Van leasing is a simple and affordable way to drive a brand-new van without the big upfront cost of buying. You can choose the van that suits your needs, agree on a contract length and mileage, then pay fixed monthly instalments for the time you use it. At the end of the lease, you just hand the van back, with the option to upgrade to a new model.

Leasing a van can make more sense than buying, depending on your budget and how long you want to keep the vehicle. Buying outright usually means a large upfront cost, and you’ll also need to think about depreciation and the hassle of selling the van later on. With leasing, you simply pay a fixed monthly cost and enjoy driving a brand-new van every few years. Road tax is included, so you don’t need to worry about resale value, and you can add a maintenance package for extra peace of mind. It’s an easy, cost-effective way to keep your business moving.

With Select Van Leasing, you can lease all types of commercial vehicles! From compact small vans like the Ford Transit Courier, Peugeot Partner, and Renault Kangoo, to medium vans like the Ford Transit Custom, and large vans including heavy hitters like the Ford Transit, Mercedes Benz Sprinter, Peugeot Boxer, and Volkswagen Crafter.

Yes, you can lease electric and hybrid vans with us. These are a great choice if you want to reduce running costs, lower emissions, and benefit from the latest eco-friendly technology.

We offer a range of models, from compact city vans like the Renault Kangoo E-Tech and Peugeot e-Partner, to larger options such as the Ford E-Transit and Mercedes-Benz eSprinter.

The key difference is who the lease is for and how it’s used. Personal van leasing is aimed at individuals who want flexibility and the ability to upgrade regularly, without tying up a large amount of cash.

Business van leasing is designed for companies and sole traders, and offers benefits such as VAT recovery, potential tax advantages, and the option to lease multiple vans for a fleet. Both allow you to drive a new van every few years, but business leases are structured to suit commercial needs

Absolutely. Being self-employed or a sole trader doesn’t stop you from getting a van on a lease. In fact, we offer flexible options that make it easy to get the van you need and one that fits your budget.

Most van lease contracts in the UK run between two to five years (24 to 60 months), with two, three and four year terms being the most common. However, at Select Van Leasing we also offer shorter contracts from just 6 months, giving you extra flexibility if you don’t want to commit long-term. A 60-month agreement is available only as a finance lease, while shorter and mid-length terms remain the most popular for balancing cost and convenience.

Your monthly payment is based on several factors, including the van you choose, the lease term, the initial payment, your annual mileage, and any optional extras such as maintenance packages. You’ll get a transparent, fixed monthly cost so you know exactly what you’ll pay throughout your lease, with no hidden surprises.

Yes, standard road tax (Vehicle Excise Duty) is included for the duration of your lease, giving you one less thing to worry about. Please note that additional charges may apply in certain circumstances, so we recommend checking our full terms and conditions for details.

No, insurance is not included as part of your van lease. You’ll need to arrange your own van insurance before taking delivery, and our team can offer guidance on the types of cover available to make sure you’re properly protected on the road.

Yes, you can. By adding a maintenance package, your van’s routine servicing, MOTs, and common wear and tear items, like tyres and brakes are all taken care of.

Yes, having a reasonable credit score usually makes the leasing process smoother, as we need to be confident you can meet the monthly payments. But, even if your credit isn’t perfect, there are options available, and our team will guide you through the process to find a van lease that fits your needs.

Yes, you can. Leasing a van with us is a popular choice for businesses of all sizes. It allows you to access brand-new vans without a large upfront cost, helping to manage cash flow and keep your operations running smoothly.

Business van leases also come with benefits such as VAT recovery and potential tax advantages, making them a practical, cost-effective solution for sole traders, small businesses, and larger fleets alike.

Absolutely. We offer flexible business leasing options if you need multiple vans for a fleet. Whether it’s two vehicles or twenty, our specialist team can help tailor a package to suit your business needs, with competitive rates.

We work with many new businesses and start-ups to help them get on the road. While finance approval is subject to the usual credit checks, our team will guide you through the process and explore the best options to suit your circumstances.

Yes - you absolutely can lease a van in the UK as a private individual, not just as a business. This is often called personal van leasing (or Personal Contract Hire – PCH). You might, for example, want the practicality that a van offers when it comes to camping trips, transporting bikes, boards and other hobby equipment, or if you regularly need to move large items around.

Our van leasing rates are typically listed as business deals (excluding VAT) but if you want to tailor a van lease for personal use (including VAT), contact one of our leasing consultants by emailing enquiries@selectcarleasing.co.uk or by calling 0118 338 3799.

At the end of your lease with us, you simply return the van. There’s no need to worry about selling it or dealing with depreciation.

From there, you have a few options. You can start a new lease on a different van or it may be possible to extend your current lease if you need more time (subject to availability from the vehicle funder). If you’ve entered a Finance Lease agreement, you have the flexibility to retain the use of your vehicle at the end of the contract by entering a secondary rental period (sometimes called a ‘peppercorn rental’).

Yes, it is possible to end your van lease early, but it can depend on the type of lease you have and your agreement with us. Ending a lease before the contract finishes may involve fees, so it’s important to speak with us as soon as your circumstances change.

We can guide you through your options, which might include transferring the lease, upgrading to a new van, or arranging a suitable early termination plan that works for your situation.

If you exceed the agreed mileage on your lease, additional charges may apply at the end of the contract. The cost is usually calculated per extra mile, so it’s important to keep track of your usage throughout the lease.

If you think you might go over your allowance, speak to us early. We can sometimes adjust your contract or offer solutions to help manage the extra mileage and avoid unexpected costs at the end of your lease.

Yes, it is possible to extend your van lease when the contract ends – subject to availability from your vehicle funder. If you’re happy with your current van and need a little more time, we can help you extend your lease beyond the original contract.

Extending your lease is a flexible option that allows you to continue driving a reliable van without the need to start a new agreement immediately. It can also give you extra time to plan your next vehicle upgrade or business requirements.

No, it’s not usually possible to purchase a van at the end of a lease contract. With Contract Hire, the van is returned at the end of the agreement. However, we also offer Finance Lease contracts (60 months only), which give you more flexibility at the end of your lease. You could sell the vehicle and share in the proceeds or keep it for a secondary rental period – all while lowering your monthly fees with a balloon payment arrangement. Business lease customers can also benefit from tax advantages, including claimable expenses and recoverable VAT. Contact one of our Select Van Leasing consultants for a personalised quote and advice tailored to your needs.

Your lease agreement covers the key details of your van lease, including the length of the contract, the agreed mileage, and the monthly payments. It also sets out the responsibilities for both parties, such as returning the van in good condition at the end of the lease.

Depending on the options you choose, your lease may also include things like road tax and the option to add a maintenance package. This ensures you know exactly what’s covered and can plan your costs with confidence.

Swapping your van mid lease isn’t usually standard, but it can be possible depending on your agreement and circumstances. If your needs change, speak to us as soon as possible. We can explore options such as upgrading to a different van, transferring to a new lease, or arranging an early termination plan that works for you.

Yes, we do. Short-term van leases are ideal if you need a van for just a few months, whether it’s for seasonal work, a temporary project, or to bridge the gap while waiting for a long-term lease.

With a short-term lease, you still get the benefits of driving a brand new van without a large upfront cost, and you can choose the contract length that best suits your needs. This flexible option helps you stay on the road without committing to a long-term agreement.

Yes, you’re responsible for keeping your leased van properly maintained and serviced throughout the contract. That includes following the manufacturer’s servicing schedule and arranging an MOT once the van is three years old.

You can choose to add a maintenance package to your lease, which covers routine servicing, MOTs, and even things like tyre replacements. This can make life easier by spreading the cost and giving you peace of mind that everything is taken care of.

If your leased van is damaged, you’ll need to arrange for repairs through your insurance. At the end of the lease, the van will be inspected and assessed against fair wear and tear guidelines. Minor scratches or small marks are usually acceptable, but more significant damage may result in additional charges.

To avoid surprises, it’s a good idea to keep the van well maintained and repair any damage promptly. Adding a maintenance package can also help with keeping the vehicle in good condition.

No, you don’t need to return the van in perfect, showroom condition. At the end of your lease, the van will be checked against fair wear and tear guidelines, which take into account normal, everyday use. Light marks, small scratches, or minor signs of wear are usually acceptable.

However, more serious damage, neglect, or anything beyond fair wear and tear may result in additional charges. Keeping up with regular servicing and repairs will help make the handover simple and stress-free.
