Honda Business Contract Hire
Date: 04/10/2026
Honda Contract Hire is a simple way for business customers to fund a new Honda without purchasing the vehicle outright. You pay fixed monthly rentals for an agreed period, while the leasing company owns the vehicle and takes the risk associated with its resale at the end of the agreement.
Honda Contract Hire provides businesses with predictable monthly costs without the depreciation risk associated with owning a vehicle.
Agreements are generally available for up to five years, with three-year agreements being particularly common. Depending on the agreement, maintenance, tyres, road fund licence and roadside assistance can also be included within the monthly rental.
At the end of the agreement, the vehicle is returned to the leasing company, subject to the agreed mileage and vehicle condition requirements.
Contract Hire can also offer financial benefits for businesses. Rentals may be treated as a business expense and offset against taxable profits, subject to the applicable tax rules. Where a vehicle has private use, 50% of the VAT on the finance element and 100% of the VAT on the service element may normally be recoverable.
For businesses looking to control cash flow and avoid tying up capital in company vehicles, Contract Hire can provide a straightforward alternative to purchasing a vehicle.
