Pickup Leasing & Contract Hire

With pickup leasing, you simply pay a small initial amount, usually equivalent to three monthly payments, at the start of the lease. Then each month you pay a fixed monthly payment for the term of the agreed lease. You will have an agreed annual mileage allowance for the pickup lease to meet your requirements (Excess mileage charges will apply if you exceed the contract mileage.) At the end of the lease period (typically two or three years), you simply hand the pickup back.

Note: It is your responsibility to ensure the pickup truck is kept in good condition as you may pay for any damage outside the BVRLA Fair Wear & Tear Guide at the end of the contract. It is possible to add servicing and maintenance to most of our lease deals for an additional fixed monthly cost. Also, you need to insure the vehicle yourself. 

When looking to lease a pickup up, it's worth considering the different types of cabin styles available. The types of cabs include: 

• Single cab: A two-door pickup, typically with seating for a driver and a passenger. 

• King/ super cab: These pickups have additional small rear windows and sometimes an extra row of seats, ideal for occasional use.  

• Double cab: These pickups feature four individual doors and generous passenger space. Double cab pickups prove particularly popular as they're bigger and spacious inside. 

If you're looking to lease a practical vehicle for both work and personal life, then a pickup truck is worth considering. This offers the technology and comfort of a car, along with excellent off-road capabilities. Also, many pickups have a towing capacity up to 3,500kg, as well as a payload over 1,000kg. These are ideal vehicles for carrying heavy loads and offer great practicality. Many drivers like pickup trucks as the high driving position offers excellent visibility of the road ahead. As well, many pickup trucks come with four-wheel drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) options, making them ideal for off-road adventures. They can tackle rugged terrain, making them popular choices for outdoor enthusiasts.With pickup leasing, you to drive a brand-new pickup truck with the latest features and technology. You can drive a newer pickup but without the long-term commitment of ownership.

Both pickup trucks and vans are classed as commercial vehicles and offer excellent practicality. However, they have distinct differences that set them apart. The most noticeable difference is their body style. Pickup trucks typically have an open cargo bed at the rear, separated from the passenger cabin. Vans, on the other hand, have a closed and typically larger cargo area that is integrated with the passenger compartment. Also, pickup trucks are favoured for off-road adventures due to their rugged build, four-wheel drive options, and higher ground clearance. Vans are generally less suited for off-roading. Moreover, pickup trucks are known for their towing capabilities and are often equipped with powerful engines and towing packages, allowing them to tow trailers, boats, or other heavy loads. Vans typically have lower towing capacities in comparison.

The pickup truck's payload capacity relates to the amount of weight it can carry (without towing). It includes not only the actual cargo or goods being transported but also any passengers, equipment, or accessories that contribute to the overall weight. Payload varies depending on the make/model/cab type of the pickup you choose. For example, the popular Ford Ranger has a gross payload over 1,000kg, although it's worth checking specific models for an exact figure. 

In the context of vehicles, payload is a critical consideration for safety, performance, and compliance with weight regulations. Exceeding a vehicle's payload capacity can lead to reduced maneuverability, increased wear and tear on the vehicle, and even safety hazards such as reduced braking efficiency. Manufacturers typically specify a vehicle's maximum payload capacity in its technical specifications to help users determine how much weight they can safely carry. 

Yes, it is necessary to undergo a credit check or credit search when leasing a pickup truck. This process entails a comprehensive examination of your financial history and credit report by the creditor. The primary purpose behind this assessment is twofold: first, to evaluate your credibility and financial responsibility as a borrower, and second, to ascertain your capacity to meet the monthly lease payments for the pickup truck. Through the credit check, they gain valuable insights into your creditworthiness.
