If you are currently purchasing your vehicles through your own funding, you are inadvertently tying up a valuable proportion of your company’s financial resources. Contract Hire releases these funds for more profitable use.

With Contract Hire, all costs are calculated by experts and built into a fixed monthly payment. Vehicle costs can be forecast accurately for up to five years. Paperwork is almost eliminated and budgets tightly controlled.

Owing to our buying power, we can purchase vehicles at cheaper rates. Efficient vehicle disposal always enables THL to accurately assess resale values. Only the minimum depreciation is passed on to our customers, resulting in realistic rentals.

Contract Hire will improve your company's cash flow through low initial outlay.

We can supply all makes of cars and vans at competitive Contract Hire rates. You choose the model, colour, specification and extras to suit you. We offer expert and unbiased advice on all makes and models that might meet your needs and budget.

Contract Hire is classed as an operating lease, which means that the vehicles do not show as depreciating items on your balance sheet. Rentals are classed as a revenue expense and are shown in the profit and loss account.

Are your management and staff currently weighed down with time-consuming vehicle administration? Contract Hire releases them from this burden, so they can achieve more profitable objectives. Contract Hire significantly reduces paperwork. The Road fund licence is supplied and renewed automatically.

With Contract Hire you will always have modern and presentable vehicles. Contract Hire will also give you a disciplined replacement program. Remember, your competitors may already be enjoying these benefits!

Contract Hire has many VAT benefits. THL can reclaim the VAT on the purchase price of the vehicle and pass on this benefit to our customers. Also, once the vehicle is on the road, you can claim back 50% of the VAT on the finance element (if the vehicle is available for personal use or 100% if only available for business use) and 100% of the VAT on the maintenance element of the rental payments.

THL can provide annual mileage reviews as part of our service to you. This enables us to identify if any of your vehicles are over or under contract mileage. We can then advise you whether it is possible to re-contract mileages prior to the end of the contract. This minimises any excess mileage charges.

For customers that have more than 10 vehicles or more we are able set up a Pooled Mileage Agreement. This means Contract Hire terminations that are over contract mileage can be offset against contracts terminating under contract mileage.

With monthly payments fixed over the entire contract period and a range of optional extras, Contract Hire takes away the worry and trouble of managing your company’s cars and vans.
