Contract Hire for Commercial Vehicles
Flexible, cost-effective Contract Hire and Leasing options for your business. Drive new vehicles without the commitment of ownership.
What is Contract Hire?
Flexible vehicle leasing, without the ownership hassle.
Contract Hire is a fixed-term leasing agreement that allows you to drive a new vehicle while avoiding the risks and responsibilities of ownership. Instead of purchasing, you pay monthly to use the vehicle over a set period and mileage.
Ideal for businesses wanting control and convenience.
You hand the vehicle back at the end of the term — no selling, no stress. It’s a popular option for companies looking to manage costs, maintain a modern fleet, and stay focused on business.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It
We have a good relationship with JDS Trucks who introduced us to Hexagon Leasing who have supplied the trucks on a 4-year contract and will be providing the fleet management service. Hexagon mirrors the high-quality service and good relationship which Pace have come to expect from JDS Trucks over the last 30+ years.
We have a dual partnership with Hexagon Leasing. They have been really helpful and assisted us in exploring our options in terms of cost, payload and efficiencies, and this is the start of us replacing our older fleet assets.
We found Hexagon to be the right partnership for Premier, offering an excellent level of customer support and dealing with our requirements with a reliable efficiency.
