Why Choose Contract Hire?

Contract Hire can offer businesses a convenient and cost-effective way to access the vehicles they need.

Rather than purchasing your vehicles outright, you pay an agreed monthly rental for the duration of your contract. This can make budgeting easier, while allowing you to choose vehicles that suit your business and its requirements.

With EVC, we can help you understand your options and arrange a Contract Hire provision around your individual circumstances.

How Does Contract Hire Work?

Choose any make or model of car or commercial vehicle, then select your preferred contract term and annual mileage. We will then calculate a fixed monthly rental based on your requirements.

Choose our full maintenance option and your rental can include servicing, maintenance, mechanical repairs and replacement tyres, helping to simplify day-to-day vehicle running.

Vehicle Hire provides the flexibility to acquire exactly the vehicles your business needs, whether that is for a short-term requirement or a longer planned period.

VAT

Contract Hire can also offer VAT advantages for businesses. Depending on the type of vehicle, its use and your VAT status, a proportion of the VAT may be reclaimable.

VAT is charged on the monthly rental. As VAT rules can vary, we always recommend confirming the current position with your accountant.
