STOKE-based Central Contracts, which trades as Leasecar.uk, says its strategic partnerships with OEMs is resulting in enhanced benefits for Central Contracts customers
By securing better deals with OEMs and offering exclusive access to vehicle stock, Central Contracts can deliver improved discounts and reduced lead times on popular models.
Manufacturers like Kia, Toyota and Stellantis are among those contributing to these improved offerings, making the vehicle acquisition process smoother and more efficient for the broker’s customers.
Personal lease customers can now benefit from a range of exclusive advantages, including:
- Improved model support actions: Direct access to OEM support for various vehicle models.
- Exclusive stock visibility: Early and exclusive insight into available vehicle inventory.
- Funder-led tactical agreements: Access to special deals and offers initiated by finance providers.
- Reduced lead times: Faster delivery of popular vehicle models.
- Competitive pricing: Better availability of vehicles at more attractive prices.
With more OEM partnerships, Central Contracts says it’s also seeing greater growth and so far this year has been a record. In the last 12 months, volume at Central Contracts has risen significantly, with 75% of this attributed to directly negotiated OEM deals. A 45% customer renewal rate has also helped.
"We are delighted to offer our customers a better choice of vehicles at the best price. This is a direct result of our comprehensive OEM strategy, which focuses on building stronger relationships and consistently delivering on our promises. Our commitment to fostering direct relationships and providing honest counsel has built trust, enabling us to secure improved leasing deals for our customers."
Despite a challenging economic climate, the PCH sector shows promising signs as greater discounts appear. While the overall BVRLA leasing broker fleet has seen a slight contraction, PCH-focused brokers like Central Contracts says it has experienced a healthy start to 2025. The recent interest rate cut further strengthens the market, empowering Central Contracts to offer outstanding value in vehicle financing and leasing.
Gareth added: “At a time when the cost of living continues to impact drivers, lower interest rates are freeing up disposable income, allowing us to help consumers through lower prices and more choice by engaging with OEMs.”
Central Contracts remains confident that its OEM relationships will solidify its position as a leading broker in the UK, dedicated to providing outstanding choice, value, and service to its customers, while enhancing customer retention by ensuring a consistent supply of in-demand vehicles.
