Protecting Your Van With Insurance

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Vans are definitely one of the most versatile and practical modes of trasport available today. They are largely used for businesses and other commercial uses, but increasingly they are becomming popular with drivers who normally would opt for a car.

Attractive van leasing contracts that make paying for your van cheaper than an equivalent saloon are one of the reasons for this increased popularity. One of the attributes of van are their flexiblity. If you have a sporting life and need to carry around alot of specialist equipment, then a van is a great way to move this stuff around to wherever you wish to go.

But if you own a van, for work or pleasure, it is worth remembering that they can be a magnet for thieves. Always take appropriate precautions when you leave your van unattended. Preferably, leave nothing in your vehicle ensuring always that the doors are properly locked.

If you are going to leave valuable tools and equipment in your van, then you will be inviting problems. While it can be inconvenient to empty your van every evening and store your tools in a garage or lockup, then load up again the following day. If you do this, it will inevitably save some time and money in the long run. Putting a sticker in the window of your van telling people that ‘no tools are kept in this van’ is no deterrent these days. Robbers may just break a window of your van just to see if anything left inside is worth stealing.

Commercial contract hire plus insurance which is definitely a must-have. If you van is used largely for business or commercial reasons, you should invest in a suitable insurance policy. it pays to shop around, as there are plenty of good insurance deals available on the market. Insurance policies vary in value depending upon the type, for example pick up truck leasing or bigger vans

Is Leasing A Van My Best Option?

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

Van leasing, for some businesses, is a preferred method of deferring a van ownership over a long period of time. A business has to be careful when choosing this option, that is is fully aware of the pros and cons of this deal, particularly if there is any doubt about the supplier of the deal.

Deferring the buying of a van outright through commercial van leasing makes sense for a business if long-term ownership of the van is beneficial, and where short-term cash-flow is restricted. Van leasing of this sort is also known as ‘lease purchase’ and appears as an asset on any company’s accounting system. It is possible that tax offsetting benefits could be realised by businesses.

Be wary though of unscrupulous dealers who may try to lure you into a deal with promises of low monthly payments on van leasing without conveying the final ‘baloon’ payment due when the lease expires – the low monthly payment could spell a final cost which is painfully high. It is therefore not only a good idea to shop around and obtain the best quotes for a desired van, but to also ensure that the company you have chosen are reputable. What you are looking for is a business that will be fully transparent with the terms of the lease and what it means to the business in question.

At Mark Williams Vehicle contacts we adhere to the practices of the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Associations code fo conduct on dealing openly and honestly with potential customers, giving all relevant information to support their decision making process when buying a new van.
