The business car lease programme, which is part of MINI Business Partnership, has hatched a plan offering a MINI Cooper D Hatch from just £179 a month (plus deposit).
The business car lease is based on a 36-month BMW Corporate Finance agreement, with a deposit of £1,074 followed by 35 monthly rentals of £179. The terms include Basic Bluetooth with USB connection.
All the car leasing agreements are based on a contract mileage of 30,000 miles. There is a mileage charge in excess of contract mileage 4.58 pence per mile and vehicle condition charges could apply at the end of the agreement. A comprehensive service, maintenance and repair package is available from £17. The figures exclude VAT.
The MINI Cooper D Hatch produces 110hp and has a 0-62mph time of 9.7 seconds. Combined fuel consumption is 74.3mpg , so operating costs will be low, and CO2 emissions are 99g/km. Benefit in Kind company car tax is 13% / £36 for 20% tax payers and 13% / £72 for 40% payers.
Small businesses with a fleet of fewer than 50 company cars can benefit from the MINI Business Partnership. The scheme offers a dedicated Local Business Manager to lead you through the range of models, legislation, driver requirements and vehicle specifications, to help you select the most cost-effective package for your business.
There are special equipment upgrades as part of the business car leasing MINI Business Partnership scheme, as well, to make company car management easier for small businesses and SMEs.
