A van with a plan

Van leasing is where you pay a fixed monthly fee for the use of a van. The vehicle rental agreement is usually for 2, 3 or 4 years and once a contract is agreed upon, a one-off upfront fee is paid, followed by a series of regular monthly payments.

At Vanleasing.com we stock vans from every van manufacturer in the UK, giving an almost unlimited choice. Whether our customers need a medium sized van, a larger standard panel van, or something more specialist like a dropside or tipper we will be able to help. Our most popular manufacturers include but aren’t limited to; Ford, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Renault, Citroen, and Peugeot.

Standard contracts range between 24 and 60 months. It’s up to you to choose the length of time, but as a general rule the longer the contract the lower the monthly rental and vice versa. We also have our short-term leasing product which offers leasing terms ranging from 3 to 18 months and this works well for businesses who aren’t quite sure exactly how long they will need the van for.

Yes, we offer a short-term lease product with a minimum period of 3 months and a maximum of 18 months. The key thing about short-term van leasing is the flexibility that it offers. Often, businesses aren’t quite sure exactly how long they will need the van and would rather not enter into a long-term contract. Rather than having to use expensive daily rentals, this service offers the flexibility to replace your vehicles more regularly. You can find more about our short-term van leasing here.

An initial payment is an amount you pay upfront and this is then taken off the total cost of the lease. The payment will depend on how much you are able to pay, usually, it’s anywhere from 3 to 9 months worth of payments. Like all lease agreements, the more you are able to pay upfront, the less the monthly payments will be.

It’s your responsibility to get your own van insurance sorted, and this needs to be on a fully comprehensive basis. When that’s done, you just need to send us a copy of the certificate prior to the vehicle delivery date.

It’s written in vehicle insurance law that your vehicle must be kept insured at all times. As well as being a legal requirement it’s also up to you to keep your vehicle insured on a fully comprehensive motor policy during the period of your agreement with us.

Only under exceptional circumstances. One of the best bits about long-term van hire is that you can keep the same van for the duration of your lease. We know that vehicle swaps can be a huge inconvenience and if you decide to extend your lease, you’ll simply carry on using the same van.

We provide maintained and non-maintained packages so this one is up to you. Some people like the comfort of knowing maintenance is covered, whereas others take the view that a new van might be more reliable and so just sort this out themselves. Either way, we will help you look at the total cost to work out if maintaining is worth it for peace of mind, or if you’re better just doing this yourself.

When you lease a van, there are criteria that you have to meet. This will involve looking at the bank account and director’s information, so can be a concern for businesses that have very little or nothing to show in terms of revenue. All businesses, new or existing will be asked to share their business details, owner details, and bank details along with a full UK driving licence. 

For a start-up business, it’s likely you’ll be asked to provide further information such as a few months of business bank statements, and draft company accounts.

Not really. When we are going through your requirements you will stipulate your mileage requirements, and we then build a contract around that. Generally, this starts at 8ooo miles per annum going up to around 35,000 miles. If you think you need more than that we can still help you but the process might take a little longer.

The delivery time is dependent on stock. Luckily we have access to a large number of makes and models, so if it’s in stock you could have your new van delivered to you within two weeks. If we don’t have your chosen van in stock and we need to order it, then delivery is a bit longer. If that’s the case we will let you know a delivery date when we’re going through your requirements with you.

I’m afraid it’s not possible to test drive the van first. We’ve got lots of information on our website about all makes and models, which should help!

We understand that your circumstances could change during the lease period therefore it is possible to end your contract. Ending your contract early will mean a charge will be incurred and that charge will be worked out based on how long you have left on your contract. Remember though, If you’re finding it difficult to pay the monthly leasing charge, speak to us, as there may be things we can do to help – like extending the contract which could lower monthly payments.

Of course you can. In fact, we recommend you do! One way of demonstrating your expertise and increasing sales is through the use of advertisements. Why not advertise while you are on the move?
