FAQ
Contract hire & fleet management — your questions answered
Common questions about contract van hire and fleet management for businesses in Ireland.
What is contract hire?
- Contract hire is a long term rental agreement where you pay a fixed monthly fee to use a vehicle for an agreed period and mileage, without owning it. Kearys handles sourcing and maintenance, so you get predictable costs and none of the risks of ownership.
Do you offer contract hire for businesses?
- Yes. We provide contract van hire and fleet management for businesses across Ireland, from a single vehicle to large fleets. Packages include fixed monthly costs, full maintenance and online fleet visibility, freeing your team to focus on the business.
What are the benefits of contract hire over buying?
- Contract hire keeps vehicles off your balance sheet, spreads cost into fixed monthly payments, protects cash flow and removes the hassle of maintenance and resale. It also keeps a modern, well-presented fleet on the road, improving your company image.
What is included in fleet management?
- Our fleet management covers vehicle sourcing, scheduled servicing and maintenance, replacement vehicles and reporting, all with online visibility through our Fleet Portal. We handle the administration so you can concentrate on running your business.
Is contract hire off balance sheet?
- Contract hire is typically treated as an operating cost rather than an owned asset, keeping the vehicles off your balance sheet and preserving borrowing capacity. We recommend confirming the accounting treatment with your finance team or accountant.
