Orders
An order of a vehicle from the LVC Central Ltd website is an expression of interest by you to obtain the vehicle ordered at a price similar to that advertised.
An order does not create a contract between you and LVC Central Ltd to purchase, hire or lease a vehicle. For there to be a contract between you and LVC Central Ltd to purchase, hire or lease a vehicle, LVC Central Ltd must locate a vehicle matching the specification you require, at a price agreed between you and ourselves. You must enter into a finance agreement with a finance company. For the avoidance of any doubt, there is no contract to purchase, hire or lease a vehicle between you and LVC Central Ltd until the finance agreement is signed by you and the finance company and it becomes executed/operational.
In the unlikely event that the vehicle you have ordered is not available or the funder makes a change to the rental, we will contact you by email or telephone to confirm with you whether you wish to proceed with your order or to provide you with possible alternatives. If the alternative is not acceptable by you, we will cancel your order without penalty and refund any monies paid.
We may introduce you to our carefully selected panel of finance providers who may then pay us for the introduction. We will not refer you outside of this panel.
Following an accepted order, we will carry out a credit check on you as part of your application process. If you are applying on behalf of a limited company, you are confirming you have authority to authorise a credit search in the name of the Company and each Director.
For regulated credit broking agreements that have been concluded without any face-to-face dealings (i.e. over the phone, internet etc.) you have the right to cancel the contract without penalty and without giving any reason within 14 calendar days in accordance with the Distance Marketing Directive.
The 14 calendar day cancellation period begins from the day you “accept” our quotation, Terms & Conditions and IDD document. This legal right applies equally to all personal customers, sole traders and partnerships with up to four partners.

Delivery / Registration
Upon receipt of a correctly completed and signed finance agreement; payment of any deposit, and if applicable payment of any balance of monies we shall arrange delivery of the vehicle to your chosen destination.
Please note that the monthly rental/lease price includes the cost of driving the vehicle to your specified address, provided your address is situated on the UK mainland. Certain delivery locations may incur an additional delivery charge and we reserve the right to recover this charge from you. However, we will advise you if there is an additional delivery charge prior to you completing the finance documentation. If you require Vehicle Transported Delivery (the vehicle is delivered on a trailer/transporter) this can be arranged but an additional charge will be made.
Quoted delivery “lead times” represents our “best estimate” based on information provided by our brand supplier and do not constitute an obligation to supply the vehicle in the time specified. Whilst we endeavour to ensure that delivery dates are as accurate as possible, delivery dates are subject to change by the manufacturer and on occasion delays do occur due to production issues. We shall keep you informed of any known changes to your vehicle’s delivery date to allow you to make any necessary arrangements as a consequence. LVC Central Ltd has no control or influence over manufacturer lead times and will not accept any responsibility for any losses or inconvenience caused because of a delay from the manufacturer.
Depending on funder the statutory cooling off period observed by some finance companies applies, and vehicles will not be delivered until the ‘cooling off’ period has expired.
Proof of insurance is required before delivery can take place. Please note that the hirer obtaining finance must be the main policy holder or a named driver on the insurance certificate.
Excess Mileage
Certain finance agreements have an excess mileage charge. This is expressed as PPM (Pence Per Mile) and is charged when your vehicle exceeds the agreed mileage over the total contract term. Some contracts allow you to travel over your agreed mileage amount only charging you the PPM amount stated on your order form, however other contracts will only allow you to travel up to a pre-determined amount before a higher excess mileage charge is applied. Please refer to your contract for full details on excess mileage charges and how this cost may affect you.
Car Accessories
We reserve the right to refuse installation of an accessory or to offer an alternative if in the sole opinion of LVC Central Ltd the product is not suitable for installation on the specified vehicle.
We reserve the right to remove accessories from the order and offer a full refund of any specified accessories which are removed, if it is discovered that the goods are unavailable and/or in the sole opinion of LVC Central Ltd are unsuitable for fixing to the vehicle.
Please note that the removal/non fitment of non-dealer fitted accessories does not entitle you to cancel any finance or lease agreement you have already entered into.
De-Hire Damage
Note that handing leased or contract hire vehicles back to the funder at the end of a contract with unrepaired damage can incur charges, known as de-hire or end of lease charges, details of which can be provided on request.
Special Offers
We reserves the right to withdraw or amend “Special Offers” at any time.
