What is contract hire?
Your monthly rentals are based on the difference between the initial value of the vehicle and its projected residual value at the end of your agreement. Therefore, only a proportion of the vehicle’s value is repaid, which avoids a large initial outlay and keeps monthly payments lower.
What happens at the end of your agreement?
Simply return your vehicle with nothing more to pay, subject to it being in line with the BVRLA Vehicle Return Standards, vehicle condition and excess mileage (other charges may be payable).
