Why Open Leasing is the Perfect Stopgap

As an experienced vehicle leasing provider we appreciate there are times where you just need a vehicle, in a hurry, and for a shorter period of time.

While some larger leasing firms don’t offer this facility at all, and others outsource it, here at WVL we’re proud to say that our independent approach to vehicle leasing makes us much more able to adapt to individual customer needs.

Why take out an open-end lease with WVL?

Some of the biggest advantages to taking out a short-term vehicle lease with us include:

Stay mobile when your vehicle is off the road for an unknown period of time

If you’ve been in an accident or put in a position for another reason where your car is damaged and awaiting repair, your thoughts might quickly turn to how you’re going to stay mobile.

The first thought for many people is to seek a cover car paid for by their insurance company. However, some simply don’t have the level of cover needed to make that happen. If the repair on their vehicle is extensive, that could see them off the road for a lengthy period of time.

That’s a common reason we see for people needing a short-term auto lease, and one we’re well-placed to provide. Whether you need a vehicle for work, or purely for personal use, our Open Lease service is designed to get you a comparable vehicle for rental periods as short as  .

Give new starters a probation-period vehicle

Another popular reason you might need a short-term car rental is if you’re involved in sourcing company cars for new starters.

At WVL we often get calls from HR managers and similar, who’ve been asked to make sure a new hire has the ability to get out and about on the roads. And in many cases, that vehicle is needed by the following Monday!

The great news is that with our extensive network, we’re not only able to find such vehicles at short notice, we’re also able to draw up highly competitive rental terms that suits every party.

Better still, because our Open Lease service is designed to be ultra-flexible, we’re also often able to extend the agreement past its initial term. So if your new starter passes their probation and decides they want a different vehicle, they’ll be able to hold on to their current one until the new one is ready for them!

Existing customers aren’t credit checked

Another reason why open leasing is the perfect stopgap for business fleets is that with existing customers, we don’t need to do a credit check for each vehicle. In other words, if we’re already leasing a vehicle to you already, we won’t make you do all the paperwork again!

This common-sense approach to open-end car leases means we’re able to turn around agreements incredibly quickly for brands we’ve leased to before, which is a win-win for all concerned.

Of course, if you’ve never leased through us before, that might mean a little more paperwork up front. However, if your new starter does decide to switch cars as mentioned above, you’ll then benefit from having done the credit check when it comes to the longer-term leasing agreement!

Enjoy leasing with a personal touch

As mentioned at the start of this post, many leasing providers simply don’t see short term vehicle leases as relevant to their business. But at WVL, we put our customer’s needs first. We believe in keeping people mobile, and will go to every length we can to make sure we secure you the short-term car rental you need – as quickly and straightforwardly as possible. We’ll happily have a conversation to walk you through every step of the process, and we’ll always be entirely transparent about contract terms, so you know what your responsibilities are.

Short-term vehicle leasing that makes sense

At WVL, we recognise that when you need a vehicle, you need a vehicle – and we make it our mission to make that whole process easy and hassle-free.

So if you need a car or van in a hurry, don’t delay – get in touch with us today  on 01753 801913.
