An ongoing partnership between Honda Finance Europe and vehicle leasing specialist Arval has put more than 5,000 cars on the road in two-and-a-half years.

The collaborative effort between Honda Finance, Honda UK, Arval and the Honda dealer network is aimed around supporting the manufacturer’s fleet sales, as well as providing the Honda dealer network with a competitive contract hire proposition.

Xavier Morgan, Honda contract hire manager at Honda Finance Europe, said: “Through our work with Arval, we are noticing a trend for more business customers to opt for monthly rentals deals, with a complete package of aftercare looked after by their local dealer.

“Business customers are increasingly trusting Honda to look after all of their fleet needs, which is securing additional aftersales work for the Honda network.”

Arval supports the partnership with a dedicated Honda Contract Hire team, providing dealer support and a national account management team.

This involves taking care of initial contract hire orders through to delivery of the car via the Honda dealer network.

The team also then manages the customer experience through to renewal.
