Business Contract Hire with Fleet Intelligence
Business contract hire gives your organisation vehicles on a fixed monthly rental with no residual value risk. With Olaris, every BCH agreement includes access to Orbis — our fleet intelligence platform that delivers real-time visibility of your fleet from day one.
More Than a Monthly Payment
When you lease through Olaris, the monthly rental covers the vehicle. Orbis covers everything else:
Vehicle & Finance
- Access to all manufacturers through our multi-funder panel
- Fixed monthly rentals with no residual value risk
- Contract terms from 24 to 48 months
- Fully maintained or non-maintained options
- Fleet of 5 to 500+ vehicles
Fleet Intelligence (included)
- Connected vehicle data — real-time location, status, and usage
- DVLA licence checking — automated verification and compliance alerts
- MOT, service, and insurance tracking — never miss a renewal
- Cost-per-mile analysis — actual figures, not estimates
- Driver behaviour insights — identify risk and reduce costs
- Maintenance forecasting — plan your budget against real data
For Fully Maintained Contracts
Know what maintenance is likely before the dealer invoice arrives. Orbis analyses connected vehicle data, service history, and usage patterns to flag vehicles that are likely to need attention — giving you time to plan, not react.
For Non-Maintained Contracts
Plan your maintenance budget against real data instead of estimates and averages. Orbis tracks every vehicle's condition and usage, so you know what's coming and can budget accordingly.
How Business Contract Hire Works
Business contract hire is straightforward: your business hires vehicles for a fixed period at a fixed monthly rental. At the end of the contract, you hand the vehicles back. There's no balloon payment and no residual value risk — that sits with the funder.
What makes Olaris different is what happens between signing and handback. From the day the first vehicle is delivered, Orbis connects to the data and starts delivering insight. You don't wait for a software implementation or an integration project. It's already there.

Vehicles are delivered and automatically connected to Orbis.
You see your fleet in real time — compliance, costs, maintenance, and performance.
Built for Every Fleet Size
SME fleets (5–50 vehicles)
You've never had access to fleet intelligence because the software is priced for enterprise. With Olaris, it comes with your lease.
Growing businesses (50–200 vehicles)
You're at the point where spreadsheets aren't working anymore but a full fleet management platform feels like overkill. Orbis gives you the visibility you need without the overhead.
Established fleets (200+ vehicles)
You're probably paying for fleet management software separately, and it doesn't connect to your leasing data. With Olaris, the intelligence and the finance are the same relationship.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is business contract hire?
BCH is a vehicle leasing arrangement where a business hires vehicles for a fixed period at a fixed monthly rental. The business never owns the vehicles — at contract end, they're returned to the funder.
What's included in the monthly rental?
The rental covers the vehicle hire. With Olaris, it also includes access to Orbis fleet intelligence — real-time fleet visibility, DVLA compliance, maintenance forecasting, and cost analysis at no extra cost.
Can I include maintenance in the contract?
Yes. We offer both fully maintained and non-maintained options. Fully maintained includes servicing, tyres, and breakdown cover in the monthly rental.
What fleet sizes do you support?
From 5 vehicles to 500+. The Orbis platform scales to any fleet size.
Do I need to install any software?
No. Orbis connects to vehicle data automatically. There's no software to install, no integration project, and no IT resource required.
