COMMERCIAL VEHICLE CONTRACT HIRE FOR BUSINESS FLEETS.
Commercial vehicle contract hire gives businesses a way to access the vehicles they need without purchasing them outright. With servicing, maintenance and other fleet support included within the agreement, it can provide greater control over running costs while helping businesses keep vehicles on the road.
For businesses managing anything from a small fleet to a nationwide operation, contract hire can provide a flexible alternative to vehicle ownership, with terms tailored around vehicle requirements, mileage and operational needs.
WE MANAGE EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR FLEET.
FROM FINANCING TO SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE.
Commercial vehicle contract hire allows a business to use vehicles for an agreed period and mileage, usually in return for fixed monthly payments. Depending on the agreement, servicing, maintenance, tyres, and other running costs can be included, giving businesses greater visibility over their fleet expenditure.
Contract terms can be structured around the needs of the business, including the length of the agreement and expected mileage. This makes fleet contract hire suitable for businesses with different operating requirements, whether they run vehicles from a single depot or across multiple locations.
Contract hire is not simply about supplying vehicles. The maintenance and support provided throughout the agreement can also help businesses reduce downtime and keep their fleet operating efficiently.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AVAILABLE ON CONTRACT HIRE.
Seven Asset provides contract hire options across a range of commercial vehicle requirements, allowing businesses to consider vehicles suited to their operational needs.
MORE VEHICLE OPTIONS FOR YOUR FLEET.
The wider range also includes trucks and trailers for heavier transport requirements, electric vehicles for businesses introducing electric commercial vehicles into their fleets, and specialist builds configured for specific applications.
This range allows businesses to consider fleet contract hire across different vehicle types rather than being restricted to a single category.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN EVERY SEVEN ASSET CONTRACT?
Seven Asset contracts include comprehensive support to help businesses manage their vehicles throughout the agreement. This includes full servicing and maintenance, road tax and RFL credit, tyre husbandry and repairs, 24/7/365 rapid response support, and access to nationwide repair and maintenance facilities.

This approach means businesses can manage their fleet with ongoing maintenance and support built into the overall service, rather than arranging every requirement separately.
CONTRACT HIRE VS BUYING OUTRIGHT.
When comparing contract hire vs buying, businesses need to consider more than the initial purchase price of a vehicle. The right approach will depend on the business, its fleet requirements and its financial strategy.
UPFRONT CAPITAL
Buying vehicles outright requires the business to provide the capital needed for the purchase. Contract hire spreads the cost across the agreement through regular payments, which can reduce the amount of capital tied up in vehicles.
DEPRECIATION AND RESIDUAL VALUE RISK
With outright ownership, the business owns the vehicle and is responsible for its depreciation and eventual resale. Contract hire removes the need for the business to manage the vehicle’s residual value at the end of the agreement.
MAINTENANCE BUDGETING
Vehicle ownership means businesses need to budget separately for servicing, maintenance, tyres and other running costs. With Seven Asset contract hire, servicing and maintenance are included, alongside tyre support and road tax, providing greater visibility over fleet costs.
CASH FLOW PREDICTABILITY
Fixed contractual payments can make fleet expenditure easier to plan. Rather than making large vehicle purchases and managing fluctuating maintenance costs, businesses can account for regular contract hire payments as part of their ongoing operating costs.
Contract hire provides an alternative for businesses that want to access commercial vehicles while maintaining a more predictable approach to fleet expenditure.
FLEXIBLE TERMS TO SUIT YOUR BUSINESS.
Fleet requirements can vary significantly between businesses, so contract hire needs to accommodate different operating models.
Seven Asset can support both short- and long-term requirements, with solutions suitable for single-depot operators through to multi-depot and nationwide fleets. This gives businesses greater flexibility when arranging vehicles around their operational requirements.
Whether a business needs vehicles for an established fleet or is expanding its commercial vehicle operation, contract hire can provide a structured way to access the vehicles required without committing to outright ownership.
FINANCING AND ELIGIBILITY.
Commercial vehicle leasing UK solutions are available to qualifying businesses of different sizes. Contract hire is not restricted to a specific vehicle brand, allowing businesses to consider vehicles based on their operational requirements rather than being limited to one manufacturer.
Eligibility and contract terms will depend on the individual business and proposed fleet requirements. Seven Asset can discuss the available options with businesses looking to establish or expand their commercial vehicle fleet.
