Renault contract hire and car leasing

About Renault

Renault is one of three major French car makers, along with Peugeot and Citroen, and is currently the biggest seller worldwide out of the three as part of the Renault-Nissan alliance.

Renault sells cars in 118 countries worldwide and enjoys an 8.2 per cent Western European market share thanks to the success of the Twingo, Clio and Megane family of cars.

The brand became part of the first French-Japanese alliance when it signed a deal with Nissan in 1999 to share its diesel technology in exchange for expertise in petrol engines.

Together the Renault-Nissan Alliance is the third largest automaker in the world with a market share of nine per cent.

Renault has its roots in motor racing, where the brand enjoyed significant success before moving into road car production in the early twentieth century.

As such, Renault has a strong racing pedigree and has released several race-inspired special editions of current models under the Renaultsport badge. Renault also enters a team into Formula One.

With Japanese-engineered powertrains and a leap forward in both quality and specification in recent years, Renault has enjoyed success as a reliable supplier of contract hire and leasing cars.

With a new product offensive based around the six-strong Megane family, Renault has ambitions to become the most profitable manufacturer in Europe, an accolade it already holds for its LV operations.

About Renault Contract Hire

Business and fleet users have a choice of over twenty Renault models and body styles in several different mainstream and niche sectors.

The Renault Twingo city car will appeal to more traditional city-based fleet operators, while the Renault Clio supermini is a stylish small car available in three- or five-door variations.

Both models are efficient, comfortable and - with a range of low-CO2 engines - are ideal for saving money on company car tax.

Renault's best-selling model range, the Megane, is available in three- or five-door, Coupe, Coupe-Cabriolet, ST and RenaultSport body derivatives. A popular choice with business users, the Megane is one of Renault’s most popular models among fleet users.

Moving up the range, the Renault Laguna, in saloon, hatchback and estate versions, is popular with business users looking for a smooth, comfortable ride and a high-quality feel to the cabin.

The Renault Modus and more spacious Grand Modus offer supermini-like handling in a compact MPV package capable of accommodating more passengers or luggage than a smaller car.

Alternatively, the larger five-seat Renault Scenic and seven-seat Grand Scenic MPVs are inexpensive to buy and run, thanks to the range of efficient diesel engines.

At the top of the people carrier range, the Renault Espace and Renault Grand Espace are class leaders in terms of space, practicality and comfort.

The Renault Koleos offers all the versatility of an SUV crossover with the option of two- or four-wheel drive and the van-based Renault Kangoo comes with boxy dimensions for increased load space.

Finally, the Renault Wind roadster is a sporty two-seat drop-top, available as a more stylish option for leasing customers.

Renault is a leader in low-CO2 technology and the eco2 signature can be found on all models delivering CO2 emissions below 140g/km.

The range of efficient petrol and diesel engines offered with Renault contract hire cars are designed to reduce company car tax and fuel costs, establishing Renault as one of the more popular fleet and business suppliers.
