Types of van finance

Typically, there are a few ways to buy a van. Each option comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. The best choice for your van finance will depend on your circumstances.

Van loan

A van loan, sometimes called an Unsecured Personal Loan (UPL), is a financing option where you borrow a lump sum of money to buy a van and repay it through monthly instalments, but you’ll own the vehicle from the start. While no upfront deposit is required, it’s important to note that the interest rate and monthly payments can be higher than with other van finance options, depending on your credit score.

Hire purchase

Hire purchase (HP) is where you make a regular monthly payment for a van with a fixed interest rate – meaning you know exactly how much you are paying every month. The deposit can be flexible or even not required at all. The van is owned by the lender until you pay the last monthly instalment and the option to purchase fee.

Personal contract purchase

Personal contract purchase (PCP) allows you to buy a van through fixed monthly instalments, like hire purchase. PCP tends to have lower monthly payments as you don't have to pay the van's total value. But should you decide to keep the van at the end of the agreement you will need to pay a substantial ‘balloon payment’ to purchase it outright.

Personal contract hire

Personal Contract Hire (PCH) is a flexible leasing option that lets you hire a van for a fixed term with manageable monthly payments and an upfront rental fee. You get full use of the vehicle during the lease, but keep in mind you'll be responsible for upkeep costs. You then return it at the end - there’s no option to buy, making it ideal if you prefer driving the latest models without long-term ownership.

Can I get a van loan if I’ve had bad credit in the past?

You don’t necessarily have to have a good credit score to be approved for car finance – but it helps! Some lenders are willing to help borrowers with a poor credit score, and a few even specialise in poor credit history finance.

So, if your credit score isn’t great, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you won’t be able to finance your car. It just means that you might have to shop around to find the right lender for you. Keep in mind that borrowing with bad credit may come with higher interest rates and monthly payments, so the overall cost of finance could be more.

Be careful though: if you’re struggling to pay off your existing debts it’s always best to get on top of these first before borrowing more. Talk to your lenders to make a plan to get your finances back on track. This will help to improve your credit score.
