Why choose car leasing over car purchasing?
|
Purchasing an instructor vehicle outright might seem like an attractive option.
However, when the real costs of running an instructor car are calculated, for many
car leasing is a simpler, more cost effective route.
|
|
A driving instructor vehicle can typically do 30,000 miles per year and will often
suffer more wear and tear than the average car.
Instructor vehicles tend to go through more tyres, clutches and brakes than normal
- and many driving instructors underestimate the cost of repairs.
|
|
Repairs can be costly, not only in terms of garage bills, but also in terms of vehicle
downtime. A vehicle off the road means cancelled lessons - and no income.
Leasing your instructor vehicle gives you the benefit of being able to budget accurately.
The price of routine maintenance is included in the leasing cost - and a replacement
car is provided when your car is off the road.
With leasing, there's no need to find an initial, large deposit - plus you get the
benefits of a new car every 7, 12 or 18 months.
The road fund license and breakdown cover is included in the price. If required,
we can also provide your insurance.

Do I need a deposit? If so, how much?
|
We require a small refundable deposit of £150.00 plus a non-refundable documentation
fee of £45.00.
This is logged against the vehicle to ensure it is returned to us at the end of
the contract in good condition for its year and mileage.

Is the monthly rental fixed?
You pay a fixed monthly rental according to the type of vehicle you have chosen.
The rentals are fixed for the term of the contract and can not be increased other
than by the rate of VAT imposed by the government or, if you have taken out our
vehicle insurance, the yearly premium is increased.
