• Personal Contract Hire

  What are the benefits of personal contract hire? Why would I want to rent a car when I could own one? If the latter is bothering you, have a think about why so many people have already made the switch from keeping cars for a long period of time – often on finance for a fair proportion of the term of ownership.
  
  PCH offers individuals the chance to acquire a new car for the duration of the contract term, put down a low initial payment, benefit from the latest vehicle fuel economy, specification and safety technologies and spend less* maintaining their vehicle than on an older car where more substantial repairs may often be required, often without notice.

  There are clear guidelines on what is considered to be fair wear and tear and what is treated as damage in accordance with industry standard guidelines, although these may vary from lender to lender. AVC’s Vehicle fair wear and tear guide gives you a good insight into what to expect and also how to avoid unnecessary bills when vehicles are returned.
