• 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.
