What are the Benefits of Van Leasing?

Leasing a brand new van with Vansdirect gives you the flexible financial freedom to drive the van you want without any surprise fees or hidden costs. Our affordable monthly lease rentals are typically lower than hire purchase and are fixed for the contract length to ensure you know exactly what you'll be paying and when, helping your business manage its cash flow effectively.

Business van leasing is ideal for those looking to make savings and manage their expense budget. Leasing a van through your business means recoverable VAT and corporation tax benefits - your business can claim lease payments as an allowable expense. There are none of the sizeable upfront costs that come with buying a brand new van outright, and there is no depreciation risk as the van will be returned at the end of the lease agreement. This makes van leasing particularly attractive for small companies, sole traders, and self-employed individuals just starting out.

Additional benefits include:

  • No depreciation risk: The van will be returned at the end of your lease agreement, so your business will not have to worry about the vehicle losing value.
  • Road tax: For Business Contract Hire (BCH) agreements, road tax is included in your monthly rental as standard with no additional costs. For finance lease agreements, road tax inclusion may vary depending on the funder - our customer service team will always confirm exactly what is included before you commit to a lease agreement.
  • Warranty coverage: Brand new vans come with full manufacturer warranty, so you do not have to worry about unexpected repair costs.
  • Breakdown cover: Optional breakdown cover can be included in your lease contracts for added peace of mind.
  • Van insurance: Our team can point you in the right direction for competitive van insurance options.
  • Upgrade to newer models: At the end of your month contract, you can choose to upgrade to a cutting-edge new model with the latest Euro 6 technology.
  • Fixed for the term: Monthly lease rentals are fixed for the contract length, making budgeting and cash flow management straightforward.
  • Good credit options: We work with a lender network to find the best deal for businesses with good credit scores.
  • No hidden fees: Our lease agreements are transparent with no hidden costs.

    FAQs

    What Is Van Leasing?

    Van leasing also referred to as vehicle leasing or contract hire, is a business lease arrangement where you pay a fixed monthly fee whilst driving your brand new van, much like renting. It is suitable for sole traders, self-employed individuals, and established companies looking to manage their cash flow and expense budgets effectively.

    You'll pay an initial payment (initial rental) at the beginning of the lease before going on to pay a fixed monthly rental for the duration of your lease agreement. The cost of the monthly payments will be determined by the contract length, with longer term contracts reducing the monthly cost.

    All our lease agreements are for business use only. We do not offer personal contract hire or personal use leasing - our lease contracts are exclusively for business customers including sole traders and self-employed individuals.

    Why Is Mileage Important To My Van Lease?

    An estimate of your annual mileage is used to calculate your monthly payments based against the estimated residual value of the vehicle at the end of the contract.

    If you go over your agreed mileage, excess mileage charges will apply at the end of your lease agreement. These are based on a pence per mile rate agreed at the start of your contract. It is important to set a realistic annual mileage at the outset - our customer service team will help you find the right mileage allowance for your business needs. If you think you may go over your agreed mileage during the lease, please speak to our team as soon as possible.

    What Are The Taxable Benefits Of Van Leasing?

    If your business is VAT registered, you can reclaim all VAT paid on a light commercial vehicle lease as a taxable benefit. Your business can also claim lease payments as an allowable business expense, reducing your corporation tax liability. Road tax is typically included in your lease agreement, and there are no depreciation risks as the leased van will be returned at the end of the contract.

    For sole traders and self-employed individuals, lease payments may also be offset against income tax. We recommend speaking to an accountant for specific tax advice based on your business circumstances.

    Can I Lease a Van as a Sole Trader or Self-Employed Individual?

    Yes, our business lease agreements are available to sole traders and self-employed individuals, not just limited companies. You will need to provide proof of your business registration number or self-employment status, a valid driving licence, and be subject to credit checks. A good credit score will help ensure you can access the best lease deals and best rates available. Our team will guide you through the process - feel free to get in touch for a chat.

    What Happens at the End of My Lease Agreement?

    At the end of your lease agreement, the van will need to be returned in a condition consistent with fair wear and tear guidelines. The vehicle must be returned within the agreed annual mileage limit to avoid excess mileage charges. If you have looked after the leased van well and kept it in good condition, there will not be any additional charges to worry about.

    At the end of your contract, you can choose to:

  • Return the van and upgrade to a brand new model
  • Extend your existing lease agreement (subject to availability)
  • Take out a new lease agreement on a different model
  • For finance lease agreements, there may be a secondary rental period or balloon payment option available. Our team will be happy to explain all end-of-lease options based on your specific lease agreement and contract length.

    What Credit Checks Are Required?

    All of our lease agreements are subject to credit checks carried out by our finance company network and lender partners. A good credit score will help you access the best lease deals and most competitive rates. If you are concerned about your credit score, speak to our customer service team who will be happy to discuss your options. We work with a lender network to find the right finance solution for businesses with varying credit profiles.

    What Driving License do I need?

    All drivers of leased vans will need to hold a valid driving licence appropriate for the vehicle. Standard light commercial vehicles and vans up to 3.5 tonnes can be driven on a standard car driving licence. For larger vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, an appropriate licence category will be required. Please speak to our team to find out more.

    What Is a Finance Lease?

    A finance lease is a type of lease agreement where your business has the option of a balloon payment at the end of the contract, allowing you to either purchase the van or arrange a secondary rental period. Unlike contract hire, a finance lease may appear on your business balance sheet. It can be a good option for businesses that want the flexibility of a balloon payment option at the end of the lease agreement. Find out more by speaking to our customer service team.

    Can I Extend My Lease Early or Upgrade?

    Yes, in many cases it is possible to upgrade to a newer model before your current lease agreement ends. This will be subject to the terms and conditions of your existing lease contracts and may result in additional fees. Our team will be happy to discuss your options - speak to a member of our customer service team for a chat about upgrading to a cutting-edge new model.

    Is Van Insurance Included?

    Van insurance is not included in your lease agreement as standard, but you will need to arrange appropriate van insurance before you can drive a leased van. We can point you in the right direction for competitive van insurance options. Optional gap insurance is also available to protect your business in the event of a total loss. Breakdown cover can also be included in your lease contracts for an additional cost.

    What Body Styles and Configurations Are Available?

    There are a wide range of body styles and configurations available across our range of light commercial vehicles, including:

  • Standard panel van
  • Long panel van
  • High roof panel van
  • Crew van
