Business contract hire offers fixed-cost motoring – you know exactly what your monthly payments will be, so you can budget accurately. Business contract hire is available to sole traders, partnerships and limited companies wishing to fund a Mercedes-Benz or smart car.

Business contract hire is the most popular finance option for VAT registered companies when funding their cars. VAT registered companies can reclaim 50% of the total payments made and all of the maintenance package costs*. More than 40% of companies choose business contract hire (Fleet Week).

Routine servicing and maintenance** costs can be included for a small addition to the business contract hire monthly rentals. Scheduled servicing and maintenance can be carried out at a Mercedes-Benz or smart main dealer of your choice.
