Personal Lease Hire is a commonly used phrase for personal leasing.
Basically, it falls into two different catagories
Personal Contract Purchase ( or PCP)
This is a regulated hire purchase agreement which normally needs to be signed on trade premises.
It encompasses a fixed rental (which includes VAT) over a fixed term and fixed mileage. Once the term has completed there is an option to return the vehicle to the funding company or pay a final payment to own.
Very importantly, should you wish to return the vehicle (which most people do) you should notify the finance company before the end of the contract.

Personal Contract Hire ( or PCH)
Personal contract hire is very similar to conventional contract hire. Once again fixed term, fixed mileage, fixed price.
One of the benefits is that PCH normally will provide road fund licence (road tax) for the term of the contract.
Also, there is no need to notify the leasing company to return the vehicle - they will contact you.
