Contract Hire Car Insurance from Keith Michaels
Contract Hire has now become the method of choice for many people to obtain cars, both for business use and increasingly for private ownership. The other main type of car lease is Personal Contract Purchase (PCP), and fortunately, Keith Michaels are able to provide a competitive quote for both business and private users.
The main issue for many insurance companies is the ownership of the car. It may well be that the vehicle in question is a business vehicle for company use. This means it will require company car insurance. Fortunately, we have many schemes for this particular contract hire car insurance requirement.
Many people are now entering into personal contract hire agreements and as such also need contract hire car insurance. The main issue on a standard car insurance policy will be the ownership of the car as title is retained by the contract hire company. We recognise this and have specific insurance policies in place.
Types of Contract Hire Vehicles Covered
We will look at any term of contract you have agreed to. This could be anything from short term (less than 1 year) up to 5 years+. We can also provide insurance for other kinds of hire agreements; see more about our leased vehicle insurance. If you’re not sure what kind of insurance you need, please contact us to explain your individual situation.

Contract Hire Car Insurance FAQs
What types of vehicle can be covered?
All types of contract hire vehicles can be covered, from standard and executive cars to commercial vehicles and pickups, so speak to us today.
Are contract hire vehicles more expensive to insure than owned?
Sometimes a contract hire vehicle might be more expensive to insure than an owned vehicle, simply because the hire company requires a certain level of cover. Where hire companies might demand that the driver of the vehicle take out comprehensive insurance, if you are the owner this will be entirely up to you.
