Personal and Business Contract Hire
Personal Contract Hire
Personal Contract Hire (PCH) is a straightforward hire agreement for private individuals. With this finance plan the option of hiring a new vehicle rather than ultimately owning it means there is no need to worry about depreciation or selling, you just simply pay the fixed monthly rental over the term of the agreement.
At the start of an agreement you simply choose an initial rental in advance, this keeps your monthly payments lower to suit your budget, your contract term usually between 18–60 months, and an agreed predicted annual mileage.
With a Contract Hire agreement, you can even choose to include your vehicle maintenance costs and service expenditure including brakes and tyres, reducing any of those unexpected costs.
At the end of your agreement you simply return the vehicle with nothing further to pay, providing the vehicle has not exceeded the agreed annual mileage and is in good condition.
