# Business car leasing for UK companies URL: https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/business Business leasing # Leased by the company. Invoiced to the company. Yes, we lease to UK businesses. A company can lease a performance or prestige car on a 3-month minimum term — one month up front, then one a month, with 1,000 miles a month included — and more than one vehicle at a time if you need it, invoiced to the business with VAT shown separately. Leasing through the company is the usual route, and it is the one this website is set up for. A person confirms every booking · No payment taken online · Delivery or collection, your choice **Initial payment** 1+2 (1 month up front, then 2 monthly payments) **Invoicing** To the company, VAT shown separately **Delivery** Office, home, hotel, unit base or location ## Enquire for your business Six short steps — how long, what, budget, where, who is leasing and who we come back to — and the budget step is skippable. It takes about a minute, nothing is agreed and no payment is taken online. If it is a production, say so at the company step and we will come back with unit-base delivery priced in rather than added afterwards. ## What do businesses use us for? ### Directors and business owners The right car for as long as the business needs it, without putting a six-figure asset on the balance sheet. Leased by the company, invoiced to the company, delivered to the office or to your home. ### Client entertaining and hospitality The car that collects a client from an airport, turns up at a race meeting or sits outside a dinner in town — on the books for the year rather than leased in each time. ### Film, television and commercial production Picture cars, background vehicles, and cars for stills and campaign shoots — with unit base delivery and the awkward questions answered before the call sheet goes out. ### Events, launches and marketing A car on a stand, outside a venue, or as the centrepiece of an activation. Delivered clean, on time and to the exact spot, with someone from us handling the drop if you need it. ### Dealers, brokers and garages A stand-in for a customer whose own car is with you, or a demonstrator you do not hold. Arranged on the same terms as any other lease, invoiced to the business. ## How is business leasing different from leasing as an individual? The car and the service are identical. What changes is who the agreement is with, how it is paid, and how it is set up: a company can lease straight through this website, whereas a lease in a person’s own name is handled case by case. | Question | Through the business | As an individual | | --- | --- | --- | | Who the agreement is with | Your company, with a named driver on it. | You, as an individual. | | How it is paid | Invoiced to the company, VAT shown separately. | Paid by the hirer directly. | | The term | Three months at a minimum, on one agreement, and it runs on from there. | Three months at a minimum, on the same terms. | | Whether it goes through this website | Yes — this is the usual route. | Handled case by case. Speak to us first. | | More than one car at a time | Yes, on one agreement and one invoice. | Possible, but one hirer, one agreement. | | The security deposit | Still held against a card in the named hirer’s own name. | Held against the hirer’s card. | VAT and tax treatment depend on your circumstances and on how the car is used, and the position on a car is different from the position on a van. We are not accountants and nothing on this page is tax advice — ask yours. What we can say is that the monthly charges are invoiced with VAT shown separately, so the paperwork is what they will want to see. ## Can a company lease a car by the month? Yes, and it is the only arrangement we write. One monthly figure, inclusive of VAT, on a 3-month minimum term: one month up front, then one a month, with 1,000 miles a month included as standard. The agreement is with the company rather than the driver and it is set up properly before it starts. It is a lease and not a finance agreement — no credit agreement, no balloon payment, no option to purchase — and the car comes back to us at the end. ### When it makes sense - A director’s car for as long as it is needed. Something appropriate to drive without putting a six-figure asset on the balance sheet or into a three-year finance agreement. - A factory order that has slipped again. A build slot that has moved twice, a restoration with no end date, or a lengthy insurance claim — the agreement carries on by the month, so it covers all three for however long they take. - Somebody working here for a year. A colleague in from overseas on a posting who needs the right car rather than whatever the airport desk has left. - Living with one before you buy it. A few months of real ownership tells you what a test drive never will, including whether it fits in your garage. The mileage allowance is monthly — 1,000 miles a month, included as standard — and it is published on each vehicle page along with the pence-per-mile charge beyond it. Leasing in a person’s own name on an agreement that can run beyond three months works differently in law, so we handle those personally rather than through this website — [ask us](https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/contact) and we will talk it through. More detail on [how leasing works](https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/hire). ## Do you supply cars for film and TV production? Yes. We supply picture cars, background vehicles and cars for stills and commercial shoots, delivered to the unit base or straight to the location. The agreement is the same lease as everything else here, three months at the shortest, so it suits a production that keeps the car rather than one that needs it for a fortnight. Anything beyond normal road use — camera rigs on the bodywork, low-loader work, action driving — is agreed and specifically covered in advance, never on the day. ### How long the production has the car The shortest agreement is a three-month lease, so this suits a block of principal photography, a returning series or a car a production company keeps on the books — not a fortnight of second unit. Tell us the run of the production at the enquiry stage and we will say plainly whether it is something we can supply. ### Whether the car is driven, or dressed and static A hero car driven on camera, a background car parked in shot and a car dressed for a stills set are three different jobs with three different sets of conditions. Say which at the enquiry stage. ### Anything beyond normal road use Camera mounts or rigs on the bodywork, low-loader and tracking-vehicle work, action or precision driving, running on private land or a closed road: all of it has to be agreed and specifically covered in advance. We will not agree it on the day, and we would rather tell you that now than on set. ### Continuity across days, and matched cars If a scene needs the same car across non-consecutive days, or two of the same car in the same colour, that is a sourcing question and it needs asking early. Registration plates on our own cars are obscured in photography as standard. ### Location, unit base and access We deliver to the unit base or straight to the location. Low cars, cobbles, gravel, height barriers and residential parking restrictions are all worth flagging in advance. ### Who drives it, and who is insured to Only a driver named on the agreement and accepted for that vehicle can drive it — that includes cast. If you need someone from us to deliver, stand by and handle the car for the day, ask, and it is quoted separately rather than assumed. ### What we need on the enquiry - Production name and company, and who is signing. - The date you need the car from, and how long the production runs. - Location and unit base, with any access constraints. - The exact car, or the character of car you are matching to. - Whether it is driven on camera, driven off camera, or static. - Who drives, and whether they are on the agreement. - Anything being attached to, or filmed from, the vehicle. ### What we will not agree to on the day Rigs bonded or suction-mounted to paintwork, tracking-vehicle and low-loader work, action or precision driving, running on private land or a closed road, and any driver who is not named on the agreement. None of that is a no — all of it is a conversation we need to have in advance so it can be agreed and covered properly. A production that tells us at the enquiry stage generally gets a yes. We do not publicise what we supply or to whom. Discretion is part of the job.

Ask at the enquiry stage and you will have them in writing before you commit to anything. **The deposit sits separately** The refundable security deposit is not part of the invoice. It is held against a card in the named hirer’s own name for the term of the agreement and released after collection once anything owed is settled. **Several cars, one agreement** More than one vehicle goes on one agreement and one invoice, with a named driver against each car. Tell us the numbers early: several cars starting together is a sourcing question as well as an availability one. **Repeat and standing arrangements** If you expect to take more than one car over time — a replacement when this term ends, a second car later in the year, a standing arrangement across the business — say so at the start. It changes how the account is set up, and it is much easier to arrange up front than retrospectively. The rest of the cost stack is the same on every agreement: the monthly figure, the month up front, paid up front, delivery and collection, the refundable deposit, the insurance excess and mileage beyond the allowance. All of it is on the quote before you commit. See [how it works](https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/how-it-works) and [insurance and excess](https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/insurance). ## Business leasing: common questions Yes. We lease to UK limited companies, LLPs and other businesses. The agreement is with the company, a named driver is listed on it, and it is invoiced to the business with VAT shown separately. Give us the company name, the driver and the start date when you enquire and we will quote it on that basis. Three months at a minimum, and longer if you want it — there is no shorter product. One month is paid up front and then one a month, with 1,000 miles a month included as standard. It is arranged case by case and set up properly before it starts: the vehicle, the mileage allowance and the driver checks all have to be agreed first. Speak to us first. Every agreement we write runs three months at a minimum and can carry on past that, and a lease to an individual capable of running beyond three months is treated differently in law, so we handle those personally rather than taking them through this website. A lease, not a finance agreement. There is no credit agreement, no balloon payment and no option to purchase: the company pays a monthly figure for three months or more, the car stays ours, and it comes back to us at the end. That depends on your business and on how the car is used, and VAT on a car is restricted differently from a van. We are not accountants and nothing on this page is tax advice — your accountant is the right person to ask. What we can tell you is that the monthly charges are invoiced with VAT shown separately, so the paperwork will be what they need. Yes, on one agreement and one invoice, with a named driver against each vehicle. Tell us how many, what for and when you need them as early as you can — several cars starting together is a sourcing question as well as an availability one. Yes — picture cars, background vehicles and cars for stills and commercial shoots, delivered to the unit base or location. Anything beyond normal road use, such as camera rigs on the bodywork, low-loader work or action driving, has to be agreed and specifically covered in advance rather than on the day. Note that the agreement itself is a lease of three months at the shortest: a production that needs a car for a fortnight is not something we can supply. The monthly figure is invoiced to the company, with VAT shown separately and a purchase order number on the invoice if you need one. Payment terms are agreed in writing before the agreement starts rather than assumed. The refundable security deposit is separate from the invoice and is held against a card in the named hirer’s own name. Only drivers named on the agreement and accepted by the insurer for that specific vehicle. Minimum age, years of full licence held and endorsement points are set per car and published on each vehicle page. Adding or swapping a named driver is usually possible if you ask before it happens rather than after. Updated October 2026.
