Van Leasing
A simple or cost effective way to fund your company vehicles
How it works
Van Leasing from FordRetailOnline is a simple cost effective way to fund your commercial vehicle. Simply choose the commercial vehicle you want, make an initial payment followed by fixed monthly rentals for the duration of the agreement. Depending on your requirements, the monthly rental can include a wide range of value added services ranging from maintenance and repair plans, through to a full accident management provision. There are no part-exchange negotiation hassles, financial risks or disposal issues. At the end of the agreement, you simply return the commercial vehicle, subject to mileage and condition and start again with a new Contract Hire agreement.
