Short term van lease
Short term leasing gives businesses a flexible solution when they need a van quickly and for a limited period. Less risk than a long contract, less cost than daily hire, and no commitment beyond the term you actually need.
The basics
Who benefits
Test what the business actually needs before committing to a four-year contract, and change vehicle when the answer turns out to be different.
Put a van on the job for the length of the contract, then hand it back rather than carrying it between projects.
Scale the fleet up for the busy months, without paying for vehicles that sit idle in January.
Bridge the gap when a factory order runs long or a vehicle is off the road, and keep the work moving.

What you get from a term measured in days rather than years.
Short term vehicles come from stock, so you are typically on the road within a week rather than waiting on a factory build.
The agreement ends when the work does. Nothing to sell on, and no contract running years past the job.
One monthly figure for the term, which is easier to price into a project than an open-ended daily hire rate.
Even on a short contract you can brand the van, so long as decals are applied and removed properly before it goes back.

There is plenty you can do to make the van your own. Even though it’s a short term contract, you can still sign-write and get your all-important brand displayed on the van; all we ask is that any graphics and livery are removed before you return the vehicle at the end of the lease.
