How does electric van finance work?

How does electric van finance work?

Our Hire Purchase loans are designed to offer an affordable way for you to get the electric van you need, on terms that suit you. With this type of finance, the loan is secured against the vehicle until it's been paid off. Here's how it works:

  1. You pay a deposit on the van and borrow the rest of the money from us through a Hire Purchase agreement. 
  2. You make regular, fixed instalments - weekly or monthly - to pay off the finance. 
  3. You are charged interest on these instalments, meaning you end up repaying more than you borrowed initially. 
  4. Once your electric van finance agreement is paid off, the vehicle is legally yours

Just so you know... a deposit may not be required. It will depend on the cost of the van and your credit limit.

What are the benefits of this type of electric van finance?

Craig, our Head of Underwriting, is on hand to talk  you through why Hire Purchase could be the most suitable option for you: 

"One of the main advantages of Hire Purchase is that because of the fixed instalments, you know exactly how much you'll be paying every week or month. This makes it easier for you to plan with certainty, and there are no nasty balloon payments at the end of the term. We can offer electric van finance on a variety of makes and models, too. And it might be that we can lend to you without needing a deposit. In that case, you'll have more money to squirrel away, or to put towards other costs such as road tax and insurance."
