ZenAuto, the personal car leasing division of Zenith, is to start offering used cars on personal contract hire (PCH).  

John Tracy, CEO of ZenAuto UK

Rapid growth over the last 18 months means the division now has more than 8,000 cars on the road, all funded inhouse. The move into used cars will expand its services further, providing drivers with a cost-effective way to drive a used vehicle.

Vehicles will come from ZenAuto’s end-of-term fleet and will be refurbished and imaged before they are made available for consumers.

Each will be accompanied with a seven-day, no-quibble return policy, along with a 90-day guarantee and 128-point independent AA inspection.

The service will cover all car categories and will give consumers access to a wide range of vehicles and price points.

John Tracy, CEO of ZenAuto UK, said: “Consumers are increasingly confident in making large purchases online, and our research shows they are comfortable leasing high-quality used vehicles.”

He added: “The launch of used PCH is the next step in our mission to be a leading online mobility provider.

“ZenAuto has grown quickly by offering great value and a level of service that sets it apart. The launch of used PCH opens up a new market and gives consumers even greater choice.”

Customers will also benefit from a UK-based customer service team, instant quotes and the opportunity to fully specify a car or order one from stock with delivery in a matter of weeks.
