It’s a business van on a short term lease — a set monthly price to run a van that stays ours, rather than a purchase or a multi-year contract. It sits between daily hire, which gets dear over weeks and months, and buying or a full lease, which ties up your cash and leaves you carrying the van’s value. Put simply, it’s van capacity you can switch on and off as the workload moves.
Short term van leasing is built for businesses that need to stay nimble:
Short term with us runs from a rolling month up to twelve, so you’re never paying for a van you don’t need. A month for a quick gap, three or six for a project or a season, nine or twelve for a longer contract. And if the work changes shape, you can change van with it.
One fixed monthly price with the running costs built in: servicing and maintenance, road tax, breakdown cover, the manufacturer warranty, and free delivery and collection. A van that breaks down is a day’s work gone, so keeping it serviced and covered is on us. What you add is insurance and fuel.
Insurance you arrange yourself. Insurance you arrange yourself. A one-size policy across every business would cost you more than cover built for your trade, so you insure the van while it's earning and stop when it goes back. We'll confirm exactly what's required before we drop it off.
Van prices here are shown plus VAT, because nearly everyone leasing a van from us is a business. If you’re VAT-registered and the contract is VAT-qualifying, you can usually reclaim the VAT on a business van — and typically on the maintenance and rental too. It’s worth a quick word with your accountant, but for many trades it takes a real slice off the true cost.
We deliver and collect free, right across the UK. Expect around 10 to 14 days from order to your yard or door — not same-day, because we hand over a van that’s been checked, serviced and made ready to earn from day one.
Each van shows its monthly price plus VAT, so you can see exactly what it costs — and what you’ll reclaim. To get started there’s your first month’s rental up front, a one-off £95 processing fee (plus VAT), and a refundable deposit, returned when the van comes back in good order. After that, it’s the fixed monthly price for the term.
Vans come with a generous 2,000 miles a month as standard — double what our cars get, because a van’s there to earn. Over that, it’s 40p a mile (plus VAT), charged only on the miles you go over. Running big distances on a contract? Tell us up front and we’ll set the allowance to match the work.
From small city vans to long-wheelbase, high-roof and crew vans, and electric vans too — whatever the job calls for. Need several for a fleet or a project? Tell us the numbers and dates and we’ll source and deliver them on one clear set of terms.
Can I reclaim the VAT on a short term van lease?
If you’re VAT-registered on a VAT-qualifying contract, usually yes — you reclaim the VAT on a business van, and typically on the maintenance and rental too. Check the detail with your accountant, but for most trades it’s a genuine saving.
What’s included in a short term van lease price?
Servicing and maintenance, road tax, breakdown cover, the manufacturer warranty, and free delivery and collection. You sort insurance and fuel; we handle the rest.
Which terms can I lease a van on?
Anything from a rolling month up to eighteen. Match it to the job — a month for a gap, three or six for a project, nine, twelve or eighteen for a longer contract — and change van if the work changes.
Can I add branding or racking to a leased van?
Talk to us before delivery. Plenty of trades want signage or racking for the job, and we’ll tell you what’s possible on a short term van.
How many miles does a short term van lease come with?
2,000 a month as standard, with excess at 40p a mile (plus VAT) on the miles over your allowance. Need more for a contract? Set it higher up front and we’ll price it in.
Do I insure a leased van myself?
Yes — you arrange your own business cover and cancel it when the van’s back, so you only ever pay for your own risk. We’ll tell you exactly what’s needed before delivery.
What are the upfront costs on a short term van lease?
Your first month’s rental, a one-off £95 documentation fee, and a refundable deposit that comes back once the van’s returned in good order. After that, it’s the monthly price for the term.
Can I lease several vans for a fleet or project?
Yes — you can lease several vans for a fleet or project. Tell us the vans, the numbers and the dates and we’ll source and deliver a fleet on one clear set of terms — capacity when you need it, handed back when you don’t.
Who arranges servicing on a short term van lease?
We book it and we pay for it, at an approved service centre — you tell us when it’s due. Vans reach service intervals faster than cars because they cover the miles, so this comes up more often on a van than on anything else we lease. A van running out of warranty is an expensive van, and it’s avoided by one phone call.
Whether you require a car or van for one or twelve months, Drive Subscribe provide an alternative to traditional car ownership, offering you the convenience to access a vehicle without the long-term commitment.
