The only requirement for the initial van leasing rental is three months rental in advance. But you can pay more upfront to reduce your monthly payments.
You can also choose the rental term of your van lease. Rental terms can range from two to five years. Shorter agreements generally result in higher monthly rental payments.

What are the differences between new van leasing, contract hire, and hire purchase?
New van leasing and contract hire agreements are quite similar, with a few key differences. They both involve leasing a van over a set period with monthly instalments.
With a finance lease, you have the option to include a balloon payment and sell the van on behalf of the finance provider. You will then receive a percentage of the sale proceeds. There's also the option to extend the term of the lease.
There is no option to own the van outright with a contract hire agreement as the van is simply handed back.
However, hire purchase is a fixed cost, fixed period loan that is linked to or secured on the purchase of a vehicle. At the end of the agreement, you can pay an Option to Purchase Fee. This then allows you to take ownership of the vehicle. Find out which van leasing deal is best for you by visiting our van finance pages.
