As a new business staring up and needing a van I had the dilemma of whether to go down the van leasing route or to buy.
With not much disposable cash and the need for having a vehicle that was in good condition and reliable,
after much though I decided on leasing a van.
The next step was for me to find a reputable, local van leasing company in or near to Worthing. The
company I found were most helpful in helping me decide which van would best suit my needs and most
importantly be a van lease agreement that was affordable.
The whole procedure was very easy and now I am driving around in a brand new Citroen Relay.
From a company image point of view, I am happy to arrive at my clients property in a smart vehicle, unlike
the ones I could have purchased out right.
I relish the knowledge that I can always drive the latest vehicle with the newest features. I feel successful in
my fledgling business.
In addition to this, I don’t have to worry about selling on a van after I have used it for a period of time and
then having to start out again looking at an updated van to buy. Not being terribly au fait with what goes on
under a bonnet, I could very easily end up owning something that spends more time in the garage than on
the road! I am safe and secure knowing that the van I am driving will always be under warranty – fantastic
peace of mind!
Obviously I would never have bought a new van as the depreciation on any new vehicle is so high and this is
probably one of the top reasons why van leasing wins hands down over buying.
I will look at replacing it every two years from now on as safety is a very important factor and by doing this
I know I will always have a vehicle that is at the forefront with safety technology.
As a new business, cash flow and budgeting are very high priorities and with leasing a van, I know how
much the cost is per month with no hidden extras or nasty garage repair bills.
Van lease versus van purchase? It’s a no brainer, take my word for it- van leasing wins every time
