Van contract hire vs finance lease

  • Contract hire is recommended for businesses that are more likely to look after their vehicle
  • Finance Lease is recommended for trades that are more likely to have an issue with the return condition of the vehicle (i.e. plasterers, builders etc.)

Business Car Manager Best Small Fleet Van Leasing Company 2013

Low Cost Vans also scooped the 2013 Best Small Fleet Van Leasing Award category in our very own Small Fleet Leasing Awards. The Business Car Manager Small Fleet Leasing Awards, celebrated the best providers in their class, highly commending them to any small business that may be wanting to lease their cars and vans.

Whilst the awards should speak for themselves (and they do!), it’s not just judging panels and clients that think a lot of the friendly and experienced team when it comes to trusting them with the supply of their commercial vehicles.

Our esteemed editor, Ralph Morton, was impressed with the outfit and the people who made the team when he visited them back in October last year. Rod Lloyd hosted the visit with generosity of spirit and clearly enthusiastic members of staff.

Excellence in customer service

Of course, having the right employees in this type of operation is key: the supply of commercial vehicles can be highly specialised and finance options can be more complex than conventional contract hire. In short, it is important that any company supplying LCVs to SMEs knows their onions.

All in all, the proof is in the pudding – awards aren’t won unless they are warranted. And where commercial vehicle supply is concerned, you want to know that you are in the best hands.

Low Cost Vans contact their customers six months prior to contract end to discuss their next vehicle option – they also look at their balloon payment if they have opted for a finance lease.

Return trade is brisk: like Rod said to Ralph during his visit to Neath, it’s no wonder that they are “confident” that they can “do even better in 2015”.
