I bought a 4 year old VW T6.1 from Universal Vans at a very competitive price; from the first phone call to the final delivery, staff were unfailingly helpful. Post vehicle inspection and test drive, my feedack re the van was taken seriously and acted upon without question before final purchase. I would not hesitate to buy from this team again.

Leeds Van Leasing FAQs

Your eligibility for van leasing will depend on a number of factors. A full credit check will be required before your application can go ahead.

Your driver’s license, proof of address and financial information will be required in order to process your application. This includes bank details and details of your income and employment.

Personal information will also be required, including name, date of birth, and address history, and proof of a successful credit check.

More often than not, leasing will work out cheaper than an outright purchase. You’ll have predictable, monthly payments, and you won’t need to worry about the cost implications of depreciation. Plus, you may be able to benefit from tax deductions on your leasing payments.
From sole traders to large fleets, van leasing can be of benefit to a huge range of Leeds-based businesses, especially those in trades, logistics and service sectors. Van leasing can help you to manage cash flow, reduce upfront costs, and access newer vehicles, whilst avoiding depreciation, all of which can be of huge benefit to startups, growing businesses and those looking for flexibility when it comes to their fleet.

Van leasing is best suited for VAT-registered businesses, as you are able to claim back 100% of the VAT on your initial deposit and the monthly payments that you make during your contract. The other ways to obtain a van are to buy the van outright or finance the van. This is not appropriate for many businesses, as you will have significant cash tied into an asset that depreciates over time. Van leasing is perfectly suited for businesses that want to drive a new van every few years and pay for their van or fleet in manageable, monthly payments.

The overall cost will depend on the van that you choose and the initial deposit that you make towards the overall cost of the lease. A larger deposit will result in lower monthly payments. If you are VAT-registered, then you can claim 100% of the VAT back on payments, making leasing ideally suited for VAT-registered companies. You will need to decide on the mileage that you will cover each year and agree on this before signing the contract. You need to strike a balance between not choosing too many but ensuring that you are realistic, as you will incur penalties for exceeding mileage if you do exceed this each year.

The van will need to be returned to its original condition in terms of signage and any other additions when the lease agreement ends. There is acceptable depreciation over time, which is fine when the vehicle is returned. Damage to the vehicle will likely incur financial penalties when the van is returned at the end of the contract.

Finance leasing is a slightly different agreement, where a lessor owns an asset and leases it to you as the lessee. They are responsible for the maintenance of the asset during its lifetime, so you don’t have to worry about maintaining your van or vans. This is a great solution for those who want to lease a van without having to worry about maintenance, and then operate in the same way as van leasing. You pay for your van with manageable monthly repayments, with VAT-registered businesses being able to claim 100% back of the VAT on payments. You make the initial deposit to decide on the amount that you will pay each month.

Various terms are available on our vans, typically ranging from 2 to 5 years. The average lease period we provide is 3 years.

We’ll work with you to select the best contract duration for your personal circumstances. If you’re unsure which term is best for you, speak to our team, who’ll be happy to help.

All lease agreements will have a mileage limit. Exceeding your agreed mileage limit will result in additional charges at the end of your lease period, in pence per mile.

Therefore, you must provide an accurate indication of your mileage. We’ll be happy to advise on this ahead of your lease.

Yes. Like most financial agreements, van leasing does require a credit check.

We always aim to have all of the relevant paperwork ready to make the application process as fast as possible. We will advise you on the paperwork that we need to ensure that a full application is made. When everything is provided, your application should be processed within the day. Delays can be caused if it’s a busy period, if not all paperwork is submitted, delays in submitting documents, or anything (if raised) by the credit check. We will advise you on how long the application is going to take once you are ready to make your application.

If you exit your lease contract early, there are significant penalties. Van leasing is a fixed agreement in which you need to reach the end of the contract before choosing a new van. This is up to 75% of the remaining payments for the first year and 50% after this. You will need to be committed to the length of the leasing contract before signing your agreement. Contract length is between 2 and 5 years, with the average being 3 years. You can lease more vans while you have a current lease deal in place.

Yes, if you need to expand your lease, you can lease more vans to suit your needs. Van leasing is ideally suited for growing businesses, as you can add to your fleet when you need without having to make an upfront capital investment in a depreciating asset or assets.

Many of our vehicles meet current emissions standards.
We offer fast UK-wide delivery.

Company decals and liveries can be applied to vans.

If you apply decals to a van under a contract hire lease, you must ensure that the decals are removed at the end of the lease. Failure to remove these decals will result in a charge.

Approval will be required to attach a tow bar or roof rack to a leased van. Modifications must be removed, and the vehicle must be restored to its original condition by the end of the lease period.
This will depend on the type of contract you take out. Contract hire requires you to return the vehicle at the end of the agreement. After a hire purchase contract, you will take full ownership, and a finance lease gives you the option to either keep the vehicle, part exchange it or sell it and refinance it for the final rental payment.

Fair wear and tear is the natural deterioration of a vehicle through reasonable, normal use.

Damage is deterioration that happens as a result of a specific event, neglect, or misuse.

Yes, after your van leasing contract ends, you return your van and then can choose a new van that suits you. If your situations have changed, we often find that our clients will then expand to a fleet, and you can then choose the vans that you need.

When you return your van after the lease ends, we will inspect the vehicle. There are reasonable grounds for expected damage on the vehicle, which is classed as fair wear and tear. Any damage that occurs that is outside of this will likely incur a financial penalty. You must also remove any modifications to the van and signage when you return it, as the van needs to be returned in its original condition.
