When the pricing files are downloaded, the special offer sections are updated individually by each contract hire leasing partner. These offers do vary depending on each Company, the type of contract, annual mileage, length of term and the models available, however there are some exceptional bargains to be had.

Prices are displayed in a lowest cost order to help you find the car, van or pick-up for you. If the offer is not quite what you are looking for i.e. you may want to have a shorter contract length or a higher annual mileage for example, contact the partner direct for a revised quotation.

See the Home Page and the four Special Offers sections for more details.

With the launch of the new Insignia, Vauxhall says goodbye to the Vectra model, with some amazing contract hire prices, reports comparecontracthire.com, the UK’s first contract hire price comparison site for SMEs.

All rentals shown below are based over three years, at 10,000 miles per annum, on a 3 payment initial rental followed by subsequent 35 rentals and are exclusive of VAT.  Other terms will be available directly from the site quote engines. Please note that if you are VAT registered, only 50% of the VAT applied to each rental shown, can be claimed back.

Robert Wastell, founder of Comparecontracthire.com said ” There are clearly some great opportunities to drive a quality vehicle, with a proven track record, at prices that are really affordable. In the current economic climate, choosing the outgoing Vauxhall Vectra model, provides an excellent opportunity to save money, for any SME looking for their next vehicle”.

Robert went on to say ” The example prices shown are based on non maintenance contract hire. I would also recommend that SMEs look at prices including ”with maintenance” for added protection from future costs, which are all readily available off the site”.

When looking for a new car or commercial van on contract hire it can be a daunting task trying to obtain four or five quotations to make sure you are getting value for money.

Contract Hire is form of rental and provides fixed cost motoring at an affordable price.

The contract hire leasing companies all have different ways of calculating their rentals and the biggest factor affecting their price is the residual value or re-sale value of the vehicle in three or four years time.

For example on www.comparecontracthire.com a Ford Fiesta 1.6 Econetic Tdi 3 Door on a three year non maintained, business contract hire rental @10,000 miles per annum, the difference quoted from the various suppliers on displayed rentals, is £46 per month. 

That is 38 payments at £46 per month or a saving over the contract life of £1748. This is a massive saving and shows the value of price comparison via the Internet.

Comparecontracthire.com is the UK’s first business and personal contract hire price comparison site showing prices directly from 12 leading contract hire finance companies. Prices can be compared by the exact model of your choice, by your budget range, by CO2 g/km output or by Combined MPG.

With over half a million variations you can obtain a new car or van contract hire lease at the best possible price for you. The car and van leasing companies also display their latest car and commercial vehicle leasing offers as well. More information is available at www.comparecontracthire.com

IAM’s top tips for driving in winter weather

With blizzards and plunging temperatures forecast across the UK this weekend, the IAM (Institute of Advanced Motorists) has warned of the increased danger for road users.

If the weather is bad, drive only if it is really necessary.  If the journey is necessary, drivers should ensure their car is properly prepared and they know how to cope with the changing road conditions.

The IAM advice for car and van motorists driving in bad winter weather conditions is:

-Take it slow and allow extra time for the journey, even if it is the usual work, van delivery or school run. Other traffic on the road will be driving slower as well so anticipate this

- In snow or ice, slow down and keep well back from the vehicle in front. When roads are slippery, it will take ten times longer to stop so drivers need to look a long way ahead and plan to move lanes as necessary

- Use low gears to help keep traction, especially on hills, and use gears to restrain  your speed on downhill sections to avoid the need to brake sharply

-The road in front of vehicles clearing snow is likely to be worse than the road behind. Don’t pass these vehicles and stay well back if they are gritting

- Check the windscreen washer is topped up with windscreen washer fluid for the appropriate outside temperature and that the wiper blades are clean and free of oli and grease. Drivers also need a clear view out of all windows not just the windscreen so don’t drive off if your windows are still frosted or covered with snow.

-Turn on headlights to see and be seen. Bad weather causes poor visibility for all motorists

-  Pack an emergency kit  such as warm outdoor clothes, a reflective jacket, a torch, a fully charged mobile phone.

- Drivers should also remember to be cautious at all times, check the weather forecast before heading off on their journey, and prepare for familiar, short journeys as well as long ones.

Comparecontracthire.com also suggests three other items to consider

- Make sure your tyres are in a healthy condition – i.e. not near the legal limit of 2 mm and are not damaged. See www.comparecontracthire.com/tyre-safety.php for more details. 

-Take a blanket, a hot drink (tea or coffee) and a snack in case your car or van breaks down. The RAC, AA and other rescue recovery companies may be busy this weekend and you may be waiting a bit longer if demand is high,

- It might also help to plan your route so check out the live Trafficmaster map as well at www.comparecontracthire.com
