What is a business contract hire?

It's a long-term, cost-effective car lease agreement for business customers, letting you drive a premium car with a or monthly rental fee and no risk of depreciation or resale hassle. Think of us as car lenders, allowing you to drive your vehicle for as long as you need at a fixed monthly cost.

Can I include maintenance in my lease agreement?

You can add optional maintenance packages that cover servicing, tyres, and other specific repairs, making your vehicle rental experience entirely hassle-free.

Do you have electric vehicles or hybrid car options?

Of course! Our business car hire fleet includes hybrid cars and also electric cars like Tesla and plug-in hybrids from BMW and Audi, making them perfect for those who are conscious about emissions. Choose from our eco-friendly hatchbacks, city cars, people carriers, luxury sedans and more.

How does excess mileage work?

When you hire cars for a long lease term, you get an agreement that includes an annual mileage allowance. Exceeding it incurs a small charge per mile, clearly stated in your lease agreement.

Are there any upfront costs?

You'll typically make an initial payment (sometimes called an initial rental), followed by fixed monthly payments. No hidden or surprise fees.

Can I get a short-term car hire for business?

Absolutely. Our short-term car hire solutions are ideal for contractors, new staff, or temporary projects needing flexible transport.

Do you offer account management for corporate clients?

Yes. Every business lease vehicle account includes a dedicated contact for renewals, replacements, and billing, ensuring seamless service at every step.

Can I use the business car for personal use?

You can drive your commercial vehicle for private use, but it must be specified in your lease agreement for insurance and tax purposes.

What documents do I need for business car leasing offers?

You'll need proof of business registration, address, and financial verification for Financial Conduct Authority compliance before signing your lease agreement.

Do you have used cars or are they brand new?

A lot of our lease vehicles are brand-new cars, but depending on your chosen car lease deal and availability, it can vary. Rest assured, any car you pick up from Autofusion will be serviced and maintained to perfection.

Simple Steps

How Business Car Hire Works on Autofusion

Booking business vehicles through Autofusion follows a simple three-step process, whether you are booking one car or a fleet of lease vehicles.

Step 01

Choose your location and hire period

Enter your delivery location anywhere in the UK and select your required hire dates or contract duration. Partners cover all major business hubs, airports and regional offices nationwide.

Step 02

Compare vehicles + contract options

Browse available vehicles from approved partners, filter by vehicle type, contract length, mileage allowance or budget, and review full pricing and terms including what is and is not included.

Step 03

Book and confirm

Submit your booking request, provide business and driver documentation, and receive confirmation directly from your chosen partner. Corporate accounts can be set up at this stage for ongoing hire.

If you need a chauffeur-driven option for senior executives, airport collection for travelling staff, or a long-term rental arrangement aligned to a project lease term end date, these options are clearly flagged during the comparison stage.

Business Car Hire UK: Locations and Coverage

Autofusion works with approved business car hire partners across the whole of the UK, covering every major business region, city and transport hub.

Our partners also cover Luton, Bristol, Nottingham and other major business locations outside the largest cities. If your team operates from multiple locations, vehicles can be arranged across regions through the same business account.

The largest concentration of corporate hire partners in the UK, with delivery to offices, business parks, and major airports including Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton. Strong availability for both daily executive hire and longer-term fleet arrangements.

Birmingham and surrounding areas, with partners covering corporate travel, project fleet hire and delivery to office and industrial locations throughout the region.

Manchester and Liverpool, with airport-based collections at Manchester Airport and delivery across the wider North West business corridor.

Business car hire pricing depends on vehicle class, contract length, mileage requirements and what is bundled into the package. Here is what to expect.

Short-term business hire is priced by the day or week. Economy, city car, and compact vehicles are the most cost-effective for everyday staff travel. Executive and premium vehicles carry higher day rates. Corporate account holders may access preferential rates with regular-use partners.

Medium and long-term business hire is generally priced on a monthly basis, with rates reducing as contract length increases. Six and twelve-month arrangements offer significantly better value through fixed monthly payments than rolling daily hire. These sit between standard short-term hire and a traditional 2-4 year business car leasing or contract hire arrangement.

Many partners offer all-inclusive business hire packages covering insurance, vehicle maintenance, tyres, breakdown cover and road tax in a single monthly fee. This simplifies budgeting and removes the need to manage servicing separately. Inclusions are clearly itemised on every partner listing.

Business hire contracts typically include a set mileage allowance, with tiered options available for higher-mileage users such as field sales teams or multi-site operators. Excess mileage charges are defined in the contract and shown before you book.

Business hire insurance covers third-party liability as a minimum. Named additional drivers can usually be added. Excess levels and damage waiver options vary by partner and are clearly shown before you confirm.

Electric business hire vehicles currently attract significantly lower Benefit-in-Kind rates than petrol or diesel alternatives, which can represent a meaningful saving for businesses providing company cars. Specific BIK rates should be confirmed with your accountant, as these are subject to HMRC rules and annual review.

Most partners require a deposit, initial rental payment, or credit check for business hire. No-deposit and low-deposit options are available from selected partners, subject to creditworthiness. Business payment terms including monthly invoicing are available through corporate accounts.

End-of-contract processes, including vehicle condition checks, are outlined in the hire agreement or lease agreement before you sign.
