What is the point of renting a van when you can lease?
The most frequent question that I and my colleagues are asked year in and year out is how to make the choice between renting and leasing a van. What are the major benefits to taking out a lease, as opposed to a simple rental agreement?
It is quite simple really. When you lease a van you can choose which one to take from the extensive range of familiar models that are available. You can choose what colour it will be, what options you want and what size and specification you require. As a customer, you would be spreading your payments monthly over an agreed period which is going to be cheaper than renting. It is becuase the finance company knows exactly how much money it will be earning from the customer because of the customer’s committment to the deal.
Because we have such a high turnover of vans, we can get the best possible prices, and pass them straight to the customer. This culminates in lower start up cost, helping to improve cash flow for the customer. The customer has the option as well to own or sell the van at the end of the commercial vehicle leasing deal.
As an added bonus, you can sign write your company logo onto the van, and add extras like roof racking and interior racks.
As an alternative, with rental you can pay the monthly cost and have nothing to show at the end of the rental agreement. This for me is the least attractive of all the options on the table, and is less helpful for any business.
