Q: What if I go over my agreed contract mileage?

Q: What happens at the end of my lease?

After the car is handed back, there is a general check for damage and wear and tear.

What is personal contract hire (PCH)?

Personal Contract Hire (PCH) is the long-term lease of a brand-new vehicle. PCH is different to Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) as a PCH vehicle cannot be purchased at the end of a lease, unlike PCP vehicles. During the lease agreement, fixed monthly payments of a PCH vehicle will be discussed, as well as an agreed mileage and time period for the lease.
