Understanding Your Monthly Mileage Allowance with Rent2Buy Vans
When you enter into a Rent2Buy van agreement, there is usually a monthly mileage allowance that limits how many miles you can drive each month. This allowance is designed to help manage the use of the vehicle during the rental period and avoid excessive wear or unexpected charges.
What is the Rent2Buy Mileage Allowance?
The Rent2Buy mileage allowance is the maximum number of miles you are allowed to drive each month under your Rent2Buy agreement. It is sometimes called a mileage cap or monthly mileage limit.
Typical Mileage Limits
Most Rent2Buy agreements commonly include a mileage allowance of around 3,000 miles per month, which adds up to approximately 36,000 miles per year. However, this figure can vary depending on the vehicle and the individual agreement.
Why is There a Mileage Allowance?
The mileage allowance helps both you and Van Finance Company manage the vehicle’s expected use. Staying within the agreed mileage helps avoid excess-mileage charges or other penalties that may apply if you drive significantly more than your allowance.
What Happens if You Exceed the Mileage Allowance?
If you drive more than the agreed mileage:
• You may be charged additional fees calculated on a per-mile basis for the excess miles.
• Any excess charges will be detailed in your Rent2Buy agreement.
• It’s important to check your specific agreement for these terms before signing.
Can the Mileage Allowance Be Changed?
The mileage allowance is set during the agreement stage. Changes may be possible but will require approval and may affect your monthly rental amount or final payment. Always discuss this with the Rent2Buy team before making changes.
How to Manage Your Mileage Effectively
• Keep track of your monthly mileage carefully.
• Plan your trips to stay within your allowance.
• If you expect to exceed the limit regularly, speak to Van Finance Company about your options.
