Hire Purchase Vans
Spread the cost of a new commercial vehicle and own it at the end. No mileage limits, full capital allowances, and the freedom to modify as you see fit.
How hire purchase works
Hire purchase is the most straightforward route to van ownership. You pay a deposit, spread the balance over monthly instalments, and the van is yours when the last payment clears.
Choose your van
Pick any van from our range or let us source exactly what you need from our manufacturer partners.
Pay your deposit
Put down a deposit of 10 to 20% of the vehicle cost. A larger deposit means lower monthly payments.
Monthly payments
Pay fixed monthly instalments over 24 to 60 months. The rate is fixed for the entire term.
Own the van
Once the final payment is made, the van is yours. Full ownership transfers to you automatically.
Benefits of hire purchase
Hire purchase combines the flexibility of monthly payments with the long-term benefit of ownership.
You own it at the end
Unlike leasing, the van becomes yours once you have made all the payments. You are building a genuine business asset.
Unlimited mileage
There are no mileage restrictions with hire purchase. Drive as far as your business needs without worrying about excess charges.
Capital allowances
You can claim the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) against the full cost of the vehicle, reducing your tax bill in year one.
Modify freely
Add your livery, fit racking, install a tow bar. Because the van will be yours, you can modify it however you like.
Fixed interest rate
Your rate is locked in from day one. Monthly payments never change, regardless of what happens to base rates.
Build business assets
The van appears on your balance sheet as a business asset. This can strengthen your position with lenders and investors.
Who is hire purchase ideal for?
Hire purchase suits businesses that want to own their vehicles and benefit from the tax advantages that come with asset ownership. It is particularly popular with:
- Businesses that cover high mileage and want no restrictions
- Operators who want to add livery, racking, or specialist equipment
- Companies looking to build assets on the balance sheet
- Businesses that want to claim the Annual Investment Allowance
- Traders who keep vehicles for a long time and want full control

Hire purchase FAQs
Most hire purchase agreements require a deposit of 10 to 20% of the vehicle cost. A larger deposit will reduce your monthly payments. In some cases, we can arrange lower deposit options depending on your credit profile.
Yes, you can settle early at any point during the agreement. You will need to pay the remaining balance minus a rebate of future interest charges. We can obtain a settlement figure from the finance company at any time.
Technically, ownership remains with the finance company until the final payment is made. However, you have full use of the van throughout and can modify it, add livery, and drive unlimited miles. Ownership transfers to you automatically once the last instalment clears.
The Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) allows businesses to deduct the full cost of qualifying assets, including commercial vehicles, from their taxable profits in the year of purchase. This can result in a significant tax saving. We recommend speaking to your accountant to confirm how this applies to your business.
Yes, we can accept part-exchanges against a hire purchase deal. The value of your existing van can be used to reduce the amount financed, lowering your monthly payments or deposit requirement. Get in touch for a valuation.
