We strongly recommend van ply lining for all leased vans. This simple, low-cost solution will help you avoid vehicle damage charges at the end of your lease.
What is van ply lining?
Van ply lining uses a layer of high-quality plywood to shield your van's interior cargo area from damage, while also helping to prevent dents and dings on the exterior panels.
Our ply lining is precisely machine-cut for a perfect fit to your van model and meticulously finished by hand for a professional look. With our extensive expertise, you can be confident your vehicle is protected for the long term.
Why is it so important to ply line your leased van?
In order to maintain the value of such a highly valuable asset as a van, ply-lining is an ideal solution. Here's why you should ply-line your new van.
Protect your van from damage
Scratches and dents from shifting cargo are an inevitable part of van life. This internal damage, often caused by load movement in transit, can quickly degrade your vehicle. Ply lining offers a cost-effective and robust solution.
A fitted plywood lining protects your van's interior from wear and tear, ensuring your tools and equipment are transported securely. It also acts as a durable shield against scrapes and scratches during daily loading and unloading.
Avoid end-of-contract charges
It's easy to underestimate scratches and dents. But they chip away the protective paint and primer, leaving the bare metal exposed to rust and corrosion. This rust compromises the van's structural integrity and significantly reduces its resale value.
As a result, the finance company cannot sell the vehicle for its expected value at the end of your lease. To recover this financial loss, they will charge you for the damage.
Keep your van leak-free and your load safe
Without ply lining, eroded panels compromise your van's cargo protection. Rust holes allow rain, dirt, and debris to enter, accelerating corrosion and putting your valuable tools and equipment at risk of water damage.
Save money on repairs
Repairing damage is essential to prevent it from worsening, but it's costly—especially for a fleet. A ply-lined van significantly reduces or even eliminates these repair expenses.
How much does it cost to ply a van?
Compared to the damage charges you might receive at the end of your van lease agreement, van ply lining is a small expense.
Ply-lining can cost anywhere from £120 (+VAT) for a compact van to £340 (+VAT) for one of our biggest vans.
