The offers on this site are predominately Contract Hire Offers (for business) or Personal Contract Hire offers (for individuals). Should the finance type be different this will be highlighted. Should you want an alternative finance type, please contact us on 01513 56 56 29
Our offers are subject to finance acceptance. Our offers can change at any time. Our offers are conditional on us being able to source the car after acceptance. Some offers are on stock vehicles and whilst we endeavour to obtain stock numbers, this can change quickly. We order through franchised dealerships and our delivery updates come directly from them, we are not responsible for any costs or inconvenience caused by manufacturer/ dealer delays.
Not keeping up repayments could result in your agreement being terminated and the vehicle returned to the funder used. Your credit rating could be adversely affected which will make it more difficult to obtain credit in the future.
Our pricing team aim to ensure are prices are correct but from time to time we may not be informed a third-party offer has been withdrawn so the offer may no longer be available. If this is the case, you will be advised the offer has ended or if there are alternatives available.

You must have a driving licence
You may be asked to provide proofs of identity as part of the credit check process and may be asked to provide copy of insurance before delivery of your vehicle
The prices on our consumer (personal leasing) section include VAT at current rates
Personal contract hire is regulated by the consumer credit act 1974, even though the agreement is for hire and does not offer the option to purchase.
The Consumer Credit Act 1974 defines a consumer hire agreement as an agreement made by a person with an individual (the ‘hirer’) for the contract hiring of vehicles, subject to the following:
The agreement is not a hire purchase agreement
The agreement must last for more than three months
Distance Marketing Regulations 2004
Cancellation Distance Marketing
You will have the right to cancel or withdraw from the personal contract agreement for a period of 14 days, relating to Distance Marketing Regulations 2004. This act regulates distance selling that is not face to face and not conducted on trade premises.
The 14-day cooling off period begins the day after the agreement is made (signed), being determined by the date on which the contract hire company sign it, not the date you sign.
Exercising your cancellation can be actioned by writing to the contract hire company within the 14-day cooling off period, stating that you wish to cancel the agreement.
If you exercise your right to cancel, you will be entitled to be returned any money paid to it by you (or by any person on your behalf) less a charge for any service provided to you under this agreement as to your instructions or request, prior to the expiry of the cancellation period.
If you do not exercise your right to cancel during the cancellation period, this agreement will remain in full force and effect and its terms and conditions will bind you.
Cancellation rights do not apply if this agreement was completed face to face with the contract hire employee or representative, upon trade premises.
Cancellation by handing vehicle back early: Early settlement terms and conditions are detailed on the finance agreement. The norm is that no rebates are due if you wish to hand the vehicle back under 12 months into the agreement. After 12 months, settlement rebates may be available. Please refer to your agreement prior to signing, as early termination can prove costly.
