It’s our job to make sure you have access to the best van deals for your business. Van leasing deals are not one size fit all; the best van deal for you will depend on your industry, and how you plan to use your van.
Business vehicle leasing is a great choice, whether you have a large or a small business. Even better, we have access to a number of specialist vehicles – meaning we can source the best van deals, no matter your industry!
If you’re a small business and you’re looking for cheap business vehicle leasing, you should look into small vans. Small vans come with a smaller price tag, so you’ll be making great savings on your monthly lease payments.
Many small vans have amazing features such as a load-through bulkhead, meaning you can carry much longer loads than you’d think! Often designed for city driving, these small vans get great MPG, have useful Stop/Start for traffic, and offer Side Sliding doors for curb side access. If you have a small business and you’re looking into the best van deals for you, then consider whether a small van lease would suit your business. Check out the features on the Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner and Renault Kangoo!
If you work as a Courier or your business offers delivery then your vehicle lease will need to include high mileage, and your vehicle will need a larger payload.
To get the best van deals for you, speak to our Vehicle Experts about high mileage contracts. There are several finance types and each treats mileage differently. It may be that the best option for you is a high mileage Contract Hire agreement, where you hand back the vehicle at the end of your agreement. However, Contract Hire agreements come with strict excess mileage charges – so you should be certain you won’t exceed the mileage agreed in your contract. Finance Lease, however, won’t charge you fees if you go over your agreed mileage. But be aware that your vehicle could be worth less than expected at the end of the agreement if you massively exceed the quoted mileage in your finance deal.
Payload refers to how much weight your new van can carry. This is important if you are looking to carry large loads of deliveries. Look into the payload of the vehicles you’re looking to lease to make sure your new van will be fit for purpose. The Citroen Dispatch and Peugeot Expert offer great payloads for medium size vans, and the Renault Master is worth checking out if you’re looking for a large van.
Leasing is a great way to make specialist vehicles such as Tippers or Lutons much more affordable. But how do you make sure you’re getting the best van deals? Well, the first step is to do your research and ensure you have the best possible vehicle for the job.
If you need to carry a lot of weight, ensure the vehicle has a good payload. Maybe look into FWD and RWD options and weigh up which is more suitable for purpose. You can even discuss your needs with our Vehicle Experts and they can talk you through the most practical options on the market.
If your vehicle will mostly be used on site – then you’re unlikely to need a high mileage contract. However, it is likely that the vehicle will be damaged through use, beyond what most Finance Companies call ‘Fair Wear and Tear’. In which case, make sure you go for a van deal that won’t charge excess damage fees at the end of the lease.
We’ve walked you through how to make sure you’re getting the best van deals for your industry. The key here is to make sure you’ve researched suitable vehicles or talked it through with one of our Vehicle Experts. It’s also important to detail exactly how you plan to use your new vehicle, this way our Experts can tailor a finance agreement to you and your business and get you the best van deal possible!
