01
Multi-drop and parcel deliveries
Think about cargo space, access, route length and driving patterns. A smaller van might suit local rounds, while larger loads may require a different body size.
RENT2BUY VANS / WHO WE HELP
Delivering for a living? Choose a van that works.
For multi-drop deliveries, local parcel routes or contract driving, the right van is part of your livelihood. Rent2Buy may help eligible drivers find a suitable vehicle without a traditional credit check, provided the rentals and running costs are affordable.
Subject to affordability, identity, documents, location and overall eligibility.
01 / WHO IT MAY HELP
The right van for the right route.
Courier use brings practical questions beyond the headline monthly rental. Make sure your chosen vehicle and agreement fit the job.
02
Self-employed delivery drivers
Income may depend on contracts, shifts or the number of drops completed. We look at your evidence of earnings and other commitments when assessing whether rentals are manageable.
03
Local businesses with delivery runs
For shops and local operators, vehicle availability matters, but so do mileage allowances, insurance, maintenance duties and the total operating budget.
02 / BEFORE YOU APPLY
Clear criteria.
No false promises.
Rent2Buy does not guarantee a van for a particular delivery platform, courier contract or mileage pattern. Confirm the vehicle's permitted use, mileage allowance, insurance and maintenance obligations in the written agreement, alongside the normal identity, affordability and location criteria.
Check full eligibility criteriaLocation
You must normally live within 100 driving miles of Southampton SO40 2NN. Collection is from Southampton; UK-wide delivery is not offered for this scheme.
Documents and income
We normally request recent bank statements, two proofs of address and a full UK or accepted EU driving licence to assess identity and affordability.
Rentals and ownership
An initial rental and monthly rentals apply. The van is yours only if you complete the agreement and exercise the current £99 final purchase option.
03 / HOW IT WORKS
Four straightforward steps.
There are checks, but no need to guess what happens next. Here's the general Rent2Buy application process.
Tell us what you need
Complete the Rent2Buy application with your details, circumstances and the type of van you need.
Provide supporting proofs
Upload the requested bank statements, proof of address and driving licence so we can review the application.
We assess affordability
We check identity, income, commitments, location and eligibility. There is no traditional credit check, but approval is not automatic.
Choose an eligible van
If approved, select a van offered on Rent2Buy, review the agreed rentals and arrange insurance before collection.
04 / QUESTIONS ANSWERED
The details
worth knowing.
Every application is reviewed individually. Your written agreement confirms the terms for the van you choose.
Can I use a Rent2Buy van for courier or delivery work?
Courier or business delivery use may be suitable, but you must disclose your intended use and check the specific vehicle and agreement conditions. Do not assume every vehicle or type of commercial use is permitted.
What mileage allowance applies to delivery drivers?
Mileage requirements depend on your work and the agreed terms. Check the mileage allowance and any charges or restrictions before signing, especially if you expect long daily routes.
What insurance do I need for courier work?
You must arrange insurance appropriate for your actual use. Ordinary social and commuting cover may not cover hire-and-reward courier activity, so confirm the policy and agreement requirements before collection.
Can I apply with irregular courier income?
You can apply, but affordability must be evidenced. Recent bank statements and details of your actual earnings and commitments can help us assess whether the proposed rentals are manageable.
What should I consider beyond the monthly rental?
Allow for fuel or charging, appropriate insurance, servicing and maintenance responsibilities, tyres, parking, and any mileage-related terms. Review the vehicle specification and written agreement.
Can I collect a van if I work outside Southampton?
You must normally live within 100 driving miles of Southampton SO40 2NN. All vehicles are collected in Southampton, and the normal affordability and documentation checks apply.
Is Rent2Buy guaranteed for courier drivers?
No. Your application, proposed use, affordability, driving licence, insurance, documents and overall eligibility must be considered before acceptance.
