Van Leasing

Van leasing lets you rent a single van or an entire fleet for a fixed period, usually between 2-4 years. You pay an initial rental fee then make fixed monthly payments until your contract ends. Then, you return the van(s) to the leasing company. Read more in our van leasing guide

Popular benefits of van leasing include driving the latest van(s) every 2-4 years, low monthly payments, a manufacturer’s warranty, fewer maintenance costs, tax advantages and no expensive upfront costs.

Leasing also lets you pay smaller, fixed payments each month for a set time, but you won’t own the van.

Whether it’s better to buy or lease a van will depend on your circumstances and finances. Buying means you’ll own the van, but you’ll need to pay the full cost upfront. Leasing lets you pay smaller, fixed payments each month for a set time, but you won’t own the van.

All our van leases are intended for business customers. Whether you are self-employed and need one van or you own a company and require a full fleet, business van leasing is an affordable option, with fixed payments and no large initial outlay.

VAT-registered businesses can reclaim 50% of the VAT on their monthly lease payments, or 100% if the van is just used for work or as a pool van. You can also claim a van lease and fuel as business expenses on your tax return.
