Personal Car Leasing

 

Meridian Vehicle Solutions offers a range of different finance options to help put customers throughout Hemel Hempstead, Milton Keynes and Watford behind the wheel of their dream car with our personal car leasing. Our options include Personal Contract Purchase, Personal Contract Hire and/or Hire Purchase (or Conditional Sale).

 

Consider these factors: 

 

  • Select a vehicle that best meets your needs*
  • Assess your monthly affordability
  • Do you want maintenance and servicing included?
  • How long can you commit to?

As with all financial agreements, you will need to pass a credit check in order to finalise the contract. This relies upon you having a good credit history. 

Personal Contract Purchase 

A PCP contract is typically for 2-4 years. Under the contract, customers agree to a mileage limit for the term and pay a deposit. The monthly payment will be lower than with hire purchase or a conditional sale, as customers are only covering the estimated depreciation over the term. Customers can own the car at the end of the agreement if they pay the final (or balloon) payment. Customers can also choose to simply return the car at the end of the contract provided it is in good condition *see our FAQ’s page for return standards. The monthly payments are usually higher than with Personal Contract Hire, but customers get the flexibility to keep the car at the end of the contract or to settle it early. 

Personal Contract Hire

Personal Contract Hire (or PCH) for used cars is becoming increasingly popular due to the long delivery times on new cars. Customers can set the term, initial payment and annual mileage to achieve a monthly payment that fits their budget.

Personal Contract Hire is a method of car leasing that involves paying fixed monthly payments to drive a vehicle for an agreed period. Usually, PCH contracts are 2-5 years long, and at the end of the agreed contract customers simply hand the keys back and begin the hunt for their next vehicle.

Hire Purchase 

Hire Purchase (or HP) or Conditional Sale is a very popular and flexible way to acquire the vehicle customers want and to take ownership of it once the value has been fully repaid. Hire purchase is similar to a bank loan that is secured against the value of the car, as once the repayments have been completed, the customer will own their vehicle.

The lessee will pay a deposit to secure their car, and then repay the full balance over their preferred term. Once the repayments have been completed, the customer will own their car outright.

The benefits of PCP include:
  • Flexible options – the vehicle can be purchased at the end of the contract
  • Monthly payments are often lower than other finance options, such as personal loans
  • No obligation to purchase the vehicle at the end of the agreement
  • No fear of the future trade-in or resale value as this is agreed upon at the beginning of the contract
  • The opportunity to drive a vehicle that you cannot afford to purchase outright
The benefits of PCH include:
  • Fixed Monthly Payments
  • Able to change vehicles at the end of each contract
  • Not impacted by depreciation
  • Low initial deposit
  • Quality of vehicle
  • Maintenance and Servicing can be included
The benefits of HP include:
  • Pay a deposit to secure the vehicle
  • Repay over an agreed term
  • Once payments are completed, customers  will own their car  without having to pay a large settlement fee
  • It’s available on both new and used cars
  • There are no mileage limits
  • Customers do not need to worry about the condition of the vehicle as they are its registered owner

We recently bought a Mercedes from Meridian Vehicle Solutions and would highly recommend them. We are very happy with our car and the whole purchasing process went very smoothly. Kaine was so friendly and accomodating. The next time we are looking to buy a car we will definitely check with Meridian Vehicle Solutions first.

I was looking for a Mercedes GLC and the perfect one popped up from Meridian on Autotrader. I took it for a test drive and a week later collected it and part exchanged with my existing BMW. It was a very professional, seamless experience and I appreciate the effort Phil and his team went to. I would certainly recommend Meridian to others in search of a used car.

Very happy with our purchase of a Skoda Kodiaq from Phil and the team in September 2021. Amazing service throughout including Phil coming in when they were closed on the August bank holiday weekend to let us have a test drive and then very easy and straightforward to make the purchase. We are very happy the new vehicle and would highly recommend Phil and the team.

I bought a fantastic Audi Q7 from Meridian. I was a bit concerned at first that they weren't an Audi dealer but I didn't need to be. The car was in fantastic condition and exactly as they described. Kaine, the sales manager was very helpful to the point of coming in on a Saturday morning to do the exchange. I would recommended them to others considering buying a car.

I found myself in need of a 4x4 vehicle urgently when my previous beloved Range Rover needed replacing. Having called 19 audi dealers and other lease companies i, found that no one could supply a Q7 for 4 to 6 months . Meridian sourced and delivered my wonderful new car in 5 days.
They were probably the only company in the uk that could manage that at that time.
Polite impeccable service. Good communication throughout. I have never leased before and Phil Jerome was brilliant at taking me through the whole process calmly and quickly and reducing all of my doubts and fears.
Meridian even dealt with my number plate change quickly.
Thank you. A fantastic service. I will be leasing again from them when the time comes.

I was somewhat dubious buying a vehicle I hadn't seen, on the other side of the country from a company I had never heard of. Despite the offer of delivery I opted to travel and personally collect the vehicle.

Everything went very smoothly and the car was in immaculate condition.
Many thanks to Phil and the team for all the assistance.
