Contract Hire Is Really Lease

Ironically we tend to use terminology like car lease, but for most contract hire (contracthirebam) should be the term we use. In most cases it is no different, except we understand the word lease more. This becomes challenging when trying to get your message out to the world, so you call your service contract hire or leave it as car lease.

It is likely that those who rent cars for their business will probably use the term contract hire, with other terms being used by the general public. However PCP, or personal contract purchase is becomming more popular than ever and some of the more expemsove German makes, state more cars are bought this way than by any other means, because residual values are so good.

So we find ourselves with websites all over the net, some selling car lease, some contract hire and otheres PCP, when in reality most can sell oall these services. It is for this reason many employ a motoring seo company, someone who specialises in understanding visitor and search trends.

Election Hung How Will It Affect the Lease Market

It is astonishing that when the electorate cannot make their minds up decisively how business just slows down. As potential consumers and car lease buyers hug their radios and digital TV, their first concerns are more likely to be about whether they still have a job, or how will thier business survive without direct leadership, what will happen to their mortgages, before they reconsider any dream car lease deal.

It is likely the colour brochure of their next intend car is hidden under paperwork, as the update on the hung Parliament dominates the day. Certainly within car lease comparison websites,such as Leasebam hits and requests are well down, even though Friday is one of the quietest days anyway. But as history is made or repeated depending on who you watch or listen too, it does bring into perspective how fragile businesses can be when the political landscape is uncertain, and that applies to the UK car lease market as much as any other.

Volvo C30 Eco Mad

The higher road tax, BIK and fuel prices have sent car manufacturers into a race of who can make the most fuel efficient car with the lowest CO2 figures. A worthy contender for the race is the Volvo C30, that has some fantastic specifications when it comes to saving the world, making this likely to be firm favourite when it comes to business leasing.
So lets look at the figures of the Volvo c30, first it can do up to 85.6 mpg on a single gallon of diesel and its CO2 emissions are as low as 99g/km (visit the volvo spec sheet) this is from the 1.6D DRIVe with Start/Stop (109 PS) model which is clearly designed for those wanting to save money.

These figures are lily to keep used values of the Volvo C30 high, which is good news for those intending to lease a Volvo C30 either for private or business use. The downside is that is lacks a bit of power and the physical size does not match the tradition square shaped design, but you can see elements of the Volvo P1800 there (the car the Saint drove).

Browsing through the other Volvo models and it is clear, for now it is this baby they are relying on to win the low Eco challenge from the Germans, lets see if sales match Volvo's commitment to make a an Eco car suitable for the private and lease market.

Answers Regarding That Contract Hire

We previously mentioned that the resale value of your chosen car will affect your monthly premiums. Well there are other considerations with Uk car lease or contract hire. The ability to cancel you car lease contract can also be important considering most of us do not really know what the state of our finances of business faniaces will be after 3 years. With car lease you can wihout anything being written on your credit report, cancel your car lease contract, providing you have paid more than 50% of your payments.

You can't do that with certain contract hire agreements more here at Leasebam, even though the payments may be slightly cheaper. So it is important to only speak to suppliers who have your requirements in mind or do lots of research on the internet.

make sure you also know what service requirements are part of the contract, going well past a service date of getting your mate at a non vat garage doing the work, may invalidate your final agreed value of the car.

Car Lease Deals

It can be hard to fully understand what exactly you are paying for car lease when you take out a contract. OK, you know how much you are paying each month (which seems much cheaper than borrowing the money and buying), but at the end of the term are you better off or worse?

In the States this is not always and issue as many Americans tend to manage their finances month by month and nothing else matters. Here in the UK we are a little bit more cautious and feel the need to investigate all options. So when you are searching for car lease deals, it is best to get many quotes from different companies, so as to fully understand all the options.

For example certain car lease deals at Leasebam, you can return the car after you have paid for half of the payments without any credit rating issues. but with some contract hire deals, you must pay the full amount, even if you want to leave the contract early. These are all factors that are within the monthly calculation.

A lot has to do with the initial deposit you pay, which is 3 months up front. This is normally the car lease companies (or finance house) security to cover the depreciation of the vehicle should thecar be returned early, or forfeits on payments.

In most cases though, unless you get some sort of tax incentive, it will be just a bit more expensive to lease than to buy, as any saving you can get on the car lease interest rates are also likely to be attained when buying.
