Van leasing FAQs

Van leasing is just like car leasing - it’s basically a long-term rental agreement. After paying an initial deposit, you make fixed monthly payments to use a new van. Leasing payments are typically lower than other finance agreements because you don’t own the van at the end of it.

Lease companies will conduct a credit check to make sure you have the funds to keep up with your lease payments. You may find you’re not eligible for the best deals or to lease with certain companies if your credit score is low. If your personal credit score is low but your business credit score is high then you could try a business rather than personal lease - or vice versa.

If your priority is having a brand-new, reliable vehicle with fixed monthly costs and without paying a lot up front, then leasing a van is a great idea. Lease payments are usually tax-deductible if arranged through a business, and you benefit from the manufacturer’s warranty. On the flip side, it can be more expensive long-term than other forms of financing, and you never own the van. You’re also not allowed to make permanent modifications.

Yes, when leasing a van you’re responsible for making sure it’s insured. Your policy must be active from the day of delivery to the day of collection, and this is usually specified in your lease contract. While not obligatory, it’s also a good idea to take out GAP insurance to cover any shortfall between your insurer’s payout and the remaining finance if the van is written off or stolen.

An insurance policy isn’t inherently more expensive for a leased vehicle, but your leasing provider will usually insist on fully comprehensive coverage so there’s no access to cheaper third party-only policies.

If the van is used exclusively for business purposes then yes, lease payments are treated as a business expense and therefore you can reclaim 100% of the VAT.
