What is Business Contract Hire (BCH)?

Business Contract Hire (BCH) is a long-term vehicle leasing agreement designed specifically for businesses. It allows a company to lease a car or van for a fixed period (usually 2–5 years) and mileage, with set monthly payments. At the end of the contract, the vehicle is returned to the leasing company — there’s no option to own it.

Why get a vehicle on BCH?

When you’re running a business, reliability is a commodity you can never have too much of. You expect it from your employees, you value it in your vendors, and you need it most of all in the vehicles you drive. Which is why a Volkswagen is the perfect choice for companies who choose to leave nothing to chance. With a fantastic range of vehicles to suit all tastes and needs, there’s a Volkswagen for every business and executive. But buying one outright can cause problems for your cash flow.

Contract Hire and Leasing, on the other hand, provide a flexible and affordable way businesses to get their hands on the right Volkswagen to suit their needs, without the hassle, worry and financial obligation of vehicle ownership.
