How does van finance work?

A van loan is when you borrow money to cover the cost of your new van. Van finance can be a great option for many, as it gives you access to a van without having to pay any lump sums up front. Instead you will pay back an amount each month until the cost of the finance has been paid off. But with so many options on how to get van finance, it can be hard to know the best way to do it.

Depending on the lender and the type of van finance you decide to go for you might be able to put a deposit towards your new vehicle and therefore you won’t need such a large van loan.

Getting a van on finance is also heavily dependent on your eligibility for the loan itself. When you apply for van finance your application will go through eligibility and affordability. This will check several things including if you are legally able to drive, live in the UK but also if you can afford the monthly repayments of the loan.

The process of financing a van from beginning to end will be different depending on the lender you choose to go for. Our application process has been designed to make your financing experience as simple and easy as possible.

Van finance types

At Moneybarn we use a conditional sale agreement for van finance, which means you have full use of the van for the term of the agreement and it will be registered in your name. However, we will remain the legal owner until all repayments are made. You can find a breakdown of how this compares to other finance options on our finance explained page.

If you are looking to finance a van with another lender, then you could be offered a Hire Purchase, Personal Contract Purchase, personal loan or a lease.

A Hire Purchase (HP) is where you hire the van from the lender until you have paid off your debt, which is very similar to a Conditional Sale Agreement. Once you’ve finished paying the lender back, there is an option to buy the van outright. This is referred to as an ‘option to purchase’ fee and is usually around £100-£200. You’ll only own the vehicle outright once all repayments have been made and you’ve paid the option to purchase fee.

A Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) might be better suited to some as it gives you more flexibility at the end of your agreement, and the monthly repayments tend to be cheaper. It’s where you pay a deposit followed by monthly repayments for an agreed amount of time. At the end of this time period, you have the choice to either hand back the van or pay an amount to buy the vehicle outright. The cost to buy the vehicle is referred to as the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value fee and will vary depending on the make and model of the van.

You can also get a van on lease. What this simply means is you are renting the vehicle for an agreed period of time, but you will never have the option to purchase it. You pay a deposit, or a larger initial payment, followed by fixed payments over a set period of time.

You can compare the advantages and disadvantages of different types of finance such as finance vs personal loan on our finance explained page. This will help you understand what might be best for you.

What our customers say about us​​

"Would highly recommend Moneybarn. They gave me a loan when I couldn’t get one anywhere else and it was an easy transaction. I found their staff to be very helpful, fair and understanding on the couple occasions when I had difficulties making my payments. In the end I cleared my vehicle loan with no defaults or penalties and all was good."
