Choose wisely and you can make your money go further – choose unadvisedly and costs could soar. That’s why LDV offers four
van finance options so you can choose the option that suits you.
Outright Purchase/Cash
Total flexibility; the customer retains fleet policy and has no contractual obligations to LDV.
