Why Chauffeur Operators Choose Ethos

Established in 2007, Ethos is an independently owned UK credit broker with experience in chauffeur and executive vehicle finance.

We understand that funding a working vehicle involves more than its purchase price. Your annual mileage, available contribution, existing commitments and plans to replace or expand your fleet all help shape the conversation.

Still deciding between a new and used vehicle? Purchase price is only part of the comparison. Availability, specification, service history and the mileage you expect to cover can all affect which vehicle suits your business. Read our guide to comparing new and used chauffeur vehicles.

You can also browse vehicles advertised through the Ethos network on behalf of clients and suppliers. Ethos is the finance broker and advertiser, not the vehicle seller.

Ways To Finance Your Chauffeur Vehicle

The starting point is how you plan to use, fund and eventually replace the vehicle. Available arrangements depend on your circumstances and the lender’s criteria.

Spread the cost over an agreed term. Ownership transfers to you once all required payments and any option-to-purchase fee have been paid.

Part of the cost may be deferred to a larger final payment. This can reduce regular repayments compared with an otherwise equivalent arrangement without that deferral. You remain responsible for settling the final balance, so it needs to be included in your plans.


Understanding The Full Commitment

Consider the deposit, regular repayments, interest and charges, total amount payable and any final payment. Our team will explain the relevant terms of any offer, including conditions relating to the vehicle and its use.

Ethos is an FCA-authorised and regulated credit broker, not a lender.
