Have you ever wondered what all the little things mean when you search for leasing cars? If you are familiar with car leases or business you may not wonder, but there are some that may even throw the savviest of individuals off. To help you understand some of the jargon we are going to offer some of the terms.

You should already understand what application fee and APR mean. However, we will still close over things like that as we wind our way towards things like GMFV.

Application fee is the fee you are usually reliable for at signing when you begin a contract hire agreement. APR is the annual percentage rate you will face when you pay the monthly fee until the lease term has ended. It is the fee most companies charge in order to get a little extra money for their service.

Balloon payment is often required on car leases with personal contract hire, but it can also be a part of your business contract hire situation. It will depend on the company, but you should expect to pay a little bit more in a payment at the end. You may purchase the vehicle at the end too in order to own the car after the lease is complete.

Depreciation is the value reduction your vehicle will see when you drive it. The more age, mileage, and deteriorated the condition the more the vehicle will depreciate. With car hire you do not have to worry about depreciation as much since you will not own the car. Instead, the company that has offered you the lease will have to deal with any of the depreciation experienced.

GMFV is guaranteed minimum future value. This is the value of the car that the company will guarantee at the end of the agreement. This is the value you would pay should you decide to purchase the vehicle.

MRP is the manufacturer’s recommended price residual value meaning the value at the end of the agreement the manufacturer recommends. This can be a different value from the GMFV because it is from the manufacturer rather than the one you have guaranteed.

P11D Value is the value of the vehicle. It keeps the new price together with any of the extra costs such as the Inland Revenue which is for taxation purposes.

You have the PPM which is pence per mile, as yet another term in car hire jargon.
