The perfect business package: Citroen wins best finance and service award thanks to its comprehensive range of service deals and SME tailored business car lease programmes delivered through Citroen Contract Motoring

 

CITROEN has won the ‘Best Finance and Service Package for SMEs’ category in the Business Car Manager SME Company Car of the Year Awards 2012, run in association with MAGMA Automotive Services.

Citroen’s fixed price servicing packages, and consistently competitive finance packages through Citroen Contract Motoring give them the edge in this category. 

Business Car Manager – the only dedicated business motoring website for small and medium enterprise (SME) businesses – launched the SME Company Car of the Year awards to establish benchmarks for SME businesses.

And when it comes to the company providing the Best Finance and Service Package for SMEs, then take a look at Citroen.

The judges felt that Citroen provided the most compelling and comprehensive finance and service offer to the SME market.

This is what they had to say:

“Citroen is one of the oldest and more adroit players among  the ‘old hands’ in the viciously price-sensitive, lower sectors of the UK business car market – and it shows in its waterfront-covering and well-honed service support and multi-faceted finance packages.  Full marks for the prompt DS sub-brand back-up, too,” they said.


For starters, there’s Citroen’s expanding DS premium sub-brand  which currently includes a complimentary 3 year Servicing and Assistance Package, which is available at no cost for all new DS3, DS4 and DS5 models. 
So what makes Citroen so good?

It’s not just the posh DS models that get the all-star Citroen treatment, though. All Citroen dealers can offer a similar Fixed Price 3 year Servicing and Assistance Package on on other new Citroen cars, although in this case there is an additional cost.

For high mileage company car drivers, this package can be further extended up to 4 years or 150,000 mile Service Packages, at competitive prices.

And there’s Citroen’s long-standing business car lease provision through Citroen Contract Motoring (CCM).

This has always been an SME-friendly source of vehicle funding and continues to grow its business in this sector.

This growth reflects the increasingly expert provision of funding  advice at Citroen Business Centres and Citroen dealers, matching the operational requirements of SMEs with the optimum Citroen Contract Motoring financial product to meet an SME’s cash flow and taxation situation.

The judges summed up Citroen’s offering like this.

“Citroen’s fixed price servicing packages, and consistently competitive finance packages through Citroen Contract Motoring give them the edge in this category.  The DS maintenance offering, in particular, deserves special mention.”
