  • Fixed monthly payments for easy budgeting.

If you’re looking for even shorter lease terms (from just 84 days), visit our short term leasing page.

Is it right for you?

Is a 12 Month Lease Right for Your Business?

If your business needs flexibility without long-term commitment, a 12-month lease strikes the ideal balance. It gives you access to a new or nearly-new commercial vehicle for a full year—long enough to support growth and planning, short enough to adapt to change.
A 12-month lease works particularly well for:
  • Fleet trials or expansion: If you’re testing new vehicle types or expanding into new service areas.
  • Contract-based projects: Construction, logistics, and service industries often benefit from flexible fleet terms tied to seasonal or one-off contracts.
  • Budget control: Fixed monthly costs with no large upfront investment make forecasting easier, especially for businesses watching cash flow.
Compared to shorter agreements like short term van leasing, a 12-month lease typically comes with better rates and more vehicle options. Unlike longer contracts, you’re not tied in for years—perfect for businesses that expect their needs to evolve.

Common questions asked

12 month leasing, answered

Can I end my 12 month lease early?

Contracts are set for a fixed 12-month period, so while early termination may be possible, it can be costly and is not always the best option. If you think you may need a van for less than a year, it might be better to explore our short term van leasing options, which start from just 84 days and offer greater flexibility with a much shorter fixed term.

What happens after 12 months?

At the end of your lease, you can either return the van, renew the lease, or upgrade to a different vehicle based on your business needs.

Is insurance or maintenance included?

Leases typically do not include insurance, but optional maintenance packages may be available depending on the offer and lease structure.
