Business Leasing
If you are entering into a car leasing contract, you will need to maintain your vehicle in line with manufacturers guidelines. This will include regular servicing, replacement of wear and tear items and possibly an MOT depending on the length of your contract. There are two ways you can choose to maintain your vehicle.
A maintenance package covers routine servicing and maintenance as recommended by the manufacturer. When you lease a vehicle with Rivervale, the leasing company could be one of several it will depend on who has the best deal for you at that time.

It covers all routine servicing, maintenance and wear and tear with a fixed monthly rental. This spreads out motoring costs into manageable chunks, so there is never a large bill to contend with. The cost will vary due to the type of vehicle, length of lease and the mileage covered.
To work out if it'll make financial sense for you, we suggest working out the overall cost of your maintenance package, then comparing it to the price of servicing and replacement items such as tyres, bulbs, and wipers on your chosen car throughout your lease.
