Frequently Asked Questions

YOU'VE GOT VAN LEASE QUESTIONS - LET US ANSWER THEM FOR YOU

Before you identify your new van and get an online van-leasing quote, or even if you've already calculated a van leasing quote, let us answer any questions you may have about van leasing. We've tried to answer all your van lease questions below but if there's another question you have or you want to talk in more detail, why not give one of our specialist van leasing advisors a call.

How does Van Leasing Quotes work?

Van Leasing Quotes is a website designed to let you easily search and identify your next van from our database of over 1000 vehicles. Once you’ve identified your van we let you quickly calculate a customised van-leasing quote based on your exact requirements. You can then choose to print or save the quote, apply online, customize the quote further or keep browsing and get quotes for further vehicles.

How do you keep van leasing prices low?

We are an online business, which means we don’t have to invest millions of pounds in the new showrooms, expensive demonstration vehicle programmes and other large overheads that most major motor dealerships do. Its simple, we keep our overheads low and pass on the savings to you.

Can I choose any colour of van?

Yes, you can choose any colour available in the range of van you choose. One thing to bear in mind though is that the more flexible you are with colour, the quicker the delivery of your new van will be. Choosing a popular colour like white, which is usually in stock, will take less time than if you order a van that is a specific, less popular, colour.

Can I add optional extras onto my new van?

We can supply and fit a range of extra items to your new van. If you have specialist items that you want to fit yourself feel free to fit these at your own cost

Can I brand my new van?

Absolutely – what could be a better advert for your business than a great new van with your brand on it! All we ask is that if you choose to return the van to us then please remove all the lettering and decals before the lease period ends.

When will my new van be delivered?

We provide free-of-charge delivery of your new van to any UK mainland address and aim to do so within 7 – 10 working days. If you choose a model that isn’t readily available and can’t wait we will endeavour to recommend another suitable van.

Will my new van be covered by the manufacturers warranty?

Yes, all our vehicles come with the full UK manufacturers warranty.

Will my new van be maintained?

It can be if you want - we offer a fixed cost maintenance plan but don’t insist that you include this. All of our vehicles are brand new and come with a full manufacturers warranty.

Service intervals on new commercial vehicles have become far less frequent than they used to be. Doing an average mileage means you may only need one service a year to keep your van in tip-top condition.

Is road assistance included in the lease?

All of our vans are delivered with the manufacturers roadside assistance package. In most cases this offers 3 years cover but you can opt to extend this beyond to give yourself complete piece of mind should the unforeseen happen.

Is there an annual mileage limit on my new van?

Your van lease agreement will include an annual mileage limit. However, our contracts are extremely flexible and we can arrange to increase or decrease the amount of mileage you require. We are here to help that’s why we make sure that our lease deals are the most flexible available on the market.

How long is the lease period?

Our van lease agreements range from 12 to 60 months depending on the vehicle and contract chosen.

Is there an initial deposit when leasing a van?

Yes, but the amount you pay is up to you and depends on the lease option that you go for. While a minimum one payment upfront is available, typically an initial deposit of 3 monthly payments is required. Larger deposits can be given to reduce the monthly payment.

Will I own my van at the end of the lease period?

It’s up to you! You can opt to buy the vehicle from us. We can even tell you on day one before you start the lease what price you will need to pay. This is an extremely popular aspect of our service.

Will the lease agreement include road fund license?

Yes, either for the duration of the contract or 12 months. This will depend the type of lease agreement chosen.

Will the lease agreement include insurance for my van?

No, the van lease agreement does not include insurance. You have to arrange your own fully comprehensive insurance for the vehicle.
