Nationwide Vehicle Contracts Limited is a credit broker, not a lender and we provide motor vehicle finance brokerage services to customers via third party finance providers on business and personal contract hire agreements. As a regulated credit broker, we may introduce you to a range of finance providers who may be able to help you finance your vehicle and provide other products/services, such as vehicle maintenance and servicing packages. We will only offer products from a carefully selected panel of finance providers. We will not refer you outside of this panel without your consent. You can ask us for a list of the suppliers who provide our finance and insurance products. All the products we offer are optional. We may receive a commission or other benefits from one of our finance providers should you decide to enter into an agreement with them as a result of our introduction or, from another credit broker to whom we refer you should we be unable to arrange funding for you. If you would like more information regard to the disclosure of commissions, please speak to your Sales Adviser.
Nationwide Vehicle Contracts Limited is an insurance intermediary. We will advise and make recommendations for you after we have assessed your needs for Contract Hire and Lease GAP, Tyre and Alloy Wheel Insurance, SMART Repair Insurance and/or Warranty and Assistance products. We do not charge fees for our insurance related services, nor do we receive any additional commissions from the insurer over and above our published list price for each given product.
Your Used Car Leasing Quotation
Please check your quotation carefully to ensure you are happy with the product, the price summary and our fees. Please note, Nationwide Vehicle Contracts only offer Contract Hire and Personal Contract Hire agreements which are hire agreements, not purchase agreements. An explanation of the different elements of your quotation is included below:
Vehicle: The make, model, engine and variant of your vehicle. Please check you can obtain and afford the cost of insurance for the vehicle prior to accepting the order.
Fuel Type: Please be aware that all new diesel vehicles are fitted either with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and/or diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) technology which must be strictly maintained according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Failure to do so may result in damage to the vehicle which is NOT covered by manufacturer’s warranty or a maintenance contract. If you are considering leasing a diesel vehicle, please read our What You Need To Know Before Leasing a Diesel Vehicle guide to ensure the vehicle is right for you before proceeding with your order.
Term: The term relates to the minimum duration of your contract, this is typically 12, 24 or 36 months. Additional charges may apply if you terminate the contract early.
Annual Mileage: The annual mileage of the contract. This represents the amount of miles you (the driver) intends to travel yearly.
Registered Date: The registration date details for the vehicle.
Initial Rental: An advanced rental of usually equivalent to 1, 3, 6 or 9 monthly rentals payable to finance company usually within 7 to 14 days of delivery. This amount forms part for the hire agreement and is non-refundable.
Processing Fee: The processing fee is the broker fee charged by Nationwide Vehicle Contracts for our service and represents the costs incurred for arranging the sale, ordering the vehicle, arranging the finance and organising delivery of the vehicle. This processing fee is payable by debit or credit card or by BACs payment.
Monthly Rentals: The fixed monthly amount to be paid to the finance provider. Personal contract hire agreements include VAT at 20%.
Maintenance: The cost per month for maintenance package. If you wish to take a maintenance package as part of your vehicle, please contact your sales consultant for a formal quotation. If selected, the maintenance package covers the cost of all servicing, tyres and wear & tear items including extended breakdown cover for the duration of your contract. Please be aware that without a maintenance package, you will be responsible for all maintenance and servicing costs for the vehicle throughout the duration of your contract in line with the manufacturer’s schedule.
Excess Mileage: Any mileage over the agreed contract is charged at the excess mileage rate. This represents the cost charged in pence per mile. Please ensure you select mileage appropriate to you as some funders may not allow you to amend this at a later stage. Please note, some finance providers charge a higher rate excess mileage fee for mileage above 115% of the annual agreed figure. If this is applicable, this will be stated in your finance documentation.
Road Tax: All of our vehicles come with Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), also known as road tax, for the duration of the contract or 12 months for Finance Lease agreements. During the term of your agreement and any extended term, the finance provider will arrange for the provision of the vehicle excise duty (VED) and include this into the cost of your agreement. Please note, if the cost of the VED goes up during the term of your agreement, or any extended term, you will be liable to pay the amount of any increase.
Home EV Charge Point: If you have selected a Home EV Charge Point, we will email you with details on how to purchase directly from Pod Point. The price of the EV home charger is not included in your monthly rental and will need to be paid for separately, directly with Pod Point.
Pricing: Please note that whilst Nationwide Vehicle Contracts makes every effort to ensure that all "quoted" prices are maintained up until an "order" is confirmed, rentals are subject to change at any time by the funder and we reserve the right to pass on any price changes which may affect the rental originally quoted. In the unlikely event of a change to the rental, we will contact you by email or telephone to confirm if you wish to proceed with your order or to provide you with possible alternatives. If the alternative is not acceptable to you, Nationwide Vehicle Contracts will cancel your order without penalty and refund any monies paid.
Delivery: Nationwide Vehicle Contracts will deliver your new lease vehicle direct to your doorstep, provided your address is situated on the GB mainland. For some locations in the Scotland, the Scottish Highlands and Scottish Islands such as Dundee (DD), Inverness (IV), Aberdeen (AB), Perth (PH), Oban (PA), Greenock (PA) Stranraer (DG) and Skye (IV) a delivery charge of up £450 may be applicable depending on distance and supplying vehicle manufacturer. Customers based in Northern Ireland will need to meet the delivery driver at the Cairnryan, Stranraer or Liverpool Birkenhead port to take delivery of the vehicle. For customers living on the Isle of Wight (IOW) it is likely that our suppliers will require an additional charge for deliveries onto the Island. It is possible for customers to meet the delivery agent for handover at the port of Southhampton or Portsmouth. For all port handovers customers must present in person and present the required IDs.
Please note, quoted delivery "lead times" represent our “best estimate” based on information provided by our brand supplier. Whilst we endeavour to ensure that delivery dates are as accurate as possible, delivery dates are subject to change by the manufacturer and on occasion delays do occur due to production issues. Nationwide Vehicle Contracts Ltd will keep you informed of any known changes to your vehicle’s delivery date to allow you to make any necessary arrangements as a consequence.
Your vehicle will be delivered in a driven condition to the specified address, provided your address is situated on the UK mainland.
