Many people still find the process of buying and selling cars unpalatable - your existing cars are never worth what you thought it was and you never seem to get much off the list price of a new one. To add to this, running costs are impossible to predict and the thing always seems to land you with a large bill when you can least afford it.
deVall Car leasing is a trading style of Leaseline a completely independent broker specialising in all aspects of vehicle funding.
Being selected partners of the leading Contract Hire and Car Leasing Companies, we have authorised access to their exclusive offers and cheapest quotes. We also negotiate with the various manufacturers to obtain further volume discounts for specialised schemes.
We give you a huge advantage over dealing with a single Contract Hire company. Being ‘Key Associates’, we have access to each of their very best rates which we then compare to offer you the most competitive quote possible.
Many car dealers lose interest in their customers the minute they leave the showroom with their new car.
We believe in staying with our clients throughout their car’s life, so, if you need advice about servicing or warranties - or even your next new cars! - we’ll be there.
How to order a car
We have an extensive list of the cheapest car leasing offers, these are the makes
and models the manufacturers are heavily discounting, maybe to promote a new
launch model or maybe they have too many of one kind. Whatever the reason the
vehicles are brand new come with full manufacturer’s warranty and delivered to your
door.
All our contracts, (unless otherwise stated) are inclusive of Road Tax for the
complete term and Breakdown Cover.
Are the payments fixed or variable?
Yes, the monthly amounts remain fixed for the duration of the contract, the only way those could alter is if there is a change in the rate of VAT or road tax.
Delivery Lead Times
Most of our Cheapest car offers are in stock and can be delivered very quickly
(dependent on documentation and can be within 7 to 14 days) we can also stall
delivery to coincide with your returning vehicle or the sale of your existing car.
It is recommended to allow a few weeks for the process.
We can talk you through the options and give very accurate indications of delivery
times as it can vary from make to make.
Colour Choice
Vehicles will normally be sourced from dealer stocks and a choice of colours will be offered where possible. Metallic paint usually costs a little extra, though sometimes this is offered free of charge.
Automatics
We normally have a comprehensive list of automatic cars available on contract hire.
Contract information
Contract Duration
Contract lengths vary. Most are for two years (24 months) duration; however some are for 1, or even four, years. This has been done to offer scheme members the choice between Changing the car frequently or ensuring price protection for a longer period.
Payment
All payments are made by direct debit to the relevant finance company.
Contract Mileage
The contracts allow for a fixed annual mileage. This is normally 10,000 miles per annum, If the vehicle exceeds that mileage during the contract term, there is an ‘excess mileage’ charge, which varies from car to car. There is no credit if less than the contract mileage is
covered. This charge is intended to reflect the impact of the incremental mileage on the second-hand value of the vehicle. All excess mileage charges are made at end-of-contract. Contracts with a higher or lower mileage are available.
Servicing
The list of dealers supplied with the car will show the location of the most convenient local dealer. Simply telephone the garage and book the vehicle in, in the normal way. Some garages may offer a collection and delivery service or a courtesy car.
Breakdown Cover
The breakdown cover is included with most contracts.
How many vehicles can I have under the scheme?
In theory, there is no limit, though the scheme is subject to status.
End of contract
Re-ordering Vehicles
We will contact you approximately 4 to 8 weeks prior to termination date to arrange a new order if required.
Purchase of Vehicle at End of Lease
In most circumstances it is possible for you or a family member to purchase the vehicle due off contract.
Early Termination of Contracts
The contract is for a fixed period and early termination of vehicles will not normally be permitted. There may, however, be exceptional circumstances where early termination of a contract becomes necessary, such as serious financial difficulty, and a formula for this eventuality is to be found in the contract terms. We do from time to time get requests for shorter lease periods, so we can, where possible; endeavour to get someone to take over your contract if this happens.
Condition of Vehicle
You are responsible for the condition of the vehicle during the contract period. This will be determined by the condition report which must be signed by you on delivery and collection. Each vehicle should be returned in a condition ‘commensurate with its age and mileage’. Vehicles will be inspected for body damage, driver negligence and warranty infringements. Should expenditure be required for repairs such as dents, scratches or missing items, the cost will be invoiced to you for immediate payment, subject to the ‘Fair Wear and Tear’ conditions below.
General information
Travelling Abroad
If you are going abroad, you will need to give at least a months’ notice so that all necessary documentation can be forwarded to you. Please call us for further details.
Parking Fines
Parking fines should be paid immediately by following the payment instructions on the parking ticket. If this procedure is not followed, the lessor as owner of the vehicle will be required to pay, together with any late payment supplements. Such amounts will be recharged to you, together with an administration fee of about £20 (plus VAT).
