Back to basics - Choosing a van
All vans need specialist care & attention.
Fit for purpose
Ask yourself, what do I need the van for? Don’t buy a particular model because ‘that’s the one we’ve always bought’. Choose the make and model that best fits the intended purpose.
Equipment
Make sure you have the right equipment, in everything from the simple (plywood lining) to the complex (refrigeration units).
Understand and minimise downtime
Every moment that the vehicle isn’t working is time your company is paying for while getting nothing back. In just the first hour off the road, an average light commercial vehicle costs you £150!
Benefit in Kind (BIK) taxation
Currently, drivers who take their vans home will not be taxed, provided they make no personal trips in the vehicle. If they do use it personally they pay a flat £500, but from 2007 that rises to £3,000 per annum.
What you should do
Bring in a specialist. If you don’t have one in-house, use a dedicated LCV leasing firm that really understands this market.
