How it Works: Personal and Business Van and Car Leasing Deals Explained

Whether you're a car or van user, there’s no doubt motoring is one of the biggest outlays we all face nowadays. For most of us, that means not only running costs like tax and fuel but the cost of a loan to finance your purchase. Which means a chunk of your hard-earned cash goes to paying the interest on the full price of your car or van.

Leasing Means Less Borrowing, Less Interest, Lower Monthly Payments

The beauty of Allied van and car leasing deals is that you don’t have to finance the full cost of your chosen vehicle – so you have less to pay back and won’t pay as much interest.  What this means for you, simply, is substantially lower monthly leasing payments.  This is because the finance company will give your new car a ‘residual value’ at the end of the lease term.  You only have to borrow and pay up the difference between the new price and the residual value of your car or van.

So yes – Allied car and van leasing really is your way to less borrowing, less interest and lower monthly payments.

Van and Car Leasing Deals Mean no Depreciation Worries and no Hassle Selling your Vehicle

Let’s face it, selling a second-hand car or van is a hassle most of us could do without. You can choose to trade it in with a dealership but will you get what it’s really worth? You might try advertising and selling the vehicle yourself – in other words, more expense, more time, more hassle.

The great thing with Allied van and car leasing deals is that you have absolutely nothing to do when it comes to moving on your vehicle at the end of the lease period.  That responsibility belongs entirely with the finance company – again, because they’ve built that in to the ‘residual value’ at the end of your preferred lease period.

Van and Car Leasing Deals Mean a Brand New Car or Van Every Two, Three of Four Years

Running a vehicle as it get’s older can be when the headaches start. Coming out of warranty cover creates risk; repair costs start to arise; you have an MoT to get through every year; and the chances of breakdown start to increase.

With Allied van and car leasing deals you can plan your life or your business so much better.  Decide what lease period suits you best – you can choose to lease your car or van over two, three or four years – and then you’ll know you simply won’t have to worry about your vehicle getting any older than that.  All you do is meet your fixed, monthly payment and then hand your vehicle back to the finance company at the end of the leasing period.

  • Fixed monthly payment

  • Hand your lease vehicle back after two, three or four years

  • Choose your next great van or car leasing deal

Allied van and car leasing deals – all about saving money and reducing hassle.

Finance Lease

A Finance Lease may suit your business van or car leasing needs if you want to show vehicles as an asset on the company balance sheet.  This means administering your own leasing arrangements.  There are two routes you can follow:

  •  Cover the full cost of the vehicle, including interest due, through fixed monthly payments.
  • Make monthly payments lower by pre-setting an agreed final or balloon payment.

 Either way, your leased cars or vans can and must be sold at the end of the vehicle leasing period and an agreed part of the sale proceeds paid to the finance company.
