If you're interested in reviewing you fleet funding methods, contact us to book a free fleet review. We use KPMG's carWISE fleet financial modelling tool to independently forecast the cost of acquiring, operating and disposing of company cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs). Our review is suitable for any fleet running 50 or more cars or light commercial vehicles.

Using this modelling software, Hitachi Capital can help you to assess whether your business is funding its fleet in the most efficient way through a no obligation fleet funding and policy review. Contact us today to book your free fleet review.

*If at the end of your first three months with Hitachi Capital you are not happy for any reason with your contract hire agreement you can choose to cancel your agreement. You would be required to return the cash lump sum Hitachi Capital provided for your vehicles. In return we would return your vehicles and you would then be free to continue with your original outright purchase policy. Should any vehicle maintenance costs have been incurred by Hitachi Capital during this period you would be required to cover these costs. To take advantage of this offer, the sale and leaseback agreement must apply to a minimum of ten vehicles. This offer may be withdrawn at any time.
