FOR today’s businesses, buying a van is a big investment, which means you need to find a vehicle that gives you all the functions and features you need, at a price you’re happy with. 

With so many new vans being released every year, it can be a challenge to keep up and find the perfect solution for your organisation.

Here are some tips to help you find the vehicle you want, at a price your bank balance and business will love. 

List the features you need and the ones you’d like

Before you start your search for the perfect business van, you need to figure out what you want. Consider how much space you need, the type of fuel you’d like it to run on and every other basic function that you need from your van. 

You also need to think about the technological features you want your new van to have.

There are many trends in the commercial vehicle sector that are impacting on the vans on the market currently, so explore all the options and come up with a list of everything you need from your new vehicle, as well as everything you would like.

Being prepared will make your search for a new company van much easier and more efficient. 

Shop around

You might have a van supplier that you’ve worked with for years, but you could be getting a better deal if you looked elsewhere. 

As such, it’s important that you check out everything that the market has to offer. Online sales websites, free online adverts and even social media platforms such as Facebook can allow you to see a selection of the vehicles available in your local area. 

Consider leasing

One cost-effective way to use the latest model of van, without paying the high price to purchase it, is to lease it. This will allow you to use a new van for as long as you need it for, then pass it back to the leasing company once you’re done. 

Check out the range of Vantage Vans if you want to see the latest model vans and find the one that’s perfect for you. On the Vantage Leasing website you get to choose from a variety of vehicles and financing options, meaning that you can tailor everything to your business’ exact specifications. 

Don’t overlook ex-demo vans

Another great way to drive a premium quality vehicle for a budget price is to buy an ex-demo van. These are vans that were once used as test vehicles at showrooms. They often don’t have many miles on the clock and will give you all the functions of the latest model of van for a reduced price. 

The only downside to buying an ex-demo vehicle is that you often have less choice than if you were buying a new van. Make sure that you focus on finding the van that’s best for you, not just the cheapest option. If you choose a cheap ex-demo van that doesn’t have the functions or space your business needs, then it may be unfit for purpose and unusable.
