Rather than just offer fantastic car leasing deals, UK Carline has invested time and money to ensure we offer our customers all the products and services that are available to them and will help with the running of their vehicle. There is a brief description of the current services listed below however we do recommend you contact one of our account managers to discuss these products in detail.

Maintenance

It is always your responsibility to maintain the vehicle as per the manufacturers guidelines. Some are insistant that you use their own appointed dealerships, others are more relaxed so as long as the vehicle is serviced by a reputable service centre and parts of similar quality are used you will not have any problems. Some of the benefits of using a maintenance program arranged by your finance company are as follows:

Control of the servicing costs, including the prices charged for parts and labour.

Spreading the cost of the servicing over the term of use rather than paying the expensive bill in the month the work is carried out.

Cover for all tyres and expected service items including batteries, exhausts etc etc. Some of our partners will give full tyre replacement

Collection and delivery service  

Compliance and Fleet operator buying power.

As all invoices will be checked you will avoid the potential of being overcharged by your service centre.

Peace of mind.

GAP & RTi Insurance

Why Should a Customer buy Financial GAP?

More than 1,000 cars are stolen everyday in the UK

More than 1/3 of cars stolen are never recovered

Of the recovered cars over 50% are written off

Car crime represents nearly 25% of all crimes

800,000 cars are written off per annum due to accident or crime

The Finacial Gap product offers protection against any shortfall between the motor insurance payout and the financial settlement required to close the finance agreement. There are different levels of cover available, please contact our account mangers to discuss the products for your consideration.

Why should you consider return to Invoice insurance.

In the event a customer's car is stolen or written off and declared a total loss by their motor insurance company, RTI / GAP will pay to the customer the DIFFERENCE between the amount payable by the motor insurance company and the original invoice price, or the finance settlement figure up to a maximum of £20,000

These two products differ slightly depending on the funding plan you choose, with a lease or contract hire where the vehicle will be returned to the finance company it is the gap insurance which covers your rental commitment, where on a purchase plan like HP, Lease purchase or Personal Contract Purchase the RTi insurance will cover your investment by paying the difference between the motor insurance payout and the original invoice cost. There are exclusions and conditions on both policies which we will explain prior to you taking out the cover. 

Fleet risk assessment.

 In the current climate of compliance and regulation there are many issues facing the fleet operator. We wish that ingnorance was bliss but with the changes in legislation this assumption could result in prosecution. Changes post Hatfield train crash tragedy means that any company that has 5 or more members of staff who can drive for the business needs to carry out a road risk evaluation by law. This includes driver standards, driving licence checks, having a drink, drugs and a distance policy. If the company has not carried out this work it could be investigated by the police as a road death at work will be classed as an un lawful killing.

 UK Carline has a simple software solution that will carry out the assesment, recomend area's of attention and keep you compliant. Contact one of our account managers to discuss this matter further.

Fleet Review

In these difficult economic times a "fleet health check" is more important than ever. During this review we will evaluate the current vehicles you operate over a number of factors including finance cost, running cost and disposal value. We may recommend you cash in the current fleet for a cash injection, switch the way the are being funded, or recomend that there is nothing we can do but this is rarely the case. During all of the reviews we have carried out we have been able to recomend changes that resulted in a net cost saving to the company, even simple driver training and awareness can make a significant reduction in the companies car fuel burden. We strongly recommend you take up the current offer of a FREE OF CHARGE fleet review.

Help with fair wear and tear.

UK Carline and its partners apply the BVRLA (British Vehicle Rental & Leasing Association) guide to Fair Wear and Tear. The aim of the guide is to provide an industry-wide accepted standard that defines fair wear and tear on passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles when they are returned at the end of a contract or finance agreement.

• On collection, the vehicle must be in a safe and roadworthy condition, with all of the appropriate keys, equipment and documentation available. The vehicle must have a current MOTcertificate. A charge will be levied for vehicles returned without a current MOT certificate as UK Car Line have to arrange for the vehicle to be collected by trailer and then to have the vehicle tested before sale.
• Vehicles should be serviced to manufacturer's serviced schedules and have stamped service books to document this. The stamped book must be available for inspection and returned with the vehicle. If the book has not been stamped or service invoices have not been provided as proof of servicing, contract hire companies will levy a charge for incomplete and missing service histories.
• A charge will be levied for spare keys and missing standard items e.g. satellite navigation discs that are not returned with the vehicle. The vehicle should be sufficiently clean to allow a detailed inspection upon hand-over, this inspection does not form the basis of a re-charge it merely describes the condition. In some cases the collection agent is not a qualified vehicle inspector and will not be able to tell you if damage falls outside the BVRLA ‘Fair Wear and Tear' conditions.
• It is in the interests of the customer to point out damage to the collection agent and retain a copy of the collection appraisal for their records. Qualified assessors can only undertake a re-charge inspection in good light after the vehicle has been cleaned. You can expect a charge for vehicles affected with unsatisfactory in-life body repairs that require re-painting to meet manufacturer's standards.
• There may be a charge to customers for damage not recorded on collection notes, when damage is obviously not new but has been missed by the collection agent. When there is a recharge query, the team reviews the evidence on both the inspection report and the collection note. If the evidence is shown on the inspection report and supported by a digital image, whenever practical, the charge stands, (Poor previous repairs are often not clearly visible on digital images).

Short Term Vehicle Hire.

At a time when the future is a bit more uncertain than we would all be comfortable with, the need for short term leases rather than long term leases has become apparant. Many of our customers need all types solutions for vehicles for the weekend, moving office, new staff member on probation or just the lack of financial commitment  that having a 3 month lease rather than a 3 year one gives them. Working alongside Avis and Northgate, we have an infrastructure to handle every requirement. The best thing is we are confident that you will struggle to find a better value package in the UK.

 If you have the need for short term hire contact our account managers who will ba able to offer assistance.
