How it works
Ford Business Partner Contract Hire is an efficient way of funding the use of a vehicle without the costs of ownership.
 
It gives you peace of mind, simplicity and no hidden costs. You only pay for the amount the vehicle depreciates during its use, based on the mileage. At the end of the contract, you just return your vehicle to us.
Included services:
• We cover your Road Fund Licence throughout your contract
• You’ll have access to Ford Business Partner Driver Direct which enables you to call direct or book online for service, repairs and MOT. It offers same day vehicle collection, servicing and cleaning and a free courtesy vehicle if needed
• If your requirements change, so can your contract. We can amend it for the term, mileage and even the type of contract
• If you’re VAT registered, you may be able to recover 50% of the VAT amount applied to vehicle rental for cars and 100% of the VAT for commercial vehicles
Service, maintenance and repair

• Routine servicing
• Maintenance

Sale and leaseback
This is a brilliant solution if you have an existing fleet but want to enjoy the immediate benefits of contract hire.
 
It's simple: we buy your existing fleet and then contract hire the vehicles back to you. This removes your fleet from the balance sheet and releases substantial capital for you to reinvest in your business.
Contract end
Ford Business Partner's flexible contracts mean you are free to amend your term, mileage or contract type to meet your changing business needs.
Early termination
If a vehicle becomes surplus to your requirements, Ford Business Partner will work with you to find the most appropriate solution. In line with industry standards, our charges will reflect the loss to Ford Business Partner – a standard charge of 50% of the remaining rentals.
Excess mileage
If you’re running a fleet of 10 or more vehicles, you can opt for our pooled mileage facility, which further helps you control costs and simplify management.
Fair wear and tear
Our policy requires that our vehicles be returned in a realistic condition relating to their age and mileage. FordBusiness Partner will only charge for damaged or missing items in excess of fair wear and tear and our policy is supported by the BVRLA-approved visual guide.
