VAN LEASING LIVE!

With ever-rising fuel prices and all the other costs involved, running a van for your business can often seem like an expensive liability. However, if you’re thinking of financing a new van through a flexible finance method such as van leasing, van contract hire or van lease purchase, then you might be surprised at how much less expensive running a brand new van can be. But how do you get best van leasing deal for your business? Here’s a few tips:

Be Flexible
The more flexible you can be about make, model and colour of your van then the more likely you are to find the best van leasing deal. If your van lease company have stock of a certain vehicle then they’re more likely to give you a good deal than if you want a van ‘made to order’. That doesn’t mean you won’t get what you want; being more flexible with the make, manufacturer and colour actually opens you up to much more choice - so be open minded.

Think Long-term
Whether you’re buying a van or leasing one, think of it as a medium-to-long-term investment rather than something you only want for a year. The greatest benefit of a longer-term lease agreement over say 4-5 years is that it will greatly reduce your monthly payments.

Watch Your Mileage (if you can!)
The less miles you do in a year then the cheaper your monthly rentals will be. The problem is this isn’t something you have control over – you have to do the miles your job or business requires of you. But it’s not just doing the least miles that matter. If you are doing more miles then it’s about finding the best van finance package for you. A good van leasing advisor will be able to help you find one of the many van lease packages designed to suit higher annual mileage bandings.

Look Beyond the Monthly Rental
The monthly rental figure for your new van is by no means all you should be taking into consideration. One van may offer a cheap deal on the face of it but if it’s a bit of a gas guzzler and it’s in a high insurance band then it can soon become more expensive overall than that more expensive and better suited model you turned down. Remember to take all cost factors into account before making a decision – it could save you thousands of pounds over the period of the lease.

Find a Flexible Lease Partner
Van leasing has moved on considerably from the past when it was inflexible and often expensive. Today good van leasing companies not only have a range of flexible finance options including van leasing, van contract hire and van lease purchase, they also offer packages completely tailored to your business requirements and budget. For instance, selecting a flexible mileage option, reducing monthly payments with flexible deposit options, including maintenance and servicing into the monthly rental cost and much, much more can be done to create the perfect (and least expensive) van lease deal for you.
