Pickup Leasing FAQs
What makes pickup a great leasing choice?
Combination of business and personal use
Due to their versatility and affordability, double cab pickups are popular with a variety of businesses. Builders, plumbers, electricians, and lots of other trades use them because they are great for transporting supplies and equipment during the week, and comfortable enough to double as a family car at the weekend.
Low BIK tax rates
For BIK tax purposes, HMRC has accepted that a double-cab pickup with a payload in excess of one tonne is a van. Vans are charged BIK at the same fixed or flat rate: the van BIK rate for 2021/2022 is £3,500. This means:
- If you're a 20% taxpayer, van BIK is £700 per year - around £58.33 per month
- If you're a 40% taxpayer, van BIK is £1,400 per year - around £116.67 per month
That is less than most cars, which makes pickups a popular choice for company cars since high-end models are just as well equipped as regular cars.
Flexibility and robustness
Some people might find leasing a pick-up truck a better option than leasing a van. Depending on the business needs, pick up can offer more flexibility. Firstly, a pickup truck does not have height restrictions. You can load 10ft tall pallets into the back of your pickup with ease. If you try to do that with a van, you won't have enough room at the door. A pickup also has better rear visibility but not only that. Its bed weighs much less than a van's body, so it can carry more weight on the tongue (rear axle) of the truck, allowing it to tow heavier trailers easily.
Looks great and drives great
We often see professional trade customers opt for pickup trucks, even when they don't need to carry any tools. They lease pickups because the luxurious trucks create a professional image for the business, while still offering car-like comfort.
Why leasing is the smartest way to obtain a brand new pickup truck?
Low cost
If you lease a pickup, whether for business or for personal use, you don't have to pay a large amount upfront as you would if you bought it outright, or commit to high monthly loan repayments. Leasing a pickup is an affordable way to obtain a brand new vehicle. You simply pay a low initial rental followed by equal monthly rentals for the duration of the agreement. Once your contract is up, you hand the vehicle back to the funder and you can choose a new one. So simple!
No depreciation
Depreciation is the decrease in the value of a vehicle after a certain period of time. When you purchase a pick-up, you can almost certainly resell it for less than what you paid for it; however, if you lease one, this problem is no longer your concern.
Drive new more often
When leasing, you drive a brand new vehicle every few years which allows you to stay up-to-date with the latest technology and keep up with life and business changes with ease.
Full vehicle maintenance
When leasing with CVC, you can add a maintenance package to your pickup deal. For a small charge, the funder will take care of all repairs, service and maintenance of your new pickup. Read our 'What is vehicle maintenance? What's included and what isn't?' guide to find out more.

Pick-up accessories are one of the many things we offer, and our expert technicians will even install them prior to the delivery of your pickup truck, so you can start enjoying it right away.
