Switch to electric without betting your balance sheet on battery values. Long-term hire of electric vans and cars at a fixed monthly cost, with maintenance included and the depreciation risk staying with us.
Electric vehicles can cut running costs and help you meet sustainability targets — but buying them outright means taking on an uncertain resale value and technology that moves quickly. Leasing-style long-term hire lets your business go electric with one predictable monthly cost and none of the residual-value risk.
We supply electric vans and cars from our depot in Muckamore, Antrim to businesses across Northern Ireland, on the same straightforward long-term hire terms as the rest of our fleet.
Used EV values are harder to predict than diesel. With long-term hire, depreciation and resale are our problem — you pay the agreed monthly rate and hand the vehicle back.
Charging typically costs less per mile than diesel, and electric drivetrains have fewer moving parts — so less routine wear over the life of the hire.
Zero tailpipe emissions support your sustainability reporting and strengthen bids where environmental criteria count — increasingly common in public-sector and corporate contracts.
Range and charging speeds are improving quickly. Hiring long-term rather than owning means you aren’t locked into today’s technology for years.
Like all our long-term options, this is a hire agreement, not a finance product — no loan, no balloon payment and no ownership transfer.
| Buying an EV outright | Traditional EV contract hire / finance | Long-term EV hire with Value Van Rental | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Full purchase price | Deposit / advance rentals | No large upfront outlay |
| Battery & resale value | Your risk | Usually priced into the rentals | Our risk, not yours |
| Typical commitment | You own it until you sell | Fixed term, often 2–5 years | Flexible — agreed with you |
| Maintenance | Your cost to arrange | Often an optional extra | Included in your monthly rate |
| Trying EVs before committing fleet-wide | Hard to reverse | Locked into the term | Start small, scale up |
