Who provides Personal Contract Hire from Ford?

How does Personal Contract Hire differ from Hire Purchase?
Hire Purchase gives you the option of becoming the legal owner of the vehicle once all payments have been made. Personal Contract Hire is different because you only pay for the use of the vehicle (rental) and not for the value of the vehicle at the end of the contract. At the end of the agreement you simply hand the vehicle back to Ford Lease who manage Personal Contract Hire from Ford.

Who owns the vehicle?
Ford Lease is the legal owner of the vehicle however, you are responsible for any additional costs such as parking fines, traffic violations and accident damage.

Can I take the vehicle abroad?
Yes for a maximum period of 90 days on each occasion, provided written permission has been obtained from us.

What is ‘fair wear and tear’?
Fair wear and tear is the policy adopted by Ford Lease and supported by the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) to describe the condition of a vehicle, which is considered acceptable and appropriate given its age and mileage at the end of the agreement. Ford Lease will only charge for damaged or missing items in excess of this 'fair wear and tear' policy. For more information on the ‘fair wear and tear’ policy please click here.

Will I need a deposit?
You will be required to make an initial payment which may vary from one to three months' rental.

Can I buy the vehicle at the end of my contract?
No. At the end of the agreement the vehicle must be returned to Ford Lease.
