We set out to offer something different from the rest of the industry. Here’s how we do it.

Cut through the noise
The automotive world is packed with terms and acronyms that can feel overwhelming for those not involved in the industry. At P+B, we believe in transparency. This guide is here to decode the jargon of vehicle leasing, putting you in the driver’s seat when making choices.
Fair Wear and Tear
Fair wear and tear refers to the condition of a car at the end of its finance agreement. If an individual has financed a car over 3 years whether that be contract hire or personal contract purchase, on return it does not need to be in ‘showroom’ condition, but must fall within the fair wear and tear guidelines.
P11D Value
This is the vehicle value needed for tax purposes with company vehicles. The P11D value takes into account the cost of the vehicle including any additional accessories, the first registration fee, first 12 monthly road fund licence, any delivery charges and VAT.
Road Fund License (RFL)
This can also be referred to as car tax of vehicle excise duty. The registered keeper of the vehicle is responsible for paying this. In a Personal contract hire and a business contract hire the funder is the registered keeper of the vehicle so they pay the road tax which is included in your monthly rental cost.
