What is short-term van leasing?
Short-term van leasing allows businesses to lease a van for a fixed period, typically 6 or 12 months, without entering a long-term contract. It provides predictable costs and access to newer vans, making it suitable for businesses with defined vehicle requirements.
What lease lengths are available for short-term van leases?
Short-term van leases are offered on fixed terms, most commonly 6 or 12 months. Each van is tied to a specific contract length based on availability, and lease durations cannot be reduced or extended once agreed.
How is short-term van leasing different from van subscriptions?
Short-term van leasing is fixed and structured, with no flexibility to change or end the agreement early. Van subscriptions are more flexible and better suited to businesses that may need to scale fleets up or down. If flexibility is required, van subscriptions are the recommended option.
Who is short-term van leasing suitable for?
Short-term van leasing is best suited to business users who can commit to fixed terms and operate within agreed usage conditions. It is not suitable for courier or logistics companies, or businesses with very heavy vehicle use, due to strict return standards.
Are courier or logistics companies eligible for short-term van leasing?
No. Fixed short-term van leases are not available to courier or logistics companies. Businesses in these sectors are better supported through van subscription options, which are designed for higher usage and operational flexibility.
Is insurance included with a short-term van lease?
Fully comprehensive insurance is available and can be arranged as part of the lease if required. Businesses may also use their own insurance, provided it meets UK requirements and covers the full lease period.
Can I apply my own signage or branding to the van?
Yes. Temporary signage is permitted as long as it is fully removed at the end of the lease and the vehicle is returned in acceptable condition, in line with the lease agreement.
What costs are included in a short-term van lease?
Road tax, warranty, and breakdown assistance are included. A generous mileage allowance is available, with options up to 2,000 miles per month. Maintenance is optional and can be added depending on your requirements.
What types of vans are available on short-term lease?
A wide range of vans is available, including small, medium, large, and extra-large vans. Vehicles are primarily from Ford, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz. Electric vans are also available in limited numbers, along with specialist vehicles such as crew vans, pickup trucks, and minibuses.
Can I order a van to my own specification?
No. Short-term van leasing is based on existing stock vehicles only. Vans cannot be factory ordered or customised beyond permitted temporary signage.

Yes. Credit checks are required for all business customers, and bad credit is not accepted. This ensures a professional and reliable leasing service.
