How Rent2Buy Works for Vans: A Step-by-Step Guide

Rent2Buy vans offer a flexible approach to acquiring a van by starting with renting before deciding to buy. This guide explains how Rent2Buy agreements work, who this option suits, and practical next steps to consider if you're thinking about getting a van through Rent2Buy.

What is Rent2Buy?

Rent2Buy is a van acquisition scheme that allows you to rent a van initially with the option to purchase it later. It suits customers who want flexibility or might have concerns about credit checks since Van Finance Company's Rent2Buy service offers no credit check renting.

This approach helps you try a van in your everyday life while deciding if it's right for your business or personal use. After renting, you may have the opportunity to buy the van based on the payments made and agreed terms.

Step 1: Check Suitability for Rent2Buy

Rent2Buy is designed for a wide range of customers, including:

• Individuals who want to avoid traditional credit checks

• Self-employed customers

• Tradespeople

• Limited companies (subject to meeting certain criteria — details marked for review)

However, specific eligibility details related to deposits, payment amounts, mileage limits, and ownership transfer conditions under the Rent2Buy scheme are currently marked for review and should be clarified before applying.

Step 2: Browse Available Rent2Buy Vans

Van Finance Company offers a broad selection of used vans suitable for Rent2Buy agreements. You can browse available vans directly on their website, filtering by your preferences.

All vans come with a free comprehensive in-house warranty valid for 3 months or 3,000 miles, with options to purchase extended warranties through Autoguard Warranties for added peace of mind.

Step 3: Apply for Rent2Buy

Applying is straightforward and requires completing the Rent2Buy application process. Because the scheme involves no credit check renting, lenders do not perform credit affordability checks at this stage. This may make Rent2Buy accessible to customers with bad credit or those who have been declined elsewhere.

Note that details on initial payments, contract length, and mileage limits within Rent2Buy agreements are marked for review. Clarification on these terms will help set clear expectations.

Step 4: Collect and Use Your Van

If your Rent2Buy is collection only from Southampton, you must live within a 100 mile radius of Southampton to qualify.

You can then use the van for your business needs while making agreed rental payments. On the final paymnet it is just a £99 admin fee and we transfer owvership over to you.

Step 5: Decide Whether to Purchase

After completing the Rent2Buy rental term, you will have the option to purchase the van for £99.

You can return the van anytime as long as the agreement is up to and you give us 14 days notice.
