About DriveSimple

The Van Company That Allows You to Get A Van on Your Terms

Welcome to DriveSimple. Our mission is to help businesses and sole traders get the vans they need to grow, without the financial risks and long lock-ins of traditional van leasing.

An Experienced Team, Dedicated To Making Van Hire Work For The Customer

DriveSimple was founded by John Agnew, who helped grow Streetcar from 30 vehicles to 1,500 before it was sold to Zipcar for £32m. During that time, he also launched Streetvan, the UK’s first van-sharing service.

So John knows vans.

And yet… When it came to securing vans for clients, even he struggled. He found himself battling against a van leasing industry packed with: 

Confusing jargon and complex contracts
Vans promised but not delivered because providers didn’t own them
Rigid 24-48 month lock-ins with no exit
Harsh credit checks shutting out even well-funded clients
That’s when John realised that there must be another way. A way that worked for the customer. A better way to get a van.

So, he started DriveSimple with Streetcar’s founder. 

Our Mission

To help businesses and sole traders get the vans they need to grow, without the financial risks and long lock-ins of traditional van leasing.
Van Subscriptions

The Flexible, Low Commitment Alternative To Traditional Van Leasing

We speak to business owners, tradespeople and sole traders every day.

So, we know that many of you wish you could get hold of a van - or even multiple vans - to take your business to the next level.

We understand that most of you don’t want the risk of a no-exit, multi-year lease.

Until now, that meant sacrificing growth or taking a financial gamble. DriveSimple was founded to solve this problem.

Our van subscriptions are 100% customisable - from duration, to deposit, to cancellation.

Upfront costs are low, prices never go up and the process is quick and easy. We own all of our vans, so our customers can get the vehicle they sign up for, delivered to their door within 5 days.

What Makes DriveSimple’s Van Subscriptions Different To Old Fashioned Van Leases?

Total Flexibility

Build a van subscription to match your needs. You choose contact length and deposit. You can even set your own cancellation policy.

Low Upfront Costs

Contracts start from just 6 months, with £0 deposit and 3-month cancellation options available. Enjoy up to 90% less commitment than typical van leases.

No Price Rises

You’ll pay the same price as long as you keep your van. We don't ratchet up costs for loyal customers, like most other van hire providers.

Simple Process

We don't put potential customers through the ringer. Our credit checks are quick and easy, and we have nearly 100% approval rates.

Fast Delivery

We own our vans. No third parties. So, they’re ready for customers to drive within 5 days, and can be delivered straight to your doorstep.

Brand Your Van

Unlike most van leasing companies, we allow customers to wrap their vans. So, it won’t just be on your terms. It will be on your brand, too.
