can anyone recommend a reputable company to lease a van from?

as above really about to start self employed and would like to lease a van but dont know which way to go about it

Go direct to the vehicle manufacturer.

I'm with VW and am pleased with the deal I have.

Beware of the mileage clauses.

Your annual mileage and overall mileage for the contract have a big effect into the pricing and if you get it wrong, high or low it WILL cost you.

I've just took delivery of my 4th Citroen Relay via Citroen Contract Motoring, best deals Ive ever had have all been via main dealers.

swiss vans are good so I hear, definately cheaper than main dealer. I've never leased a van but was close to earlier this year, this lot were the cheapest I could find and I know of a few people who have had 2-3 vans from them so can't see them being any more trouble than main dealers.

Second that, done a lot of research on this a year or so ago and Swiss seemed to be the ones to with

How much is it to lease a van? I expect you can get it sign written then.

How does it work - something I never looked into.

I own my X reg Fiat Decanto and insure it for £1,200 per year.
Its a complete wreck and I need something more reliable and more professorial.

The trouble with lease is you're giving money away and you never own anything at the end.With hire purchase you at least own it at the end, but either way someone is going to make plenty of money out of you. There is the option of a loan and buying a van outright, or credit card. Its no different to lease really except it will probably cost less in the long run.
Plenty of deals on the net, any main dealer is going to have a good go at pulling your trousers down and greasing you up! There are probably still some pre-reg deals remaining, they will all be white vans thought.
Most dealers advertise their deals on ebay now, just do a van search close to home and see what pops up. Just remember sales people know nothing else but telling lies then dealing with the fall out after they have your cash!

The nice new shing lease plans all makes vehicles sound so cheap but as above a commitment for 3,4 or 5 years will still leave you with nothing at the end.

Do some sums and see if a loan / outright purchase would make better sense?

Or if leasing seems attractive ask about the approx cost of buying it at the end of the agreement.
