Van or camper van leasing:advantages and disadvantages

The fitted van or van has become a very attractive and increasingly attractive means of transport. Despite its success, it is not possible for everyone to invest in this type of vehicle. This is why renting offers a profitable alternative for people wishing to try the experience. Leasing has become financially more attractive by optimizing vehicle occupancy time and by lower monthly payments than conventional credit.

The advantages of the LOA of a camper van / van

Freedom, when you want it. The rental allows a breath of fresh air without obligations, it is a freedom that does not need to be profitable. Indeed, by choosing the rental over the desired duration, there is no need to be forced to use it constantly to optimize its costs. Already, choosing a van fitted out for traveling is a real money saver (possibility of eating and sleeping on the spot), with the rental, the rental company hardly cares about anything. All you have to do is enjoy. In addition, unlike the purchase, there is no need to take care of the heavy task of approval, everything is already in order. This avoids lengthy and detailed checks.

The main thing about leasing is that you don't have to worry as much about the maintenance and storage of the vehicle as if it were a purchase. Even if it is still necessary to take care of the good condition of the vehicle, the rental releases a good number of charges and worries. By renting a van occasionally, rather than having it on hand constantly, the long-term parking problem is also much less present.

On the other hand, rental companies guarantee a quality vehicle, their goal being to make it profitable, they offer different rental periods, which adapt to the needs of the rental company. Some rental companies also offer 24-hour roadside assistance, so you don't have to worry about the risk of breakdowns. Unlike rental through private individuals, leasing offers you a clear contract on your rental and its conditions.

If the van chosen the first time did not give a good experience, the renter can easily choose another van during the next rental, according to his wishes. This turns out to be a good way to test the van or van and even be able to buy it at the end of the contract if there has been a crush.

The disadvantages of leasing a van/van

Depending on when you choose to rent a van, renting can quickly become expensive. Obviously, in the summer period the prices are very different than in the other seasons. In addition, a rental that is renewed several times is not necessarily profitable in the long term either.

Do not underestimate the cost of vehicle options, which once added together, can quickly increase the bill. Depending on the duration of the rental and the use, it is therefore necessary to choose which type of van to rent, in order to avoid unnecessary expenses.

In addition, the lessor must choose a rental period according to what the company offers. It is therefore necessary to adapt its plans to this duration. The company may also limit the number of kilometers allowed to be travelled. If these kilometers are exceeded, an additional fee is charged on each additional kilometer driven. Finally, if the rental is for a long period and over long journeys, the insurance to be taken out must often be all-risk, which affects the cost of financing.

Lease with option to buy, to think about

Leasing therefore offers a lot of advantages but also disadvantages from a financial point of view. It is therefore necessary to think about your needs and expectations in relation to renting a van or a van.
