Business finance

A Business Contract Hire agreement enables you to drive a new SEAT without needing to own it.

How does Business Contract Hire work?

Follow these simple 4 steps below to create your Business Contract Hire agreement:

Contract term

Choose any term between 12 and 48 months.

Mileage

Let us know how many miles you expect to drive each year. This must be between 5,000 - 60,000 - excess charges apply for exceeding mileage allowance.

Servicing

Decide whether you'd like servicing, maintenance and tyre protection included as part of your agreement.

When the agreement ends

It's a simple choice. Hand the car back, subject to being within BVRLA wear and tear guidelines and if there is any excess mileage, then charges will apply. And decide if you'd like to start another agreement.
