an ideal product for companies who don’t want the operational risk of running their own vehicle fleets, and who are looking to reduce the administrative burden of buying, servicing and disposing of their vehicles.

With Contract Hire you simply hire the vehicle from us for a pre-determined period at a fixed monthly rate. We retain ownership of the vehicle and the associated risks and at the end of the contract the vehicle is returned to us.

We find that customers normally choose to include the fixed price, risk-free, maintenance option within the monthly rate.

Contract Hire can be combined with a number of other optional services provided by Leasedrive, such as:

Car policy management
Driver outsourcing
Short and mid-term hire
Accident management
Fuel card management
