Why Lease a Car for Your Business?
Business car leasing continues to grow in popularity for a simple reason: it works. Instead of buying vehicles outright, you lease them over a fixed period and return them at the end, freeing up capital and removing the burden of resale or depreciation.
This model is particularly useful for businesses wanting to maintain a professional image, offer reliable transport to employees, or benefit from fixed monthly payments that make budgeting easier. With tax benefits available for many users — including VAT reclaim and deductible lease payments — leasing is often more financially effective than purchasing outright, especially when vehicle technology and emissions standards change rapidly.
Popular Cars for Business Use
When choosing company cars, practicality, running costs and driver comfort are key factors. That’s why many of our clients choose hatchbacks like the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra or Toyota Corolla — models known for their reliability, value and familiarity on UK roads.
Estate cars such as the Skoda Octavia and Peugeot 308 SW remain popular with businesses needing boot space for tools, samples or stock. We also lease saloons like the Volkswagen Passat or Hyundai Ioniq 6, which combine efficiency with a more premium look and feel for customer-facing roles. Whatever your business needs, we’ll help you shortlist vehicles that work for your team and your balance sheet.
Electric and Hybrid Cars for Company Drivers
Electric and plug-in hybrid cars are changing the game for business users. With significantly lower running costs and generous tax advantages — including Benefit-in-Kind rates as low as 2 percent — many companies are switching to electric vehicles as part of their fleet policy.
We lease a wide selection of electric and hybrid business cars, including the Tesla Model 3, BMW i4, Cupra Born and Mercedes-Benz EQE. For plug-in hybrids, models such as the BMW 330e, Kia Sportage PHEV and Toyota Corolla Hybrid offer a great balance of electric efficiency and petrol convenience.
If you're unsure where to start, our team will walk you through charging considerations, BiK rates and TCO comparisons to help you make an informed decision.
Company Car Leasing for Sole Traders & SMEs
Leasing isn't just for large companies. Sole traders and small business owners across the UK choose AMT Auto for flexible leasing options tailored to their size and stage of growth.
We regularly work with clients who are newly established or have limited trading history, helping them secure a lease that fits their income and usage. Even if you've been declined by other funders, we’ll assess your application individually and look for ways to get you approved.
For many SMEs, leasing their first or second business vehicle with us is the first step in building a fleet that supports expansion without overextending finances.
Executive & Director Car Leasing
When you’re sourcing a vehicle for a company director or senior executive, image, refinement and tax planning all play a part. That’s why we offer tailored lease plans on executive cars such as the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, Mercedes EQE and Tesla Model Y.
These vehicles offer advanced safety, connectivity and driver-assistance features as standard, while also allowing directors to drive high-end models with lower BiK exposure when electric or hybrid variants are chosen.
For those seeking something even more specialist, we can also support leasing for vehicles over £150,000, subject to underwriting and contract structure. Whether you need a high-spec vehicle as a statement piece or simply want a better way to fund a flagship model, we’re here to help.
Business Contract Hire for Cars
Business Contract Hire (BCH) is the most popular form of company car leasing in the UK. Under BCH, your business rents the car for an agreed term — typically between 24 and 48 months — and simply returns it at the end.
There’s no risk of negative equity, no resale to manage, and no ongoing ownership obligations. It’s ideal for businesses that want predictable costs, easy budgeting and minimal admin. BCH is also compatible with electric, hybrid and petrol vehicles, and we can include optional maintenance plans for full peace of mind.
Our team will help you set appropriate mileage, initial payment and contract terms based on your needs — then compare funder rates to deliver the best possible quote.
