The benefits of short-term contract hire
A conventional lease assumes you know exactly what you need for three or four years. Short-term contract hire exists for everyone who doesn't.
In short
Short-term contract hire lets you have a car or van for as little as one month up to two years, with servicing, road tax, warranty and breakdown assistance included, and no residual value risk at the end. It suits anyone whose need for a vehicle has a natural end date — a contract, a relocation, a gap before a factory order — without the multi-year commitment a conventional lease requires.
Why it works
The core benefits
No long-term commitment
Terms from 1 to 24 months mean you're never tied to a car for longer than you actually need it.
No residual value risk
You hand the vehicle back at the end. Depreciation and resale are never your problem.
Fast delivery
In-stock vehicles can be delivered in as little as 3–5 working days — far quicker than a factory order.
Try before you commit
A subscription or short lease is a low-risk way to test an EV or a new model before a longer commitment.
Flexible for business
Cover a contract, a new starter, or a gap in the fleet without inflating the balance sheet.
