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 warranty 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. In some instances, we may receive a commission from the vehicle supplier. These payments could be reflected in the monthly lease rate that you pay for your vehicle. The amount of commission received may vary depending on the funder or supplier selected, the terms of the funding and other criteria, such as achieving high levels of customer service. Some funders or suppliers may also pay us an additional commission based on business volumes. 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, for used car leasing agreements, 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.
The vehicle specification displayed on our website is supplied by a third party known as CAP. Whilst every effort is made to ensure this information is accurate, it should only be used as a guide and no decision should be made to lease a specific vehicle without verification from either the manufacturer’s website. Please check your order carefully to ensure it suits your exact requirements and if you wish to check or verify the exact specification of a particular vehicle, please check the photo suite of the actual vehicle allocated or speak to your sales consultant. All images on the website are for illustration purposes only.
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.

Total Rental: The total cost per month including the finance rental and any other optional extras (excluding service plan and extended warranty).
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.

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.

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.
