Personal Contract Hire

Personal Contract Car Hire (PCH) is a flexible leasing option that allows you to drive a new vehicle with fixed monthly payments and no ownership responsibilities. At the end of the lease term, simply return the car without worrying about depreciation or resale. It's an ideal solution for those who want a hassle-free, cost-effective way to drive the latest models.

Personal Contract Hire Explained

It benefits customers wishing to eliminate the financial risk associated with disposing of a vehicle. Contracts are usually taken over two, three or four years, providing a high level of flexibility. Some contracts can be formally extended beyond the end of contract date if required. Just ask and we can answer any of your questions regarding extending your contract.

Personal Contract Hire is very similar to Business Contract Hire; both are based on a fixed annual mileage agreed on inception of a contract. You would need to make a decision on how many miles you drive each year before quotations can be obtained. Once you have stated how many miles you drive in a year and considered which vehicle you would like to lease a quote can be created for you by one of our sales team.

Regulations with regard to making mileage amendments after contracts are live vary from funder to funder, so it is always better to be as accurate as you can be. If you do exceed the agreed allowance at the end of your contract you will pay an excess mileage charge, which will have been agreed upon prior to signing the finance agreement.

Please remember this when deciding upon you annual mileage. If you are looking to have predictable motoring costs adding maintenance to your monthly payment is easy. Maintenance is there to put your mind at rest should any challenges arise with your vehicle and generally covers servicing, routine maintenance, tyres, exhausts and batteries.

Please note that it is responsibility of the person named on the finance agreement to arrange and pay for fully comprehensive insurance for the vehicle. It is important that the vehicle is returned in accordance with the guidelines set out in the BVRLA ‘Fair Wear and Tear Guide’, a copy of which is made available to customers when they are near the end of their PCH agreement.
