The benefits of leasing a van for 12 months

Flexibility
When you lease a work van for a year, it gives your business the flexibility to adjust the fleet size according to your needs. Let’s say you have a sudden increase in demand, you can quickly add a van to the fleet without the need for a long-term financial commitment.
This flexibility can help businesses to adapt to changing market conditions and ensure they always have the necessary resources to meet their customers' needs.

Why are 12 month (one year) van leases becoming more popular?
There are several factors that have led to the increased popularity of one year van leases in the UK. One of the key benefits is the flexibility it offers, letting private individuals or businesses easily switch to newer vehicles and therefore stay up to date with the latest technology and features, without being tied to a long-term financial commitment.
Another reason for the growing popularity of 12 month van leases is the current economic climate. Due to the uncertainty caused by the pandemic, some people are hesitant to commit to a long-term financial obligation like a traditional van lease. A shorter term lease a year offers a lower financial risk as they can be ended early.
Manufacturers and dealerships also promote one year leases to move inventory and sell more vehicles by giving customers the option to frequently change vehicles. Furthermore, companies are also opting for annual leasing to manage fleet costs and minimize financial risk. By leasing a fleet of vehicles for a shorter term, a company can adapt its vehicle needs based on current business conditions and reduce costs associated with excess vehicles.
Can you get a 12 month van lease with no deposit?
Currently it is not possible to sign-up to a 12 month van lease with no deposit through ACL Automotive. However, when leasing a van through ACL Automotive (12 month lease specialists), a refundable damage deposit and one month's rental is required as the first payment. This could be considered as a "no deposit" lease as the payments are made in three equal instalments.
Van leasing companies typically require a deposit as a form of security, in case the lease is terminated early, or monthly payments are not made. The deposit also serves as a way for the company to evaluate your financial capability and may be used to cover certain costs, such as initial wear and tear on the vehicle if the contract is ended before the lease period is over.
Can you lease a van for 12 months with no credit check?
It is not possible to lease for 12 months without a credit check with ACL Automotive.
It is rare to find a van lease without a credit check, and if you do, it’s very likely that you will need to come up with extra requirements such as higher deposits or higher monthly payments to make up for the increased risk taken on by the leasing company.
It's important to note that all reputable van leasing companies typically run a credit check as a standard practice, to evaluate your financial capability and ensure that monthly payments will be made on time.
Although a no credit check van leases may seem attractive, it's crucial to consider the total cost of the lease, including the deposit, monthly payments, insurance, taxes, and maintenance before signing a contract.
