What are the benefits of buying a small van?
Unsure whether buying a small van suits your working requirements? Take a look at all the benefits of driving a new small van, below:
Cheaper to run: Due to having smaller engines, small vans consume less fuel, compared to
medium vans or
large vans. This means you don't have to pay as much at the pumps on a week-to-week basis, saving money for you and your business. Thanks to modern technology, petrol, Diesel, and hybrid options offer excellent fuel economy.
Lower carbon emissions: As new small vans consume less fuel whilst driving, they produce fewer carbon emissions overall, upping the eco-credentials of your business. There are also plenty of small electric panel vans and
all-electric models on offer, including the
Renault Kangoo E-Tech, if you want to make the switch to zero emissions.
Great for city centre driving: Small vans and compact vans are much more agile on the road, making light work of the tight winding roads in busy towns and cities, and are also easier to park. Perfect for courier services! Their compact dimensions make them ideal for urban deliveries.
Tax advantages: Typically, new small vans are easier and cheaper to maintain than other van sizes. This not only means that you enjoy lower mechanic bills, but your small van will also spend less time getting repaired, so you can get back to driving even sooner.
Excellent load space: Typically, new small vans are easier and cheaper to maintain than other van sizes. This not only means that you enjoy lower mechanic bills, but your small van will also spend less time getting repaired, so you can get back to driving even sooner.
How much does it cost to finance a small van?
With van leasing, you have the financial freedom to choose the terms of your small van finance, helping you tailor the payments to your budget and business needs.
You'll start by choosing the size of your initial payment (initial rental fee) and then deciding how long you'd like your contract to run - typically between two to five years (we offer flexible contract hire terms including five-year agreements). Then, it's just a case of sorting the finer details, such as annual mileage cap set by your usage requirements, and we will calculate your monthly cost.
Finance Options Available
Contract Hire: Lease a van with fixed monthly payments and the flexibility to upgrade at the end of the term.
Hire Purchase: Spread the cost and own the van outright at the end of the agreement.
