Want to drive a new van every few years? Van contract hire might be the perfect solution for you.
If you are interested in driving a brand-new van but don't want to commit to ownership, we have a solution for you. Van contract hire offers the flexibility of selecting your term, mileage and initial rental to get to a fixed monthly rental for easier budgeting. At the end of the agreement, you simply hand back the van.
This is a great way to drive the latest model, while paying low, fixed monthly rentals. These payments are often lower compared to other van finance options. This is because you are simply paying the difference between the van's price as new and its predicted value at the end of the contract.
After you have found your perfect van, it's time to set up your van contract hire agreement. Simply request a quote based on your chosen initial rental, annual mileage and the length of your contract. The agreement usually varies from two to five years. Once you have completed your finance application and order, all you need to do is wait for the van to be delivered.
During the agreement, you will pay fixed monthly rental payments. When you reach the end of your contract, you will return the van back. And you're then ready to take on a new van contract hire agreement! It's important to note that if you exceed your set annual mileage, you can expect additional charges at the end of your van contract hire agreement. This will be calculated based on pence per mile. So, make sure you agree to a reasonable mileage limit to avoid extra charges.
If you don't want the hassle of van ownership, contract hire is a good option for you.
You get to drive a brand-new van every few years. Also, your monthly rental payments are likely to be lower compared to other van finance options.
