Finance Lease by Hilton Vehicle Leasing

Founded in 2007, Hilton Vehicle Leasing specialises in bespoke fleet solutions for mid to large-sized corporate enterprises. Our dedication to organic growth allows us to maintain the high standards our clients expect. We provide cost-effective and tax-efficient fleet management services, tailored to meet the unique needs of each corporate client in the UK, all within a service-focused environment enriched by a data-driven platform.

Finance leasing is an excellent solution for businesses that require cars, vans, and commercial vehicles but find contract hire unsuitable. This type of lease offers flexibility and tax benefits, making it ideal for companies without immediate funds to purchase vehicles outright.

Businesses engaging in a finance lease will benefit from using the vehicles without the hefty initial cost, while also handling the administration and reflecting the assets on the balance sheet. The terms include fixed monthly payments and interest rates provided usage parameters are adhered to. At the end of the lease, the vehicle can be sold to a third party, or the lessee can make a final balloon payment to continue using the vehicle under a peppercorn agreement.
