FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What types of vehicle can you arrange funding for?
We can arrange finance for any make and any model of vehicle, from Smart Cars to Bentley Turbos. If you don't see the car you're looking for on our website, simply complete our quote request form for a free, no obligation competitive quote.
Where do your vehicles come from?
All of our vehicles are supplied to you direct from the relevant UK main dealer network.
Do I need a maintenance contract and if so, what is included?
We tend to recommend that maintenance is only considered when your annual mileage exceeds 20,000 miles per annum. The maintenance option covers all routine servicing and maintenance costs as well as replacement of fair wear and tear items. Essentially, any item that isn't covered under the manufacturers warranty should be covered by the maintenance agreement (with the exception of damaged/missing items or punctures). You can take your car to any franchised dealer of your choice.
What happens about insuring the vehicle?
You or your company must comprehensively insure the vehicle for the duration of the contract. Most insurance companies are familiar with leasing and therefore should not be a problem obtaining.
Is roadside assistance included in the contact?
Yes it is, our vehicles include between 12 Months to 3 Years depending on the relevant manufacturer
Will I be required to MOT the car if I have it for 3 years or more?
In most circumstances, yes you will be required to MOT the car just prior to the end of a 3 year contract depending on the relevant funder. Some funders will reimburse you for this but in most cases the cost will need to be beared by you. As most manufacturers warrantys are 3 years it is important to get any faults discovered on the MOT rectified within the warranty timescale.
What if I want to hand the vehicle back early?
All contracts state that an 'early termination fee' is payable if the vehicle is handed back early. This is based on the market value of the vehicle when you want to end the contract, the mileage covered and the number of months left for the contract to run. Unfortunately the parameters are different for each funder and far too complicated to list. An early termination figure can be obtained at any stage during the contract & will be valid for 28 days.
Do you deliver to Northern Ireland?
We do, although there is an additional charge depending on the distance our dealer is from the ferry port. We do however deliver free of charge to Stranraer if you can arrange to meet the car there. This way you don't have to pay for the delivery drivers time on the ferry & cost of his ticket for the return journey.
Will I be able to purchase the car at the end of the contract?
Most of our funders offer the option to purchase at the end of the contract. The figure is based upon the mileage covered & market value of the vehicle at that time. You will have to wait until 2-3 Months prior to the contract termination to obtain an exact figure. More often than not the costs for collection, valeting, remarketing & resale are taken into consideration, thus presenting you with a fairly attractive proposition, considerably less than the guideline prices for used cars.
What condition does the vehicle have to be returned in?
All of the leasing companies/funders that we use abide to the BVRLA guidelines, visit www.bvrla.co.uk for a detailed overview of the industry standard Terms and conditions. We can send you a copy of the wear and tear guidelines prior to making any decisions or returning contracts which can also be viewed here.
Will you come to collect my car at the end of contract or do I have to return it?
Your vehicle will be collected at the end of contract, we will be in touch to make all of the arrangements for you. It can be arranged for collection from any UK address in most instances
Are there any additional costs or fees other than those advertised on your website?
ABSOLUTELY NOT! We're obviously aware that some of our competitors charge anything up to an additional £350 which you're sometimes not informed of until you're well under way with the process (& sometimes even after you've signed an order & awaiting delivery). Out of the 15 or so funders that we deal with, there are only 2 that levy an "acceptance fee" which will be displayed prominently where applicable within the vehicle advertisement. Delivery is included, as is collection at the end of contract.
Can I put my cherished number plate onto a lease car?
Yes indeed you can, in almost all cases the cherished plate will need to be on a retention certificate and we would require prior notice in order to facilitate this. Please note that some funders will charge a small administration fee for this procedure.
I'd like to get the ball rolling on one of your deals, what do I need to do?
Simple, all that we require to get the ball rolling is a straightforward no obligation application form to be completed & returned to us. You can print it or download it from our "apply now" page or even complete an "online" form. Please note that by completing an application form you are in no way bound to any contract or commitment whatsoever, simply establishing a credit line. By the way, we don't ask for up-front deposits either, no monies will be requested until much further down the line and in most cases not until after delivery.
What are the stages of the process?
Choose your car, complete a credit application form, sign an order form, sign direct debit & finance paperwork, take delivery, simple.
