Gaining access to relaible and flexible vans for Courier and Logistic companies can be a difficult task. Not all companies who offer subscriptions or short-term leases allow courier companies to access their rental fleet, leaving very few options.
It’s not always viable for logistics companies to outright purchase a commercial vehicle. Brand New vans can loose money quickly and the upfront costs can be crippling. Older vans may not be reliable, something that is very important for customers who demand a service with a deadline.
Using a Van Subscription
Think of a Van Subscription as a long-term van rental service, commercial vehicles can be taken from 1-month (best prices 90 days plus) and run the vehicles until they are no longer required.
They need lower upfront payments, usually just 1st months rental, refundable deposit and a documentation fee and can be run on a month-to-month basis to fit around your business or seasonal trends, something which works great on the run up to Christmas.
Do I qualify for a Subscription?
Before we can send out rental agreements for any vehicles, we need you to set-up a credit line. This will involve a credit check on your company and the Directors may also be looked at too. For establised businesses this shouldn’t be an issue, but if you are a new start-up business, one with an overseas parent company or have negative shareholder funds, you may have to jumps through a few extra hoops.
We understand that the above is off-putting, but it is better that we make you aware of some of the processes now than later down the line.
Short-Term Leases are cheaper, can I opt for one of these?
No this isn’t always the case, depending on the supplier or funder we use, will determine the use of the vehicle. Short-Term Van Leases are renowned for having stricter return standards so those who require a commercial vehicle for heavy use such as courier services or even builders, this service is suited to you or allowed.
