If you're already not aware, then let us inform you that there are affordable options you can consider for your business, that mean you don't have to fork out large sums of money to purchase a fleet, or apply for a loan to purchase. You can simply lease or hire a transport vehicle, just like you would do with a car.

The most common type of vehicles that are used in the transportation business are vans and they come in all shapes and sizes configured for special uses. For instance, if you want a simple commercial van you can choose from a minivan range, which is ideal for the DIY traders to carry your toolkit and small load items. 

If you are transporting larger objects or making multiple delivery runs, then you can always start with a short or medium wheel base van, or maybe go for the alternative, a heavy duty long wheel base.

Businesses in the food and drink industry also have available smart specialist vehicles, that keep their food fresh by using temperature controlled or refrigerated vans. These keep edible products chilled at the perfect level of freshness required by the customer, while meeting health and safety standards.

Flexible Daily Hire

This is the most flexible option and with almost any nationwide van hire and rental company, you can alternate between different vehicles and your prices may be negotiable, by leveraging your length of hire with estimated extra mileage. Better still it's an all-inclusive service with insurance and if you opt for damage waiver, you won't need to pay for unforeseen damages or repairs. In addition, if potential loss of vehicle for any period causes you inconvenience, most reputable rental companies do offer vehicle replacement, so you can continue your agreed hire term without further hassle.

Contract Hire

If your business is making regular use of the same vehicle, on average more than 15 days out of the month, then you may be better off going for a contract hire agreement, that can be as short as 12 months or as long as 4 years.

These flexible long term options, guarantee you a vehicle throughout your contract and will give you  peace of mind without signing daily hire agreements, the hassle of collection and having to return the vehicles frequently.

Although you will have to factor in the cost of insurance, your monthly average hire rate hire will be a lot less and you can even take out a service and maintenance cover to give you total peace of mind.

Leasing

If you are looking to build assets within your company, then this is a good option for you, as the initial outlay is low and the leasing interest rates reasonable. This allows you to establish your fleet with options that could allow you to subcontract, if the initial agreement doesn't restrict you.

Depending on your business model, you can easily choose from a range of leasing agreements that  fit your requirements and whatever your needs are, there is always a smart vehicle solution that can totally suit your business.
