Don’t just take our word for it, check out just some of the messages on our Trustpilot –
Dealing with a customer face to face allows us to thoroughly explain the process that they will undertake in the contract hire process.
Some of the big questions we have to answer are;
· How long does the process take? This depends on the car you want. If a car is in stock, you can expect the process to take between 14 and 21 days from start to finish (remember cooling-off periods under distance selling rules). For allocation and factory orders, the process can be up to 6 months, depending on factory lead times;
· Can I buy a lease car? Contract hire is not a purchase style agreement. The emphasis of this product is its usership/hire nature. You use the vehicle of 2/3/4 years and then return it. If you want to purchase, consider a personal contract purchase agreement.
· Do I need good credit to lease a vehicle? The short answer is yes. As contract hire is a credit based product, you do need to have a credit check before you can proceed. If you have issues pertaining to your credit, this may prevent you from being able to proceed with us. Think about getting a credit report online before speaking with us.
· Can I swap the car? Contract hire is a fixed term agreement and it is not possible to swap/amend/upgrade/downgrade your vehicle during the contract. This is very much a fixed term agreement and in order to return the car you will have to enter into a process known as “early termination”.
