Crew Cab Vans

Van leasing can be a good option in many situations, especially for businesses or drivers who want to keep upfront costs low, access a new model, and pay a fixed monthly rental. It also removes concerns about vehicle depreciation.

However, if you expect to exceed mileage limits or want to own the vehicle for a very long time, leasing may not be the best choice. If you’d like to find out whether van leasing is right for you, get in touch, and we’ll guide you through your options.

With Contract Hire, you essentially pay for the depreciation of a vehicle and then hand it back at the end of the agreement. The rentals are usually shown in the following format: 3 + 35.

This example means an initial rental equivalent to 3 months, followed by 35 monthly rentals. You can choose the term that best suits you and tailor the contract to suit your needs.

At the end of your lease agreement, you simply arrange for the finance company to collect the vehicle and hand it back. The van will be inspected to ensure it’s in good condition and in line with the BVRLA fair wear and tear guidelines. If there is any damage beyond fair wear and tear, or if you’ve exceeded your agreed mileage, you may be charged by the finance company.

The best van to lease depends on your individual needs. We offer any make and any model, so whether you’re looking for a small city van, a large load carrier, or an all-electric van, we can help you find the perfect fit.

If you need a van for business use, we’ll help match you with models that balance running costs, payload, and reliability. For personal use, we can recommend vans that are practical, affordable, and efficient. Our team will guide you through the options to ensure you choose the van that suits your budget, mileage, and requirements.

All new leased vans come with the manufacturer’s warranty and breakdown assistance for at least 12 months. If your van develops a fault or is damaged, you should take it to an authorised dealer or a reputable garage. Repairs caused by manufacturing defects will normally be covered under the warranty.

If your agreement includes a fully maintained contract, you should contact your maintenance provider first in the event of a breakdown, as they will arrange the necessary support.

At the start of your lease process, you would have agreed on an annual mileage as part of your finance agreement.

When it comes to leasing, there is usually a pence-per-mile charge if you go over the limit. This varies by vehicle and should be checked in advance so you understand the potential costs you could face when returning the vehicle.

Tax is included in the monthly cost of your lease agreement.

Yes, if you’re self-employed, you can lease a van either through your business or in your personal name. Both options will require a credit check, and approval from the finance company is needed before you can proceed.

With a Contract Hire lease, all your rental payments can usually be claimed as a tax-deductible expense in your profit and loss accounts. You may also be able to reclaim some or all of the VAT, depending on your VAT status. Since the van isn’t treated as a business asset on your balance sheet, leasing is often a more tax-efficient and cashflow-friendly option compared to buying outright.

Leasing lets you drive a brand‑new van every two to three years while avoiding the hassle of selling a depreciating asset. Leasing offers low upfront and monthly costs, gives access to the latest models, reduces worries about expensive repairs on older cars, and means you simply return the van at the end.

Because you don’t own the vehicle, you aren’t exposed to the depreciation many cars suffer in their first few years.

At the end of your lease, once the agreed contract term is finished, the vehicle will be returned to the finance company.

You’ll pay your monthly rental directly to the finance company that funds your lease agreement.

Contract Hire is a long-term rental agreement, usually lasting 2–5 years. It is sometimes referred to as PCH or Business Contract Hire (BCH). With this type of agreement, you lease a vehicle for a set period at a fixed monthly fee, without owning it. At the end of the contract, you simply return the vehicle.

For van leases, the initial payment is usually collected within one to three weeks after delivery. Because the timing can vary between finance providers, we recommend allowing up to a month. We’ll confirm the exact date with you once your agreement is in place.

If your bank details change, you’ll need to contact the finance company that funds your van lease. They will update your information to ensure your monthly rentals are collected correctly.
