Hybrids use a mix of electric and petrol or diesel to power your journey. If you charge regularly and stay within the battery range, you'll need to spend less time topping up the fuel tank.
As hybrid cars use some electric power during driving, emissions at the tailpipe are lower compared to conventional vehicles. If you use your car within the range each day, this lowers the emissions further or keeps your car emissions-free, helping the environment even more.
If you're considering switching to electric, the government have grants available to make the transition affordable. For example, the plug-in car grant gives you up to £1500 off your hybrid lease deal (depending on vehicle eligibility).
As hybrids use both electric and fuel, you don't need to worry when the electricity runs out. When this happens, the car automatically switches to fuel until the next charge.
When your hybrid vehicle is in electric mode, the ride is quiet, smooth and comfortable. Modern cars also have a variety of infotainment and driver assist systems for a relaxing ride.
We have a variety of hybrid cars deals from over 30 manufacturers, including Toyota, Cupra and Volvo - suitable for all budgets. So whether you're looking for a sleek saloon for motorway miles or a city run-around for shorter journeys, hybrid vehicles are a great business lease option.

A hybrid car or HEV is powered by a combustion engine and electric motor. These two elements work together or independently, depending on the model. This car is also known as a self-charging or full hybrid, as you do not plug it in to charge the battery.
The power from the electric motor is typically used to enhance the performance of the car. It charges uses regenerative braking, and this feeds back to the batteries.
If a hybrid is travelling at slower speeds or very short distances of 1-2 miles, the car may solely switch to electric for a short time. However, the batteries in a self-charging hybrid are small, so there is no specified range.

Businesses can also benefit from the many advantages of electric leasing.
All company car drivers pay Benefit in Kind (BiK) tax. The rate payable depends on your vehicle’s emissions. Currently, electric cars sit in the 2% tax bracket, as they have zero emissions, so you’ll only incur low Benefit in Kind tax charges if you choose a green vehicle lease deal.
Road tax, or as it’s otherwise known, Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), can be a costly expense for company car drivers. However, the road tax rate you pay is based on emissions. So the benefit of choosing an electric car is that they’re exempt from this cost.
To help your business make the switch to an electric fleet, eligible companies can apply for the Workplace Charging Scheme. This government grant covers the cost of purchasing and installing up to 40 EV charge points at your premises. With more access to electric charge points, employees and fleet drivers can benefit from greener driving.
With lower running costs, less maintenance and EV charge point grants available, making your business more eco-conscious couldn’t be easier. There are numerous benefits from tax savings, affordable monthly payments and no depreciation costs. Plus, you have a choice of stylish and comfortable models suitable for business needs.
