This is Personal Contract Hire... ...what does this mean?
You don't own the car, you just rent it for 3 years then you just hand back.
You can apply to buy it at the end, but this is at the discretion of the finance company.
Usually you just rent it and then give it back - and you are free to get another car, or walk away. Your choice. Renting this car is like renting a daily rental car for a longer contract.
Personal Contract Hire is a beautiful easy product, see? I get my own cars using this method.

EXTRA CHARGES?
No extra charges on this Skoda Octavia.
Initial rental is usually paid before delivery, by cheque, card or debit payment. Initial rental is part of cost, and is not a deposit and is not refunded at end of term, just to be clear.
These prices are LIVE! They are accurate. I check prices on my website daily. Occasionally, suppliers may forget to inform me of price changes, adjustments have to be made. I take pride in having the most accurate prices on the web.
3 year rental
QUESTIONS ABOUT
THIS CONTRACT
?
This is a 3 year deal. My offer on this Skoda Octavia is on a 3 + 35 profile. You know what this means? I explain: This means that you pay 3 payments of £427.78 (including VAT) as initial payment, then you pay 35 payments of £427.78 (including VAT) monthly by direct debit. These payments are based on you driving an annual mileage of 10,000 miles per annum.
Anyone you want can drive this Skoda Octavia; you just need to insure it and put fuel in the tank. Easy! When your rental finishes, you just walk away... or swap your car for a brand-new one of the same or a different type on a new contract. It's fun to change into a brand new car! It saves washing the old one, hehe.
It's got a...
1.6 diesel engine making a huge, massive 103bhp
Engine:This Octavia has a rip-roaring common rail diesel engine! It has 4 cylinders and 16 valves. This means it kicks out 103bhp and 184 torques (but no one understands what a torque is). Jeremy Clarkson would be proud of me!
Flat out YOU can do
118mph
Gearbox: Crunching away in this sexy Octavia is a 7-speed automatic gearbox which means you will enjoy speeding along in this Skoda!
Driven
gently
with a
light
right
foot,
you get
60.0mpg
Performance: Hold on to your seatbelts! If you drive flat out, you can scorch from 0-60mph in just 11.6 seconds! If you keep going (downhill, with a following wind, avoiding the radar traps) you will bust 118mph!!! This may affect your licence and getting points means the insurance on this group 14 car might jump!
Foot to the floor 0-60mph 11.6secs
EXCEEDING THE MILEAGE
If you exceed the total mileage then at the end of the rental you pay an additional "excess mileage" charge for these extra miles. It's usually between 4p and 10p per mile.
SERVICING THIS SKODA OCTAVIA
This car deal does not include servicing.
You have to get the car serviced at the manufacturer scheduled intervals and mileage.
Most contracts allow this to be done by a non-franchised garage, but some finance companies (mainly VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat and BMWs and some Mercedes contracts) insist on using the franchised dealer.
It is hard to know exactly until we all see the finance agreements.
Whatever, if you use the car normally, the servicing requirements will be minimal. Only heavy users will ever need to replace brake pads, for example.
Because there is no other de-facto ID card in the UK, the finance company always want to see your driving licence - IN YOUR CURRENT ADDRESS as proposed. Most companies want a copy, but some insist on seeing the original.
You can upload a good copy after you order your car. When you copy or scan your licence, make sure it is folded out and shown in full.
For the new-style licence, they want to see both the paper bit and the card.
Faxing the card is bad news because you will look like a Jamaican coal miner. On a fax the image is usually bad. I recommend taking a photo and uploading it. The details and picture need to be very clear, not blurry at all.
To drive this Octavia - you need a full driver's licence!

Great Car - Skoda Octavia Estate – great service and quick responses via the 'Lingo' system. Only gripe is the finance company (London) being very slow. I think you should seriously...
Derrick Davies, St Neots
Thank you for putting up with all my requests. Getting the car took a little longer than I thought it would, but it was worth the wait. Your continued support has been much appreciated....

Your car will be on the LATEST REG PLATE (at time of delivery)...
...unless I tell you otherwise.
Sometimes, near plate-change dates, cars have to be registered on the "old" plate.
In these rare cases, there is no difference to the actual car, it is just numbers on the plastic reg plate.
Most cars can have private plates put on BEFORE delivery.
In these cases I will need the retention certificate with the "nominee" made out to whichever finance company I use.
You can usually change to a private plate AFTER delivery, too - but in this case the finance company may apply a small fee.
You can take the Skoda Octavia abroad to any normal destination (usually excluding dodgy places like Albania, etc), but you should apply for a VE103 form from the finance company before you go, which proves to the damn foreign police that you have permission to use the car.
Delivery of your new Skoda Octavia.
I get the car delivered to you at a reasonable address in the UK mainland FOR FREE.
Usually, this is your home or work address.
If you live somewhere like Northern Ireland or the Isle of Wight, I deliver the car to the mainland docks and you collect from there.
Parts of Scotland can also be chargeable.
It is all common sense, really. Cars can be driven, or delivered on trailer, at the discretion of the supplier.

Cost works out at £18.35 per day including tyres, tax, diesel and servicing
inc VAT
Your "TRUE RUNNING COSTS" includes the rental and the cost of fuel at current average UK rate, doing the combined EC miles per gallon. Running costs also include road tax, they also include a realistic servicing cost and the cost of some replacement tyres.
This means you can have a very accurate estimate of how much the car will actually cost you to run, per day. The only significant thing missing is your insurance cost because I don't know that... only you know that!

My contract does not include tyres, servicing or fuel.
There is a MYTH that repairs can cost more on lease cars. This is not true. Most repairs are tiny and can be done cheaply before your car is returned.EASY!
At the end of the contract, the car will be inspected and returned to the finance company.
Damage will be chargeable, as will excess mileage. But this is all reasonable.

Do you need to MOT?
An MOT is due on a new car's third birthday. As a coincidence, many cars on three year contracts are returned to the finance company on their third birthday, too!
If your car goes back BEFORE the MOT is due = no MOT.
If your car goes back AFTER the MOT is due = MOT needed.
