How do the monthly van finance payments work?

How do the monthly van finance payments work?

We offer a type of van finance called Conditional Sale (CS). The main difference between CS and other van finance types, like PCP and PCH, is that with CS, you will legally own the van once you make your final payment.

Although the monthly payments might be lower with PCP, you would have to pay the balloon payment before you can legally own the van. With CS, this happens automatically at the end.

With leasing (also known as PCH, or Personal Contract Hire), you’ll never legally own the van. This is essentially renting a van for an agreed period of time. You’ll be able to use a newer van with the latest technology and features, but there’s no option to legally own it. You must return it at the end of the lease period.

You can read more in our guide that explains the differences between van finance and van leasing.

Just like PCP, a Conditional Sale agreement is secured against the van. This means that the van could be repossessed if you can’t make your monthly payments.

Van finance calculator FAQs

A deposit is the amount of money you pay up front when you start a van finance agreement.

Putting down a deposit can make van finance more affordable at the beginning, but in the long run it could make it more expensive. This is because, without a deposit, you’ll be borrowing more money, which means you may be paying more in interest compared to someone who put down a deposit.

We understand that van finance needs to be affordable and sustainable for your needs. Because of this, our van finance agreements require a deposit. If you’re approved, one of our friendly experts can discuss your options and find the right agreement for you.

For more information, read our guide to no deposit van finance to understand how a deposit works and how it affects your agreement.

Our finance gets you where you want to be, with APRs from 17.5% – 49.9%. APR stands for ‘annual percentage rate’. It is the total cost you pay to borrow money for a given year. Our van financing calculator is for illustrative purposes. Your personal APR will depend on several factors, such as your credit file and whether you’ve missed any payments in the past. When you get a quote, if you’re approved we’ll show you a personal APR and how much you could borrow. Read our handy guide if you want to learn more about what APR means.

On average, our customers pay between £250 and £400 per month for their van on finance, but it’s important to know that everyone’s van finance is different, and so your monthly payments might be lower or higher, subject to status and affordability.

There are several factors that affect how much your monthly payments could be. These include:

  • How much you’re looking to borrow
  • How long your agreement lasts
  • What your personal APR is

You can try out our finance calculator and it will show you examples of what your monthly payments could look like.

When you’re ready, get a quote. It takes less than 5 minutes and gives you an instant decision, and if you’re approved, it’ll show you what your agreement might look like.

  • Personal information: this includes your name, date of birth, and marital status
  • Employment: your employment status, employer, and job title. We will never contact your employer
  • Income: your net monthly income (what you make each month after tax) helps us understand your affordability
  • Address history: your current address and 3 years of UK address history
  • Contact details: your mobile number and email address so we can get in touch with you if you’re approved.

If you’re approved in principle, it’s because we need a few more details to support your application. If that’s the case, a member of our team will guide you through that process.
