Van leasing done right.

Van leasing is a simple way to drive a brand new van every 2 to 4 years. With van leasing you select your new van, choose how long you require it for, how many miles you’re going to cover and decide how much you want to pay upfront. You pay fixed monthly rentals and drive the van until the end of the contract, hand back the keys and then order a new one.

Electric Vans. With Fleet Alliance, you can browse through our complete range of electric vans and reduce your carbon footprint and boost your sustainability credentials.

Pickup Vans. Want the benefits of a regular car but need the space a van provides? We got you sorted with a range of pickup vans for you to choose from.

With all of our lease vans we include road tax, manufacturer’s warranty, free delivery, and dedicated customer support throughout your lease. Road tax is also included in your standard monthly van leasing price.

Insurance, however, is not included in the standard monthly van leasing price. You arrange your insurance as normal, but you may also want to consider taking out a GAP insurance product. See our van leasing insurance guide for more information.

You also have the option to add a maintenance package. This is referred to as a ‘finance provider maintained’ contract. If you choose not to take a maintenance package, this is referred to as a ‘customer maintained’ contract. The benefit of taking out a maintenance package is that it gives you complete peace of mind that any unexpected vehicle repair costs you may not have budgeted for will be covered.

There are plenty of reasons to own a van, not least being in total control of how long you decide to keep it. Owning a van provides lots of flexibility for you.

However, the downside is the high cost of the initial down payment and the higher monthly payments. These are considerably more than leasing and can impact cash flow and your ability to expand your business. You also adopt the depreciation risk.

With a lease, following an initial rental, you pay a consistent monthly rental for the lease period (anywhere between 24 and 48 months is usual) and have the option to add a maintenance package to ensure business continuity. At the end of the lease contract you simply hand the van back and lease another new van.

To lease a van, you need to meet certain criteria. You must be over 21 years of age, hold a valid UK driving licence, have 3 years’ employment history, and have a reasonable credit rating. No finance company will consider you for a lease without these. The minimum period you can lease a van for is 24 months. Anything under this contract length would be a short-term hire.

Many people ask us what the payment structures of van leasing mean. To understand this process, here is a simple breakdown with an example:

Example: 3 + 35. This would be a 3 year contract made up of 36 individual monthly payments. The initial rental is 3 x the standard monthly rental amount, followed by 35 standard rentals. So, if the standard monthly payment was £119.99, the initial payment would be £359.97, making the contract one initial payment of £359.97 (3 – representing the number of monthly payments that make up the initial payment) followed by 35 payments of £119.99 (35).

When you take out a lease agreement, you have the option to add a maintenance package. Maintenance can be added to your car leasing agreement for a fixed additional monthly cost to cover servicing, replacement tyres, and other repair costs. A maintenance package offers complete peace of mind that any unexpected vehicle repair costs you may not have budgeted for will be covered.

What do I get with maintenance?

Maintenance packs are an optional extra that can be added to any car leasing contract. In essence, maintenance covers most things that need repaired or replaced during the lease. However, maintenance packs do not cover repairs or replacements that result from accidental damage or misue. Our Fair Wear and Tear guide explains what is considered an acceptable level of deterioration at the end of your lease period.

When taking a maintenance package, you also get breakdown cover included as standard. This means that you’ll never be left stranded in the event of a breakdown and will receive roadside repairs when possible. Maintenance also includes servicing and MOTs. To keep your vehicle within the manufacturer’s warranty, you need to have the vehicle serviced at regular intervals. This can be after a set period of time (every year, for example) or after passing a certain threshold of miles. If you take out a lease for 36 months or more, you’ll legally need to get the car put through an MOT test, too.

How much will maintenance cost me?

The maintenance cost differs depending on the vehicle and the type of contract you request. It is more expensive over higher mileages, as this puts more wear and tear on the tyres and other components.

Should I take out maintenance?

Our advisors always look to get you the most appropriate lease contract possible. You will never be sold a product which isn’t right for your needs, and the choice is always yours. Advisors can give you quotes with and without maintenance included to allow you to make a balanced decision. The final choice is completely up to you. Some drivers like having complete peace of mind from day one, which maintenance provides.

If you choose not to have your vehicle maintained by a finance provider, you must remember that you are in charge of maintaining it yourself. Some of our customers choose to put a little bit extra away every month to help towards the cost of repairs if an unexpected problem occurs.

Lease vans are one of the cheapest ways to drive a brand-new van. Leasing also lets you find a deal that fits your budget. You will agree a fixed monthly price for using the vehicle and the length of time you require it. Leases also include your road tax as standard, and you can cover yourself completely by adding our optional maintenance package.
