Understanding Monthly Costs and Pricing with Rent2Buy Vans
If you're considering Rent2Buy Vans as a flexible way to acquire a commercial vehicle like a Ford Transit, you might be wondering about the monthly costs and whether payments include VAT. This guide explains key points about Rent2Buy pricing, how monthly payments are structured, and what you should expect.
How to compare the available quotations
Open a current vehicle and use Build Your Quote. Listings normally show a starting quote based on 1,000 miles per month.
Change the term, contractual monthly mileage and initial rental using the available controls. The displayed monthly and initial amounts show both + VAT and including VAT.
Once satisfied, submit the quote through the application. If you have an existing approval and need to change the quote, use Send Updated Quote where available.
What is Rent2Buy?
Rent2Buy is a rental-to-ownership scheme specifically for used commercial vehicles. It differs from traditional finance methods like hire purchase or leasing because:
• You rent and drive the vehicle during the agreement period.
• You do not own the vehicle until after completing the agreement and optionally purchasing it.
• There is no credit check; instead, applications are assessed using affordability documents and eligibility criteria.
How Much Would a Ford Transit Cost Me on Rent2Buy?
The monthly quote for a Ford Transit or another eligible Rent2Buy van is shown on its vehicle page. Choose the available term, contractual monthly mileage and initial rental in the calculator to see the figures for that specific vehicle.
• The individual vehicle's agreed price under Rent2Buy.
• Your selected agreement term and contractual monthly mileage.
• Your selected initial rental, payable at the stage set out in the agreement.
• The terms the particular van qualifies for and any fixed special-offer conditions.
The calculator displays the current quote for your selected options before you apply. The chosen amount is assessed for affordability as part of your application, and the written agreement confirms the final terms.
Are Rent2Buy Payments Plus VAT?
The live Rent2Buy calculator displays both + VAT and including-VAT figures for the monthly and initial rentals. The written agreement explains the treatment of any further payments.
• Many Rent2Buy monthly rentals are stated 'plus VAT' where applicable.
• The initial rental and final payment may also be subject to VAT.
Compare both the + VAT and including-VAT amounts when considering the monthly and initial rental.
What Does the Monthly Rental Cover?
The monthly rental payment covers the rental of the vehicle during your agreement. It does not include:
• Vehicle insurance (you must arrange fully comprehensive insurance in your name or your company's before collection).
• Servicing, maintenance, or repairs (beyond any applicable warranty terms).
• Fuel or running costs.
Other Pricing Considerations
• Initial Rental: Payable before vehicle collection. The amount varies and can influence your subsequent monthly payments.
• Final Payment: At the end of your agreement, you have the option to purchase the vehicle for a stated final payment. This payment is optional, not compulsory.
• Mileage allowance: The starting quote uses 1,000 miles per month. Choose a suitable available contractual mileage allowance in the calculator; the monthly rental may change. Excess-mileage charges under the signed agreement are separate.
Summary
• Your monthly quotation depends on the particular van and the term, mileage and initial rental you select. Affordability approval is a separate step.
• The calculator displays monthly and initial rental figures both + VAT and including VAT.
• Rent2Buy is rental-to-ownership, not finance. You rent the vehicle and have an option to buy later.
• Insurance and maintenance are your responsibility.
