For businesses covering high (or unknown) annual mileage, a traditional contract hire agreement is not always the right fit. Fleetsauce unlimited mileage leasing offers a more flexible alternative for customers who want to use their vehicle without mileage penalties and without the usual end-of-lease inspection process associated with BVRLA return standards.
Because the vehicle is not returned under a standard contract hire model, there are no BVRLA end-of-lease inspections to worry about. This makes it a practical option for businesses whose vehicles work hard and may not suit agreements built around mileage caps and return-condition rules.
The agreement also offers more flexibility during and at the end of the contract. If the vehicle is no longer required, the contract can be ended at any time by settling the outstanding balance. The vehicle would then need to be sold, and the settlement paid from the sale proceeds.
At the end of the contract, there is no final vehicle return payment to make. Instead, the vehicle is sold and the proceeds are used to clear the settlement. Any value remaining after settlement, less a 2% fee, is retained by the customer. This gives businesses more control over the vehicle’s value and a clearer route at contract end.
For companies with high-mileage drivers, field-based teams or vehicles in constant daily use, this can be a smart way to fund cars and vans while avoiding mileage restrictions and traditional return-condition concerns.

Ideal for high-mileage business use
One of the advantages of unlimited mileage vehicle leasing is the freedom it gives your business — no mileage caps, no return-condition anxiety, and no excess charges. But high-mileage vehicles need to be properly maintained, and managing that in-house can add time, cost and administration pressure that most businesses would rather avoid.
That's why Fleetsauce offers an optional pay-as-you-go maintenance service alongside your unlimited mileage lease.
Unlike a fixed monthly maintenance package, there is no ongoing fee to pay. You simply use the service when you need it — whether that's a routine service, an MOT, tyres or a repair — and only pay for the work that is actually carried out.
For businesses running high-mileage vehicles, keeping on top of servicing is not just good practice — it is essential for driver safety, vehicle reliability and compliance. The pay-as-you-go model means you stay in control of maintenance costs without committing to a fixed monthly outlay on every vehicle.
It is a straightforward add-on that works particularly well for field-based teams, companies with variable fleets, or any business that wants the flexibility of unlimited mileage leasing without taking on the burden of managing vehicle maintenance independently.
