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

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."
Our electric van finance application process is as simple as one, two, three!
