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 half years, helping to drive Honda’s fleet business.

Honda said the partnership has given its fleet volumes a significant boost

The collaboration between Honda Finance, Honda UK, Arval and the Honda dealer network provides dealers with a competitive contract hire proposition, backed up by a dedicated Honda Contract Hire team from Arval to give dealer support and a national account management team.

According to Xavier Morgan, Honda contract hire manager at Honda Finance Europe, the deal is helping drive interest in contract hire for Honda’s business customers.

He commented: “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.”
