Business car hire isn't just for large corporations — small business owners can benefit significantly too, especially with our fixed-term short-term contracts.
For many SMEs and sole traders, committing to 3 or 4 years is a risk. Our 6, 9, and 12-month contracts offer a smart, affordable alternative, allowing you to run a modern fleet with fixed monthly costs and minimal long-term risk. Our short-term personal rental offers similar freedom for individuals.
1️⃣ How Short-Term Business Hire Works
With our contract hire, your company hires a vehicle for a fixed short period (6-12 months). You pay an initial rental followed by fixed monthly instalments. At the end of the contract, you simply return the vehicle. Ready to begin? Start your application.
Budgeting Made Easy
Fixed monthly payments = predictable business costs.
2️⃣ Tax Advantages
Contract hire is extremely tax-efficient. If you are VAT registered, you can reclaim 50% of the VAT on the finance portion of the rental (assuming some private use) and 100% of the VAT if the vehicle is used solely for business.
3️⃣ Fleet Scalability
Whether you need one car or twenty vans, short-term hire allows you to scale without massive upfront investment. You can ensure your team is always driving modern, safe, and reliable vehicles that represent your company well. Explore our commercial vehicle range for van options.
4️⃣ Maintenance Responsibility
Please note that maintenance is not included in our hire agreements. Clients are responsible for ensuring the vehicle is serviced and maintained in accordance with manufacturer guidelines. This gives you the freedom to choose your own service providers.
Your Control
You manage the upkeep of your fleet vehicles.
Summary: Smart & Simple
Short-term contract hire allows small businesses to punch above their weight. You get access to a modern, reliable fleet without the heavy financial burden of ownership or long commitments. Learn more about how the leasing process works.
