What does a profile like 9+47 actually mean?

Nine rentals are taken shortly after delivery, then 47 monthly rentals follow. That is 56 rentals across a 48-month contract. Paying more up front lowers every rental after it, though the total you pay barely moves.

Is the initial rental a deposit?

No. It is rent paid in advance, so it is not refundable and it does not come back to you at the end. That is the main difference between a lease and a PCP deposit.

What happens if I go over my mileage?

You pay an excess charge for each mile over the allowance, shown on the vehicle page before you order. Buying the miles up front is almost always cheaper than paying excess later, so estimate honestly.

Can I end a lease early?

Usually yes, but there is a settlement figure to pay, and it is rarely cheap in the first half of a contract. Ask us for a figure before you commit to anything — we will give you the funder’s number, not an estimate.

Do I need to be VAT registered to lease as a business?

No. Sole traders, partnerships and limited companies can all lease. VAT registration only affects whether you can reclaim VAT — typically 50% on a car used privately as well as for work, and 100% on a commercial vehicle.

What condition does the vehicle need to be in when it goes back?

Fair wear and tear, judged against the BVRLA industry standard. Light scuffs and stone chips are expected on a four-year-old car; kerbed alloys, dents and missing service history are not. We send you the guide before delivery, not at the end.

What customers said

I had a quote elsewhere and could not work out why it was so high. They showed me the same car on a longer contract with a bigger upfront and it came down by sixty pounds a month. No pressure to order on the call.

Priya N. · Leeds · Kia Sportage

Third van through them. They told me straight that the model I asked about had a five-month wait and suggested one in stock instead. That kind of answer is why I keep going back.

Marcus D. · Bristol · Ford Transit Custom

Being able to see every mileage and term priced on one screen saved a lot of back and forth. I picked the profile myself and the final agreement matched the number on the page.
