Commercial vehicles are a significant investment for your organisation

and may impact on cashflow, taxation or other business investments. There are decisions to be made on how your Van or Pickup is financed. Not only the capital outlay for the vehicle, but the ongoing maintenance and running costs. At Van World we have a range of flexible options.

Types of Finance Available

Choosing the finance method for your Minibus is easy with Van World, your options include:

Purchase

Pay for your Van or Pickup in full and take ownership when you drive away. No financial liability, monthly repayments or third-party ownership. The vehicle becomes yours on day one and a capital asset for your business.

Hire Purchase

You’d like to buy the vehicle but don’t have all the funds available for an outright purchase. Hire Purchase is a great option. Pay a deposit (usually 10-20% of the vehicle cost) and then a monthly repayment over two to five years. At the end of the Hire Purchase term pay the outstanding balance on the Van or Pickup and take full ownership.

Contract Hire

If you don’t want to own the vehicle, then contract hire may be for you. A low upfront payment followed by monthly repayments up to 5 years. The contract can include maintenance and road tax. At the end of the term hand the vehicle back, extend the term or purchase the vehicle if an option. Please note, excess mileage and wear and tear may lead to additional charges on return.

Lease Purchase

Very similar to Hire Purchase, Lease Purchase usually offers lower monthly payments but with a higher final payment (often referred to as a balloon). You can then choose to return the vehicle, purchase the vehicle by paying the balloon or return the vehicle and start a new agreement.
