FAQ's
Before You Buy
Is it possible to view or test drive your vans?
Yes, you can view and test drive any of our used vans before purchase. However, new vans are not kept at our site in Bristol and can be anywhere in the UK. This does mean that a test drive of a new van with us is not possible, however you can always test drive locally, or using one of our used but nearly new vans.
Am I eligible for finance?
Any person over the age of 18, and any business can apply for finance with us. We work as a credit broker, and so acceptance is at the discretion of our carefully selected finance providers. All applications are subject to a credit check and affordability assessment.
When do I need to pay a deposit?
In order to secure a vehicle, we require a small holding deposit. This can be as little as £250 for a used van, or £500 for a new van. Balance payments are not due until the van is ready, our sales team will keep you up to date.
Do you charge an arrangement fee?
No, we don’t! Unlike a lot of dealerships and brokers, we do not charge an arrangement fee. These fees can come under many names such as admin fee, document fee, acceptance fee, etc.
However, some of our finance providers may charge their own admin fee. Our sales team will always make you aware of any finance charges, and you will have plenty of time to read your finance documents before signing.
How quickly can I get my vehicle?
Most of our used vans are ready to go as soon as today! However, if the van is new into stock, we may need some time to prepare it to our high standards.
With new vans, delivery for in stock vans typically within 7-10 working days. For new vans not in stock, factory order times can take up to 6 months. Our sales team will keep you up to date.
