About Us

About Us

At Direct Van Credit, we pride ourselves on putting the needs of our customers at the forefront of what we do. We believe that everyone deserves to get that ‘new van’ feeling of driving away from a van showroom. That’s why we use our experience and the contacts we have built up with finance providers to ensure our customers have the best chance possible of getting that new van feeling.

We understand that things can happen in life that can affect your credit rating but we believe this shouldn’t be a barrier to you owning the van you need to get to work, do the school run or just get away and enjoy yourself – Representative 12.9% APR.

Do you feel that you will have a very limited choice of vans and not get the van to suit your needs?

Well we don’t accept that. We have a wide range of vans and something for all needs and budgets.

Will the salesperson not have your best interests at heart?

It is part of our ethics and culture that we want the very best we can achieve for our customers. We are in your corner and working for you.

Once I’ve bought my van you will forget about me, right?

Wrong, we want to see you again when you next change your vehicle, so we want to make sure that you remain happy throughout the time you have your van. We provide a free comprehensive 3 month warranty and breakdown service on every van and can extend this up to 2 years to give you peace of mind. You can ring the Claims line to get help and advice if you have any issues. On the other hand if you are really happy with us, and we are sure you will be, then invite your friends down to see us and call in and have a coffee!

Won’t I be limited on choice of vans?

No! We sell vans from most of the leading manufacturers, including Audi, BMW, Citroen, Fiat, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar, Kia, Mazda, Mini, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, Seat, Skoda, Toyota, Vauxhall and VW. We have lots of vans in stock with new stock arriving daily. And we have a wide choice of ages and mileage and petrol or diesel and autos or manual and MPVs or prestige or saloons or estates or crossovers to suit your needs and budget.

Yes! All of our finance agreements are Hire Purchase which means as long as you make all repayments on the agreement, when your final payment is made the van is yours to keep or sell.

When we receive your application, we aim to have a decision within the hour.

Will this help repair my credit?
