Minibus purchase options
Contract Hire
Contract Hire sees a user hire a minibus for a set period of time and pre-determined maximum mileage at fixed monthly rentals.
There is no option for the hirer to purchase the vehicle and at the end of the contract it is returned to the leasing company.
The monthly rental rate takes into account the cost of the minibus, including vehicle registration fees, road fund licence, its period of use and agreed mileage, funding costs, and forecast residual value (the car’s estimated value at the end of the contract, taking into account depreciation, mileage and condition).
Vehicle mileage will have a big impact on the rental rate because the number of miles a car does has major implications for both its service requirements and resale value. Underestimating mileage can reduce the monthly rental rate for the user, but it can result in them incurring excess charges at the end of the contract if they have exceeded their agreed total mileage limit.
The monthly rate for contract hire agreements may include a ‘service’ element or rental, which can cover a range of additional services.
Examples of such services include maintenance, replacement vehicles, roadside assistance, motor insurance, accident management and fuel cards.
Users are able to choose from a menu of options to meet their individual needs.
Outright Purchase
We will create a bespoke quotation for you to purchase the minibus you require.
If the vehicle is made to order for your specific needs we will ask for a deposit of £5,000 to secure the order.
If the vehicle is in our stock then we will ask for payment to be made around 48 hours before delivery.
Delivery to your organisation id free of charge in the UK.
Finance Lease
As with contract hire, a finance lease allows the lessee to hire a vehicle for a fixed monthly fee, with the vehicle remaining the property of the leasing company.
However, using a finance lease means that the vehicle will appear on the lessee’s balance sheet, with outstanding rentals represented as a liability because the risks and rewards of ownership rest with the lessee.
A finance lease generally conforms to one of two standard formats: a lease with a final balloon payment (smaller monthly payments with a final big payment at the end), or the fully amortised lease, in which the finance is spread over a fixed period with the same amount being paid on a regular basis, usually monthly.
In a lease with a final balloon payment, the overall depreciation of the vehicle is reflected in the monthly rental, with the final payment covering the original estimated residual value at the end of the contract.
If the vehicle is subsequently sold at a price above that of the predetermined balloon payment, the leasing company will refund a percentage of the proceeds to the lessee. If the price is below the balloon payment, the lessee will be liable to pay the shortfall to the leasing company.
A fully amortised lease finances the full value of the vehicle over the primary lease period from the monthly payments. Under these circumstances the lessee can be offered a lease on the vehicle for a secondary period at a nominal ‘peppercorn’ rental and possibly a share in the sales proceeds when the vehicle is disposed of by the leasing company.
