NHS Fleet Solutions vs National Vehicle Solutions Which is Right for You?
In today’s fast-paced world, leasing a car is often a smarter, more flexible alternative to buying. But with a sea of choices out there, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed—especially when comparing specialist schemes like NHS Car Leasing to traditional leasing brokers like National Vehicle Solutions.
While both offer access to brand-new vehicles with fixed monthly payments, the way they operate—and the benefits they bring—are quite different. Whether you're an NHS worker exploring your options or simply looking to get the best value on your next car, understanding these differences is key to making the right choice.

NHS Fleet Solutions
What is NHS Car Leasing?
NHS Car Leasing is a salary sacrifice scheme available to NHS staff. It allows employees to lease a vehicle directly through their employer, with the cost deducted before tax and National Insurance—potentially leading to some savings.
Key features:
-
Salary sacrifice: Lease cost taken from your gross salary.
-
Inclusive packages: Most deals include insurance, maintenance, servicing, and road tax.
-
Easy budgeting: One monthly deduction covers nearly everything.
However...
-
You’re tied to your employer. If you leave the NHS, your lease may be affected or terminated.
-
There’s limited flexibility. You may have fewer car options and can’t negotiate on deals.
-
You’re personally liable for early termination fees if your circumstances change.
What is National Vehicle Solutions?
National Vehicle Solutions is a leading independent car leasing broker. We work with a wide network of funders and dealers to bring you the sharpest, most competitive lease deals across a huge range of brands—from Audi to Volkswagen and everything in between.
Key benefits:
-
Wider choice: You're not restricted to one scheme or brand—choose from thousands of cars.
-
Competitive pricing: Brokers often have access to exclusive stock deals and discounts.
-
Flexible terms: Personal and business leasing, tailored mileage and contract lengths.
-
No employer involvement: You’re in full control—ideal if you change jobs or circumstances.
Unlike salary sacrifice schemes, you're not limited to pre-bundled packages. Want to add maintenance? No problem. Prefer to arrange your own insurance? You can. It’s leasing, your way.
Which Option is Right for You?
If you're an NHS employee who prefers simplicity and wants everything bundled together, NHS Car Leasing might appeal. But if choice, control, and value for money are top of your list, leasing through National Vehicle Solutions often gives you the upper hand—especially when you want the freedom to switch jobs, change your lease terms, or simply shop around for the best possible price.
What our customers say...
Guy Kendall Just received my third car on personal lease via NVS, and again the service was impeccable
Just received my third car on personal lease via NVS, and again the service was impeccable. Pricing on my BMW M2 Competition was highly competitive, all my questions were answered incredibly fast and communication around delivery was excellent. I can’t recommend this company enough.
Leased a BMW M2
Excellent service. They responded to my queries in a fast and efficient manner and even informed me of a price reduction coming into effect on a vehicle I was interested in. They offered a better price than the big comparison sites. Very good.
Leased a Skoda Elroq
I have been extremely satisfied with my dealings with NVS from start to finish. Lynn was excellent - keeping me informed from the beginning right up until I received my new vehicle. I will definitely use NVS again and recommend them to anyone looking to lease a vehicle.
