Hiring a vehicle to support your commercial operations can be vital for the business’s success. Vans for hire in particular, offer a cost-effective solution for transporting business assets. Read below for tips on hiring a van for your business.

The benefits of hiring a van

Compared to hiring a van for personal use, commercial van renting is far cheaper. Firstly, fixed payments ensure there aren’t any hidden charges involved in the contract. These payments are also tax deductible, so you can claim between 50-100% of any VAT depending on the contract. Lastly, an advantage of renting a van instead of buying is that it will not depreciate in value. The provider will simply accept the return of the vehiclewhen the agreed period comes to an end.All of these aspects make hiring vans budget friendly from a business perspective.

Another benefit is flexibility. There can be many reasons for business owners to require van rental services. Depending on the nature of your business or the changes its undergoing, you may needvan hire daily or monthly due to the following:

Relocating equipment, materials and/or tools
To facilitate off-site projects
To provide delivery services
Improve inventory management
Support seasonal increases in business
In the event of an emergency

How to hire a van for my business

When using a fleet of vans as a business, hired or not, you will need to comply with various safety regulations. This includes the Work-Related Road Risk initiative and Fleet operator Recognition Scheme, along with the relevant accreditations. Hiring a van for commercial use can then be done on either a short-term, long-term, or flexible contract. In the case of a long-term contract, businesses can benefit from discounts and the ability to make the payment at a later date.On the other hand, short-term hiring can be a way to more modern vans.

Flexible van hire contracts are the most ideal for businesses though, as it enables fleet operators to adapt to changing market conditions. When demand increases, businesses can scale their number of vans accordingly. When demand drops, vehicles can be returned without penalty.

Many lenders will offer maintenance and repair packagesalongside commercial vehicle leases.

Financial Disclosure

Croxdale Service Station Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010).

Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Croxdale Service Station Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders will pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
