In Review; Hyundai Tucson 1.7 CRDi Blue Drive Go SE DCT [Auto]

23 August 2018 by phil

Thank you to our business leasing customer, from Wigan (Greater Manchester), for sending through pictures of their latest fleet addition – the Hyundai Tucson SUV.

As a large plumbing and electrical contractor, our busy customer needs quick and efficient solutions to ensure their vehicles (cars and vans) are managed professionally and flexibly. In particular, one of the big changes for our customer, has been their approach to:

1. Contract term; and
2. Initial Rental.

With contract hire, many of the leading finance companies will offer a contract term of between 24 and 60 months. Generally (although not always), the longer the term, the cheaper the monthly rental will be.

Much of this is because the car/van will depreciate quickest in the first year (or two) and so this has to be reflected in the monthly rental being paid.

There are exceptions to this where a vehicle has a strong residual value coupled with high levels of discount; in which case, the finance company will support the 2 year contract.

Our customer previously operated 36 month agreements, which is common with most personal and business customers as this falls in line with the manufacturer warranty and is generally the time period most people keep their “new” vehicles.

What is the best contract length with a lease? The answer is that it very much depends on the needs/requirements of the customer. In this example, the customer experiences higher labour turnover and is vulnerable to a more volatile market. This means that if the car is no longer required, they must “early terminate” the vehicle – a process where a customer pays around half the remaining rental to return the car. So, while a four year contract will produce a cheaper rental for the customer, it is far more of a commitment.

This is where you have to weigh-up cost vs flexibility; for some customers with a high degree of certainty a longer term and cheaper rental may be considered better.

Also, with some manufacturers offering 4/5/7 year warranties, the longer term is more acceptable.

Another element to the transaction is “initial rental”, which we have seen change for the customer. Many brokers and/or finance companies advertise their headline prices and deals using an initial rental – this is the sum payable in month 1 of the contract and is NOT a refundable deposit. If you see a rental at £300 and this is based on a 6 spread initial rental, then you must pay £1800 in month 1; if this was based on 9 spread initial rental you would pay £2700. You therefore need to consider the total cost payable across the term before you make a firm decision.

For the customer here, they had traditionally used a 3 or 6 spread initial rental to achieve a specific monthly rental. However, upon further analysis, this was not benefiting the company cash-flow position and a decision was reached to go to a no initial rental/no deposit situation to enhance funding.
