If a business wants to test the water with a larger van, then a lease will allow them to do so without the large monetary outlay.

Leasing will allow you to keep your vehicle up to date and well maintained. If you buy, the vehicle will continue to depreciate for as long as you own it. Leasing lets you update to a new vehicle when it suits you, at a lower initial cost.

Buying a van is a big financial commitment, you need to be sure of your exact needs and you need a good idea of what your future needs will be.

A restriction on mileage may apply when you hire. This may be a pivotal element in your decision whether or not to lease. You should however be able to shop around for different deals and restrictions. Depending on your own needs, this may not even be a problem.
